// Abstract
With the explosion in tools and opinionated frameworks for machine learning, it's very hard to define standards and best practices for MLOps and ML platforms. Based on their building AWS SageMaker and Intuit's ML Platform, respectively, Alex Chung and Srivathsan Canchi talk with Demetrios and Vishnu about their experience navigating "tooling sprawl". They discuss their efforts to solve this problem organizationally with Social Good Technologies and technically with mlctl, the control plane for MLOps.
