// Abstract
AI is already complex—adding the need for deep engineering expertise to use MLOps tools only makes it harder, especially for SMEs and research teams with limited resources. Yet, good MLOps is essential for managing experiments, sharing GPU compute, tracking models, and meeting AI regulations.
While cloud providers offer MLOps tools, many organizations need flexible, open-source setups that work anywhere—from laptops to supercomputers. Shared setups can boost collaboration, productivity, and compute efficiency.In this session, Jukka introduces an open-source MLOps platform from Silo AI, now packaged for easy deployment across environments. With Git-based workflows and CI/CD automation, users can focus on building models while the platform handles the MLOps.// BioFounder & CTO, 8wave AI | Senior Lecturer, Haaga-Helia University of Applied SciencesJukka Remes has 28+ years of experience in software, machine learning, and infrastructure. Starting with SW dev in the late 1990s and analytics pipelines of fMRI research in early 2000s, he’s worked across deep learning (Nokia Technologies), GPU and cloud infrastructure (IBM), and AI consulting (Silo AI), where he also led MLOps platform development.
Now a senior lecturer at Haaga-Helia, Jukka continues evolving that open-source MLOps platform with partners like the University of Helsinki. He leads R&D on GenAI and AI-enabled software, and is the founder of 8wave AI, which develops AI Business Operations software for next-gen AI enablement, including regulatory compliance of AI.
