mlflow-skinny 3.11.1

MLflow is an open source platform for the complete machine learning lifecycle

📣 This is the mlflow-skinny package, a lightweight MLflow package without SQL storage, server, UI, or data science dependencies. Additional dependencies can be installed to leverage the full feature set of MLflow. For example:

• To use the mlflow.sklearn component of MLflow Models, install scikit-learn, numpy and pandas.
• To use SQL-based metadata storage, install sqlalchemy, alembic, and sqlparse.
• To use serving-based features, install flask and pandas.

Note: When using mlflow-skinny, set the tracking URI to your remote MLflow server:

export MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI="http://your-mlflow-server:5000"

1. Start MLflow Server

uvx mlflow server

2. Enable Logging

import mlflow

mlflow.set_tracking_uri("http://localhost:5000")
mlflow.openai.autolog()

3. Run Your Code

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI()
client.responses.create(
    model="gpt-5.4-mini",
    input="Hello!",
)

Explore traces and metrics in the MLflow UI at http://localhost:5000.

LLMs & Agents

MLflow provides everything you need to build, debug, evaluate, and deploy production-quality LLM applications and AI agents. Supports Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Java and any other programming language. MLflow also natively integrates with OpenTelemetry and MCP.

Observability Capture complete traces of your LLM applications and agents for deep behavioral insights. Built on OpenTelemetry, supporting any LLM provider and agent framework. Monitor production quality, costs, and safety. Getting Started →	Evaluation Run systematic evaluations, track quality metrics over time, and catch regressions before they reach production. Choose from 50+ built-in metrics and LLM judges, or define your own. Getting Started →
Prompts & Optimization Version, test, and deploy prompts with full lineage tracking. Automatically optimize prompts with state-of-the-art algorithms to improve performance. Getting Started →	AI Gateway Unified API gateway for all LLM providers. Route requests, manage rate limits, handle fallbacks, and control costs through an OpenAI-compatible interface with built-in credential management, guardrails and traffic splitting for A/B testing. Getting Started →

Model Training

For machine learning and deep learning model development, MLflow provides a full suite of tools to manage the ML lifecycle:

• Experiment Tracking — Track models, parameters, metrics, and evaluation results across experiments
• Model Evaluation — Automated evaluation tools integrated with experiment tracking
• Model Registry — Collaboratively manage the full lifecycle of ML models
• Deployment — Deploy models to batch and real-time scoring on Docker, Kubernetes, Azure ML, AWS SageMaker, and more
