Intro

In this episode, guest host and AI correspondent Mofi Rahman interviews Richard Liaw and Kai-Hsun Chen from Anyscale about Ray and KubeRay. Ray is an open-source unified compute framework that makes it easy to scale AI and Python workloads, while KubeRay integrates Ray’s capabilities into Kubernetes clusters.
