IBM Extends Industry-Leading Enterprise AI Announcing Watson Machine Learning for z/OS 2.3 and Db2 AI for z/OS 1.4
IBM Z continues to deliver AI innovation to help customers take the greatest advantage of their mainframe application infrastructure and data with enhancements to Watson Machine Learning for z/OS and Db2 AI for z/OS.
IBM Watson Machine Learning for z/OS 2.3
IBM Watson Machine Learning for z/OS (WMLz) 2.3 is the enterprise machine learning platform on IBM Z. It enables organizations to build, deploy, and operationalize machine learning models for in-transaction AI and real-time insights.
The latest release, WMLz 2.3, is designed to significantly improve online scoring service performance for various types of machine learning models, especially for deep learning models in Open Neural Network Exchange (ONNX) format. It also includes enhancements for integration with IBM Cloud Pak for Data, installation, configuration simplification, and usability of WMLz base services, and a WMLz model Integrated Development Environment.
Also, look for the new IBM WMLz 2.3 Online Scoring Community Edition coming soon -- a lightweight version that provides a no-charge option for clients to try out the streamlined up-and-running WMLz model inferencing, in-transaction approach.
