Overview
Determined AI is a deep learning training platform that simplifies distributed training, hyperparameter tuning, and resource management. The platform automates many of the painful aspects of deep learning like distributed training setup, fault tolerance, and hyperparameter optimization. Determined AI was acquired by Hewlett Packard Enterprise in 2021.
The platform is particularly strong for teams training large models that require distributed GPU training. Determined AI handles the complexity of multi-node training, allowing researchers to focus on model development rather than infrastructure.
