Install ZenML via PyPI. Python 3.8 - 3.11 is required:
pip install "zenml[server]" notebookTake a tour with the guided quickstart by running:
zenml goZenML is a MLOps framework intended for data scientists or ML engineers looking to standardize machine learning practices. Just add @step and @pipeline to your existing Python functions to get going. Here is a toy example:
from zenml import pipeline, step
@step # Just add this decorator
def load_data() -> dict:
training_data = [[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6]]
labels = [0, 1, 0]
return {'features': training_data, 'labels': labels}
@step
def train_model(data: dict) -> None:
total_features = sum(map(sum, data['features']))
total_labels = sum(data['labels'])
print(f"Trained model using {len(data['features'])} data points. "
f"Feature sum is {total_features}, label sum is {total_labels}")
@pipeline # This function combines steps together
def simple_ml_pipeline():
dataset = load_data()
train_model(dataset)
if __name__ == "__main__":
run = simple_ml_pipeline() # call this to run the pipeline
The framework is a gentle entry point for practitioners to build complex ML pipelines with little knowledge required of the underlying infrastructure complexity. ZenML pipelines can be run on AWS, GCP, Azure, Airflow, Kubeflow and even on Kubernetes without having to change any code or know underlying internals.
from zenml.config import ResourceSettings, DockerSettings
@step(
settings={
"resources": ResourceSettings(memory="16GB", gpu_count="1", cpu_count="8"),
"docker": DockerSettings(parent_image="pytorch/pytorch:1.12.1-cuda11.3-cudnn8-runtime")
}
)
def training(...):
...zenml stack set k8s # Set a stack with kubernetes orchestrator
python run.py
Create a complete lineage of who, where, and what data and models are produced.
You’ll be able to find out who produced which model, at what time, with which data, and on which version of the code. This guarantees full reproducibility and auditability.
from zenml import Model
@step(model=Model(name="classification"))
def trainer(training_df: pd.DataFrame) -> Annotated["model", torch.nn.Module]:
...
While ZenML brings a lot of value of the box, it also integrates into your existing tooling and infrastructure without you having to be locked in.
from bentoml._internal.bento import bento
@step(on_failure=alert_slack, experiment_tracker="mlflow")
def train_and_deploy(training_df: pd.DataFrame) -> bento.Bento
mlflow.autolog()
...
return bento
The best way to learn about ZenML is the docs. We recommend beginning with the Starter Guide to get up and running quickly.
If you are a visual learner, this 11-minute video tutorial is also a great start:
And finally, here are some other examples and use cases for inspiration:
- E2E Batch Inference: Feature engineering, training, and inference pipelines for tabular machine learning.
- Basic NLP with BERT: Feature engineering, training, and inference focused on NLP.
- LLM RAG Pipeline with Langchain and OpenAI: Using Langchain to create a simple RAG pipeline.
- Huggingface Model to Sagemaker Endpoint: Automated MLOps on Amazon Sagemaker and HuggingFace
- LLMops: Complete guide to do LLM with ZenML
For full functionality ZenML should be deployed on the cloud to enable collaborative features as the central MLOps interface for teams.
Currently, there are two main ways to deploy ZenML:
- ZenML Cloud: With ZenML Cloud, you can make use of a control plane to create ZenML servers, also known as tenants. These tenants are managed and maintained by ZenML’s dedicated team, alleviating the burden of server management from your end.
- Self-hosted deployment: Alternatively, you have the flexibility to deploy ZenML on your own self-hosted environment. This can be achieved through various methods, including using our CLI, Docker, Helm, or HuggingFace Spaces.
ZenML has a VS Code extension that allows you to inspect your stacks and pipeline runs directly from your editor. The extension also allows you to switch your stacks without needing to type any CLI commands.
🖥️ VS Code Extension in Action!
ZenML is being built in public. The roadmap is a regularly updated source of truth for the ZenML community to understand where the product is going in the short, medium, and long term.
ZenML is managed by a core team of developers that are responsible for making key decisions and incorporating feedback from the community. The team oversees feedback via various channels, and you can directly influence the roadmap as follows:
- Vote on your most wanted feature on our Discussion board.
- Start a thread in our Slack channel.
- Create an issue on our GitHub repo.
We would love to develop ZenML together with our community! The best way to get
started is to select any issue from the [good-first-issue
label](https://github.com/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+archived%3Afalse+user%3Azenml-io+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22)
and open up a Pull Request!
If you would like to contribute, please review our Contributing Guide for all relevant details.
The first point of call should be our Slack group. Ask your questions about bugs or specific use cases, and someone from the core team will respond. Or, if you prefer, open an issue on our GitHub repo.
