Self-hostable experiment tracking for machine learning engineers who want high logging throughput from about five lines of Python.
mlop is an MLOps framework for tracking training runs. It covers experiment tracking and lifecycle management for models, and the whole platform can be self-hosted, so runs and the data behind them stay on hardware you already have.
Instrumenting a project is short. Install the package, call init with a project name, log values as training proceeds and finish at the end. The README leads with a side by side recording of the mlop logger against a conventional one, because stable data throughput is the property the project optimizes for above everything else.
The work is split across a few pieces you can adopt separately.
- Python client: the mlop package installs from PyPI and carries the logging calls a run needs.
- Self-hosted server: a companion server repository comes up in three commands with docker compose and an environment file.
- Hosted platform: an account on the mlop service runs the same client code with no infrastructure of your own.
- Notebooks: an introductory Colab notebook and a PyTorch tutorial walk through a first run end to end.
- Design stance: the project follows a keep it simple philosophy and treats throughput as the top priority.
The team describes mlop as built by ML engineers who were tired of the state of the art in observability tooling, with the stated aim of informing you about model performance and saving compute time rather than charging for it. Documentation and a community chat sit alongside the repository.
