  • Open-source core (Seldon Core 2, MLServer, Alibi) on GitHub
  • Multi-model serving with memory overcommit cuts infra cost
  • Strong observability, explainability, and drift-detection tooling
  • Handles both classical ML and generative AI on one platform
Cons
  • Production observability still maturing
  • Debugging multi-agent flows is hard
  • Steep learning curve - assumes Kubernetes fluency
  • Enterprise pricing is opaque and quote-only
  • Overkill for single-model or small-team deployments
