Ludwig vs. Predibase vs. Ray vs. Wing Python IDE Comparison Chart

Ludwig is a low-code framework for building custom AI models like LLMs and other deep neural networks. Build custom models with ease: a declarative YAML configuration file is all you need to train a state-of-the-art LLM on your data. Support for multi-task and multi-modality learning. Comprehensive config validation detects invalid parameter combinations and prevents runtime failures. Optimized for scale and efficiency: automatic batch size selection, distributed training (DDP, DeepSpeed), parameter efficient fine-tuning (PEFT), 4-bit quantization (QLoRA), and larger-than-memory datasets. Expert level control: retain full control of your models down to the activation functions. Support for hyperparameter optimization, explainability, and rich metric visualizations. Modular and extensible: experiment with different model architectures, tasks, features, and modalities with just a few parameter changes in the config. Think building blocks for deep learning.

Develop on your laptop and then scale the same Python code elastically across hundreds of nodes or GPUs on any cloud, with no changes. Ray translates existing Python concepts to the distributed setting, allowing any serial application to be easily parallelized with minimal code changes. Easily scale compute-heavy machine learning workloads like deep learning, model serving, and hyperparameter tuning with a strong ecosystem of distributed libraries. Scale existing workloads (for eg. Pytorch) on Ray with minimal effort by tapping into integrations. Native Ray libraries, such as Ray Tune and Ray Serve, lower the effort to scale the most compute-intensive machine learning workloads, such as hyperparameter tuning, training deep learning models, and reinforcement learning. For example, get started with distributed hyperparameter tuning in just 10 lines of code. Creating distributed apps is hard. Ray handles all aspects of distributed execution.
