About this episode
Scott Hanselman talks with Omar Shorbaji from the Anyscale engineering team about how Anyscale on Azure scales Python AI workloads from a single notebook to thousands of CPUs and GPUs. Built on Ray, the most widely adopted AI compute engine, Anyscale gives you a unified runtime to build, train, and serve, running directly on Azure Kubernetes Service without the complexity of managing Kubernetes. See a live demo that fine-tunes a vision-language-action robotics policy, with the metrics you need to push GPU utilization higher.
