Jozu is an MLOps toolchain that is focused on packaging and deploying AI/ML models more securely, consistently, and quickly. We believe existing MLOps tools which are targeted at data scientists are missing the security, reliability, governance, and compliance features that enterprises need when managing their own AI/ML models. On the other hand, existing CI/CD and DevOps tools aren’t built to handle the nuances and non-deterministic nature of today’s AI models.
