In their own words
DataRobot
DataRobot is a platform for developing, delivering, and governing agentic, generative, and predictive AI solutions. Its Agent Workforce Platform supports building production agents, deploying them across infrastructure, and governing them organization-wide. Development tools include data and tool registries, a vector store, code-first workflows, and workflow evaluation and comparison. Integrations cover business applications, LLMs, APIs and frameworks, data platforms, and AI infrastructure, with documented connections to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Snowflake. The platform can run on-premise, in a virtual private cloud, or as software as a service. DataRobot says it encrypts data in transit and at rest and supports SAML single sign-on, multifactor authentication, and LDAP for self-managed customers. It lists ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certifications. Pricing is on request, with a 30-day trial. The trial costs nothing, allows up to five team members, and deletes data and assets 30 days after expiration unless the user contacts Sales.
FLAML
FLAML is free, MIT-licensed open-source software for automated machine learning and tuning. It seeks accurate models or configurations while using low computational resources, and can adapt large language models to applications to reduce monetary costs. Supported AutoML tasks include classification, regression, time-series and panel forecasting, learning to rank, and sequence classification. The flaml.default package recommends data-dependent hyperparameter defaults without runtime tuning. Tuning handles large search spaces, different evaluation costs, constraints, guidance, and early stopping; users can restrict learners or tune a customized learner. Optional integrations include OpenAI models, CatBoost, Vowpal Wabbit, Prophet, statsmodels, Hugging Face Transformers, Ray, Spark, NNI, BlendSearch, Azure Synapse, MLflow, and Azure Machine Learning. Python support for the latest version is 3.10 or later and earlier than 3.14. Ray and Spark enable parallel tuning, but not together, and Spark parallel training does not support GPUs. A .NET implementation is available through ML.NET.
