Algorithmia launches tool for running machine learning in production

Algorithmia today announced the commercial availability of a new tool to help companies take their machine learning models from experimentation to production. Called the Algorithmia AI Layer, the system is designed to help companies deal with the operation, integration, security, scaling, and other tasks around bringing machine learning out of the lab. It's a problem that comes up when businesses are ready to start implementing the AI models that they've built, which can often take a while. Algorithmia's own business over the past several years has positioned it to provide this AI layer. The Seattle-based startup has been operating a massive marketplace for intelligent algorithms (hence the name), which means that the team had to build a system just for running machine learning models in production with security, isolation, scalability and other key performance traits built in.
