What Is Gluon? Amazon and Microsoft Team Up to Stay Dominant in the Cloud Space

Google is betting big on artificial intelligence as the driver of next generation cloud technology. Microsoft and Amazon have been paying attention. After all, Microsoft and Amazon together dominate the cloud market -- for the moment. To ensure that they remain in the driving seat, they came together last October to offer enterprises an open source development environment called Gluon to carry them forward into the next generation of cloud computing. Gluon is a new deep learning library that allows developers of all skills level to prototype, build, train and deploy machine learning models for cloud, "devices at the edge" and mobile apps.
