Anaconda Repository for IBM Cloud Pak for Data and for IBM watsonx.ai

IBM and Anaconda have expanded their collaboration to bring Anaconda’s secure open-source Python repository to IBM® Cloud Pak for Data and IBM watsonx.ai. Now, organizations can automate AI lifecycles with comprehensive, managed and curated open-source libraries and tools provided by Anaconda.

IBM Cloud Pak for Data is a fully-integrated data and AI platform that modernizes how businesses collect, organize and analyze data to infuse AI throughout their organizations. Cloud native by design, you can build, deploy and manage any model—whether it’s based on open source, IBM tools or other pre-built services in this unified, secure environment with AI governance.

IBM watsonx.ai is part of the IBM watsonx™ AI and data platform that brings together new generative AI capabilities, powered by foundation models and traditional machine learning into a powerful studio spanning the AI lifecycle. With watsonx.ai, you can train, validate, tune and deploy generative AI, foundation models and machine learning capabilities with ease and build AI applications in a fraction of the time with a fraction of the data.

With Anaconda Repository for IBM Cloud Pak for Data and for IBM watsonx.ai, you can easily put open-source and proprietary packages in the hands of your team so they can be productive and efficient, while maintaining control of the project and having the peace of mind of knowing the who, what, when, and where of packages and artifacts in your environment. Whether it’s generative AI applications or advanced statistical modeling, with Anaconda’s secure repository, both individuals and large enterprises can build, test, and deploy AI innovations at scale.

As part of our collaboration with IBM, Anaconda’s community is now able to access a no-charge lite plan of Watson Studio, offering the opportunity to manage their data science projects within IBM’s enterprise-grade environment.
