About Develop on your laptop and then scale the same Python code elastically across hundreds of nodes or GPUs on any cloud, with no changes. Ray translates existing Python concepts to the distributed setting, allowing any serial application to be easily parallelized with minimal code changes. Easily scale compute-heavy machine learning workloads like deep learning, model serving, and hyperparameter tuning with a strong ecosystem of distributed libraries. Scale existing workloads (for eg. Pytorch) on Ray with minimal effort by tapping into integrations. Native Ray libraries, such as Ray Tune and Ray Serve, lower the effort to scale the most compute-intensive machine learning workloads, such as hyperparameter tuning, training deep learning models, and reinforcement learning. For example, get started with distributed hyperparameter tuning in just 10 lines of code. Creating distributed apps is hard. Ray handles all aspects of distributed execution.
