IBM Distributed AI APIs
Distributed AI is a computing paradigm that bypasses the need to move vast amounts of data and provides the ability to analyze data at the source. Distributed AI APIs built by IBM Research is a set of RESTful web services with data and AI algorithms to support AI applications across hybrid cloud, distributed, and edge computing environments. Each Distributed AI API addresses the challenges in enabling AI in distributed and edge environments with APIs. The Distributed AI APIs do not focus on the basic requirements of creating and deploying AI pipelines, for example, model training and model serving. You would use your favorite open-source packages such as TensorFlow or PyTorch. Then, you can containerize your application, including the AI pipeline, and deploy these containers at the distributed locations. In many cases, it’s useful to use a container orchestrator such as Kubernetes or OpenShift operators to automate the deployment process.

Pipeshift
Pipeshift is a modular orchestration platform designed to facilitate the building, deployment, and scaling of open source AI components, including embeddings, vector databases, large language models, vision models, and audio models, across any cloud environment or on-premises infrastructure. The platform offers end-to-end orchestration, ensuring seamless integration and management of AI workloads, and is 100% cloud-agnostic, providing flexibility in deployment. With enterprise-grade security, Pipeshift addresses the needs of DevOps and MLOps teams aiming to establish production pipelines in-house, moving beyond experimental API providers that may lack privacy considerations. Key features include an enterprise MLOps console for managing various AI workloads such as fine-tuning, distillation, and deployment; multi-cloud orchestration with built-in auto-scalers, load balancers, and schedulers for AI models; and Kubernetes cluster management.

Apache Beam
The easiest way to do batch and streaming data processing. Write once, run anywhere data processing for mission-critical production workloads. Beam reads your data from a diverse set of supported sources, no matter if it’s on-prem or in the cloud. Beam executes your business logic for both batch and streaming use cases. Beam writes the results of your data processing logic to the most popular data sinks in the industry. A simplified, single programming model for both batch and streaming use cases for every member of your data and application teams. Apache Beam is extensible, with projects such as TensorFlow Extended and Apache Hop built on top of Apache Beam. Execute pipelines on multiple execution environments (runners), providing flexibility and avoiding lock-in. Open, community-based development and support to help evolve your application and meet the needs of your specific use cases.
