Collaboration
KitOps is a packaging, versioning, and sharing system for AI/ML projects that uses open standards so it works with the AI/ML, development, and DevOps tools you are already using, and can be stored in your enterprise container registry. It's AI/ML platform engineering teams' preferred solution for securely packaging and versioning assets.
KitOps creates a ModelKit for your AI/ML project which includes everything you need to reproduce it locally or deploy it into production. You can even selectively unpack a ModelKit so different team members can save time and storage space by only grabbing what they need for a task. Because ModelKits are immutable, signable, and live in your existing container registry they're easy for organizations to track, control, and audit.
ModelKits simplify the handoffs between data scientists, application developers, and SREs working with LLMs and other AI/ML models. Teams and enterprises use KitOps as a secure storage throughout the AI/ML project lifecycle.
Use KitOps to speed up and de-risk all types of AI/ML projects:
For our friends in the EU - ModelKits are the perfect way to create a library of model versions for EU AI Act compliance because they're tamper-proof, signable, and auditable.
kit unpack --filter
command - just the model, just the dataset and code, or any other combination.model parts
, or store key-value pairs (or any YAML-compatible JSON data) in your Kitfile - use it to keep features, hyperparameters, links to MLOps tool experiments, or validation output.There's a video of KitOps in action on the KitOps site.
For those who prefer to build from the source, follow these steps to get the latest version from our repository.
ModelKit: At the heart of KitOps is the ModelKit, an OCI-compliant packaging format for sharing all AI project artifacts: datasets, code, configurations, and models. By standardizing the way these components are packaged, versioned, and shared, ModelKits facilitate a more streamlined and collaborative development process that is compatible with any MLOps or DevOps tool.
Kitfile: A ModelKit is defined by a Kitfile - your AI/ML project's blueprint. It uses YAML to describe where to find each of the artifacts that will be packaged into the ModelKit. The Kitfile outlines what each part of the project is.
Kit CLI: The Kit CLI not only enables users to create, manage, run, and deploy ModelKits -- it lets you pull only the pieces you need. Just need the serialized model for deployment? Use unpack --model
, or maybe you just want the training datasets? unpack --datasets
