Our take
It’s no secret AI technology has the capability to revolutionise the world. Now used across many sectors, developers are looking into and continuing to research the possibilities of machine learning. OctoML is an acceleration platform hoping to make AI the most accessible and sustainable version of itself that it can be.
The company has developed a library of products that enables users to implement AI technology into customers' already integrated systems, making it less intimidating for the more amateur user.
The company appointed Lip-Bu Tan, the executive chairman of multinational software company Cadence Design, to its board of directors in 2022. This fresh wealth of expertise will be used toward the company's next phase of expansion. After several rounds of funding gave OctoML the ability to deploy new features among the platform, it’ll be interesting to see what the company decides to do next in its scaling.
