Acumos Project is not for data scientists, but for ordinary users with tools, its main focus on the application and micro-services. The Linux Foundation now publishes fewer details, but it is certain that it will support Acumos Project development for a long time, and AT & T and Tech Mahindra will provide code for the project.

“Artificial intelligence is an important tool for human business development, but the current AI environment is fragmented and there is a big obstacle to the adoption of Acumos,” said Mazin Gilbert, vice president of technology at AT & T Labs. “Acumos will accelerate innovation and deployment of AI applications And provide it to everyone. ”
