MLflow is an open-source platform for managing the ML lifecycle: experiment tracking, model packaging, deployment, and registry. It's framework-agnostic (works with PyTorch, TensorFlow, etc.) and is the most widely adopted MLOps tool.

Why should I use MLflow?

MLflow solves common ML pain points: tracking experiments (which hyperparameters worked), packaging models for deployment, versioning models in a registry, and reproducing results. It saves hours of manual tracking and prevents lost experiment results.

How does MLflow compare to Weights & Biases?

MLflow is open-source and self-hostable. W&B is SaaS with better visualization. MLflow has broader deployment features (model registry, serving). W&B has better experiment comparison UIs. Many teams use MLflow for deployment and W&B for experiment tracking.

What is MLflow Tracking?

MLflow Tracking logs experiments: parameters, metrics, artifacts, and code. Use mlflow.log_param(), mlflow.log_metric(), mlflow.log_artifact() in your training code. View results in the MLflow UI to compare runs and find the best model configuration.

What is the MLflow Model Registry?

The Model Registry is a centralized store for managing ML models through their lifecycle. Register models, add versions, transition through stages (Staging → Production), and track lineage. Essential for production ML with multiple model versions.

How do I deploy models with MLflow?

MLflow packages models in a standard format that deploys anywhere. Options: mlflow models serve (local REST API), MLflow plugins for cloud (SageMaker, Azure ML), Docker containers, or export to standard formats (ONNX, TensorFlow Serving).

Can MLflow track LLM applications?

Yes. MLflow has native support for LLMs: track prompts and responses, log LLM-specific metrics, evaluate with built-in metrics (toxicity, relevance), and manage prompt versions. Use mlflow.langchain or mlflow.openai for automatic tracking.
