The open-source Continuous Machine Learning Platform

Build ML pipelines with only Python, run on your laptop, or in the cloud.

Sematic is an open-source ML development platform. It lets ML Engineers and Data Scientists write arbitrarily complex end-to-end pipelines with simple Python and execute them on their local machine, in a cloud VM, or on a Kubernetes cluster to leverage cloud resources.

Sematic is based on learnings gathered at top self-driving car companies. It enables chaining data processing jobs (e.g. Apache Spark) with model training (e.g. PyTorch, Tensorflow), or any other arbitrary Python business logic into type-safe, traceable, reproducible end-to-end pipelines that can be monitored and visualized in a modern web dashboard.

Why Sematic

Easy onboarding – no deployment or infrastructure needed to get started, simply install Sematic locally and start exploring.
Local-to-cloud parity – run the same code on your local laptop and on your Kubernetes cluster.
End-to-end traceability – all pipeline artifacts are persisted, tracked, and visualizable in a web dashboard.
Access heterogeneous compute – customize required resources for each pipeline step to optimize your performance and cloud footprint (CPUs, memory, GPUs, Spark cluster, etc.)
Reproducibility – rerun your pipelines from the UI with guaranteed reproducibility of results

Getting Started

To get started locally, simply install Sematic in your Python environment:

$ pip install sematic

Start the local web dashboard:

$ sematic start

Run an example pipeline:

$ sematic run examples/mnist/pytorch

Create a new boilerplate project:

$ sematic new my_new_project

Or from an existing example:

$ sematic new my_new_project --from examples/mnist/pytorch

Then run it with:

$ python3 -m my_new_project

To deploy Sematic to Kubernetes and leverage cloud resources, see our documentation.

Features

Lightweight Python SDK – define arbitrarily complex end-to-end pipelines
Pipeline nesting – arbitrarily nest pipelines into larger pipelines
Dynamic graphs – Python-defined graphs allow for iterations, conditional branching, etc.
Lineage tracking – all inputs and outputs of all steps are persisted and tracked
Runtime type-checking – fail early with run-time type checking
Web dashboard – Monitor, track, and visualize pipelines in a modern web UI
Artifact visualization – visualize all inputs and outputs of all steps in the web dashboard
Local execution – run pipelines on your local machine without any deployment necessary
Cloud orchestration – run pipelines on Kubernetes to access GPUs and other cloud resources
Heterogeneous compute resources – run different steps on different machines (e.g. CPUs, memory, GPU, Spark, etc.)
Helm chart deployment – install Sematic on your Kubernetes cluster
Pipeline reruns – rerun pipelines from the UI from an arbitrary point in the graph
Step caching – cache expensive pipeline steps for faster iteration
Step retry – recover from transient failures with step retries
Metadata and collaboration – Tags, source code visualization, docstrings, notes, etc.
Numerous integrations – See below
