Earlier this year cnvrg.io released CORE, a free platform for the data science community to help data scientists focus more on data science and less on DevOps. CORE offers some of the features of Cnvrg.io’s main tech.
The company states that CORE’s flexible infrastructure gives data scientists the control to use any language, AI framework, and compute environment whether on premise or cloud compute so they can do what they do best – build algorithms.
An Intel spokesperson told Tech Crunch, “We can confirm that we have acquired Cnvrg. Cnvrg will be an independent Intel company and will continue to serve its existing and future customers.”
