AutoGluon

What it is
AutoGluon is a free, open-source Python library for automating machine learning across tabular, time-series, and multimodal data. For tables, it trains classification and regression models while handling data cleaning, feature engineering, hyperparameter optimization, and model selection. Its TimeSeriesPredictor produces probabilistic forecasts for multiple time series using historical data and related covariates. AutoMM reduces manual work in adapting foundation models to specialized data. Documentation examples cover image and text prediction, object detection, image segmentation, document prediction, entity extraction, and semantic matching. AutoMM can adapt models from Hugging Face, TIMM, and MMDetection collections. Forecasting methods include ETS and ARIMA from StatsForecast, LightGBM, DeepAR and Temporal Fusion Transformer from GluonTS, and Chronos. AutoGluon supports Python 3.10 through 3.13 on Linux, macOS, and Windows. GPU usage is not supported on macOS; the installation guide points GPU users to Linux or Windows. AutoGluon is licensed under Apache 2.0. Cloud options include AutoGluon Cloud, described as a free wrapper, and Amazon SageMaker, where compute and S3 storage are billed to the user’s AWS account.
