Auto-PyTorch vs Obviously AI

Auto-PyTorch is a free, self-hosted machine-learning toolkit based on PyTorch. It automates algorithm selection and hyperparameter tuning, including neural-network architecture and training settings, within a user-defined search budget. Documented search methods include Bayesian optimisation, meta-learning, SMAC and Hyperband. Supported work includes tabular classification, tabular regression and time-series forecasting. Tabular preprocessing can perform imputation, categorical encoding, scaling and feature processing, while related hyperparameters are tuned. The toolkit can build ensembles from validation-set predictions, with controls for ensemble size and candidate limits. Users can set estimator memory limits and total wall time. Parallel Bayesian optimisation uses Dask.distributed; workers need shared filesystem access to training data and models. Installation documentation specifies Linux, Python 3.7 or later, a C++11-capable compiler and SWIG 3.0. SWIG 4.0 or later is unsupported. Forecasting needs extra dependencies. A Docker image and PyPI installation are documented, under the 3-clause BSD license.

Obviously AI is a freemium, web-based no-code tool for turning structured data into predictive models. Listed model uses include classification, regression, and time series prediction. Models can be published as instant web apps with shareable dynamic links, or connected through real-time REST APIs that send predictions to tools such as Power BI and Looker. Automatic model monitoring and Zapier if-this-then-that automations are also described. Integrations include Amazon Redshift, Google BigQuery, Google Drive, HubSpot, Shopify, Snowflake, Tableau, and Zapier. A structured dataset is required; the documentation recommends at least 1,000 rows and 5 columns. CSV is the listed import format, with uploads up to 10 MB. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 1,200 predictions, one user seat, unlimited models, 1M rows of training data, CSV-only data, and limits of 10,000 data rows. Obviously AI is based in San Francisco. Security information lists SOC 2 Type II, GDPR data-retention compliance, HIPAA compliance, TLS in transit, and AES-256 at rest.
