The real problem

Why trained models stop working months after launch.

A model is a prediction about a world that keeps changing — the day it launches is as accurate as it will ever be. Then behavior shifts, a data feed breaks, and it keeps returning confident answers that are quietly wrong until a number moves the wrong way.

That gap is what MLOps closes. The deployment pipelines, monitoring, drift detection, retraining, and governance around a model are what turn one that works once into a system that keeps working.

Where it does the work

Where MLOps does the work — and what each capability delivers.

Not one tool — a set of operational capabilities, each closing a specific way models fail in production.

01

Model deployment pipelines (CI/CD for ML)

Promotes a trained model to production through automated build, test, and approval gates — the way you ship code.

A fragile manual handoff becomes a repeatable, reversible deploy.

02

Production monitoring & observability

Tracks live prediction quality, latency, data health, and serving cost — with alerts when any breaches its threshold.

A silently-failing model becomes a paged incident — caught in hours, not quarters.

03

Drift detection

Watches for the moment incoming data diverges from what the model was trained on — the leading indicator of model aging.

Degradation is caught at the cause, not after the damage.

04

Automated retraining

A drift threshold, a schedule, or a performance floor triggers retraining on fresh data, revalidated against a baseline — promoted only if it wins.

Models stay current without a standing manual project.

05

Model governance & audit

Versions every model, dataset, and metric, records who approved what, and keeps the lineage and explainability trail a regulator can inspect.

Model risk becomes auditable instead of a black box.

06

AI infrastructure management

Provisions and manages the compute, GPUs, model registry, and feature store the lifecycle runs on, and keeps serving cost under control.

Capacity and cost stop being a surprise.

Model health Monitored

91% of models degrade over time. The failure thread isn't the model — it's the missing operational layer that keeps it deployed, observed, and current. That layer is the whole job here.

What's included

What our MLOps services cover.

The operational layer under your models — distinct from building the model itself.

01

MLOps assessment & target architecture

We audit how your models reach production and where they break, then design the pipeline, registry, monitoring, and governance to fit your cloud — the honest "you don't need a full platform" call included.

02

Deployment pipelines & model registry

CI/CD for models — packaging, testing, versioning, staged promotion, rollback — on a registry that's the single source of truth for what's running where.

03

Monitoring, observability & alerting

We instrument live prediction quality, data health, latency, and serving cost — dashboards and alerts that page someone when a threshold breaks.

04

Drift detection & automated retraining

We set the thresholds, wire the retraining pipeline, and gate every retrained model against a baseline — only a better model ships, no manual project.

05

Model governance & compliance

We version models, datasets, and metrics, capture approvals and lineage, and build the audit trail regulated functions require — with human-in-the-loop gates where it matters.

06

Infrastructure, cost control & enablement

We provision and manage the compute, GPUs, and feature store the lifecycle runs on, keep serving cost visible, and train your team to own it.

How it runs

How an MLOps engagement runs.

The same delivery model behind all our AI development work — one accountable lead, fixed scope, no handoffs.

STEP 01

Assess

Map how models reach production today, where they fail, and the gaps in monitoring and governance.

Output: a target architecture & the reliability metrics

STEP 02

Pipeline

Build the deployment pipeline, registry, and infrastructure in your own cloud, and get a first model flowing through it end to end.

Output: a CI/CD path from trained model to served prediction, with rollback

STEP 03

Observe

Instrument monitoring, drift detection, and cost tracking, and stand up the alerting and dashboards.

Output: live observability & a retraining loop gated on a baseline

STEP 04

Operate & enable

Run it in shadow, then production, with governance gates in place, and train your team to own the platform.

Output: a production MLOps platform & a team that operates it

Track record

The production discipline an MLOps layer is made of.

MLOps is the discipline of keeping software dependable in production after it ships — the thing we're known for, proven on a system that has run reliably for years.

A Stanford-rooted Responsible AI lab, founded 2011, run by founder Kelvin Tran — 20+ years of production engineering. We'll tell you plainly when a full platform is more than your problem needs.

Aegis AI · 200+ locations · 4+ years

For BJ's Restaurants, our Aegis AI process moved release cadence from every two weeks to twice a week with zero critical defects sustained over four years — on pre-release quality gates, staged rollout, and continuous monitoring. That's the same loop an MLOps platform runs: automated promotion, a gate that blocks a bad release, monitoring that catches a problem before it spreads — applied to models instead of code.

Why build your MLOps platform with us.

01

Operations is the whole job, not a sub-bullet. Deployment, monitoring, drift, and governance are the product — the layer most AI projects are missing when they stall.

02

Responsible AI is the founding charter. Governance, audit trails, and human-in-the-loop gates are how a model earns the right to run in a regulated or high-stakes function.

03

Cloud- and tool-neutral. We build on your cloud and the stack that fits your team, not a platform we resell.

04

Founder-led, one accountable lead. No handoffs — the person who scopes it answers for it.

05

Built to transfer. Pipelines, dashboards, infrastructure-as-code, and runbooks are assigned to you, and your team is trained to run the platform.

Questions buyers ask before they hire.

How is MLOps different from machine learning development?+
ML development builds the model — framing the problem, engineering features, training, and validating against a baseline. MLOps is the operational layer that keeps that model (or any model your team built) alive in production: deployment pipelines, monitoring, drift detection, retraining, and governance. One ends with a trained model; the other begins there. Many engagements need both, and we'll scope which your problem actually calls for — sometimes you have good models and just can't keep them reliable, which is squarely an MLOps job.
We already have models in production — can you take over operating them?+
Yes — that's a common starting point. We assess how your existing models are deployed and monitored, find where they're silently degrading or ungoverned, and build the pipeline, observability, drift detection, and retraining around them. You don't need to rebuild the models to get them onto a reliable operational footing.
How do you catch a model that's degrading before it causes damage?+
Monitoring plus drift detection. We instrument live prediction quality, input-data health, and serving cost with alerting on every threshold, and we watch for drift — the divergence between incoming data and what the model was trained on — the leading indicator of the model aging that degrades 91% of models over time. When drift or decay trips a threshold, retraining is triggered and the new model is gated against a baseline before it ever ships.
How does automated retraining avoid shipping a worse model?+
Every retrained model is validated against the current production baseline on a held-out, production-realistic split before promotion — and if it doesn't win on the metric that matters, the pipeline blocks it and keeps the existing model live. Retraining is automatic; promotion is earned. That baseline gate is the difference between a retraining loop that maintains accuracy and one that quietly degrades it.
Does this lock us into a particular cloud or MLOps platform?+
No. We build on your cloud and choose tooling that fits your team and stack rather than a platform we resell — open-source or managed, whichever serves you best. The pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and runbooks are yours, so there's no vendor steering the architecture and no license you're trapped under.
How do you handle model governance, security, and compliance?+
The platform runs inside your own cloud tenant under your access controls, and every engagement starts with an NDA and a security review. We version every model, dataset, and metric; record approvals and lineage; and build the explainability and audit trail regulated functions require — with human-in-the-loop review gates where a prediction carries real consequence. That auditability is what makes deploying in fintech and healthcare defensible rather than risky.
Who owns the platform and the code when you're done?+
You do — completely. The deployment pipelines, monitoring and governance setup, infrastructure-as-code, and runbooks transfer under full work-for-hire IP assignment signed at kickoff, and your team is trained to operate and extend the platform. The engagement is built around the handover — keep us on a reduced retainer or take the keys.
What do MLOps services cost and how long do they take?+
Most engagements reach steady state in 4–8 weeks under a fixed-scope arrangement with one accountable lead, and payment is tied to the reliability outcomes we agreed to deliver. Build cost depends on scope and how many models you're operationalizing — our AI development cost guide gives real ranges — and we model the ongoing infrastructure and serving cost before building, so the running bill is a forecast you've already seen.
