Anyscale announced Ray 1.0, the latest version of the Ray open source project.

Ray 1.0, which provides a universal serverless compute API and an expanded ecosystem of libraries, was shared with attendees at the first annual Ray Summit, along with the announcement of the private beta of Anyscale's managed Ray platform.

With the goal of building the most comprehensive library ecosystem for distributed applications, Ray 1.0 expands on existing support for its native libraries including RLlib, Tune, Ray Serve and RaySGD, and now supports libraries such as Hugging Face, spaCy, Horovod, PyTorch, Hyperopt, Optuna, Dask, Modin and Mars.

"Ray 1.0 signals a substantial investment in the project's stability, maturity, and production-readiness, and because Ray is used to develop so many other libraries, this release impacts the entire application ecosystem," said Robert Nishihara, co-creator of Ray and CEO of Anyscale.

"At Intel, we're using Ray in a number of ways to support our AI applications. Not only do we leverage it through Analytics Zoo with RayOnSpark, we leverage Ray for hyperparameter search, model selection, and AutoML. Ray and its libraries have proven invaluable in meeting the demands of AI workloads for our users," said Jason Dai, Senior Principal Engineer, Intel.
