About
Company details for Flyte
Flyte is an open source, Apache 2.0 licensed runtime for running AI workloads such as training, serving and agents as Python workflows. It recovers from infrastructure failures such as OOM kills and preempted nodes, and from code failures by resuming the failed task with the same inputs. Users run open-source Flyte on their own Kubernetes cluster, and Union.ai offers a commercial managed version. It ranks #39 of 61 in MLOps Platforms on SlateIndex and has a visibility score of 0.9 in the latest weekly run.
It has raised about $67M. Its differentiator: durable execution: Flyte recovers from infrastructure and code failures by retrying and resuming only the failed task with the same inputs.
