Building data-driven AI applications and agents is too complex, even for advanced developers. At Spice AI, we’re making it simpler by helping developers combine code, data, and AI to build truly intelligent, decision-making systems. Our mission is to make this as easy as creating a modern web page.
We created
Spice.ai OSS
,
a portable AI database written in Rust with a unified SQL interface to query, materialize, and accelerate data from any source, co-located with machine learning models. By bringing compute, data, and models together, Spice OSS enables secure
AI-Feedback-Loops (AI-Fly-Wheels)
for apps and agents to learn and adapt. We just
announced the 1.0-stable release
of Spice.ai OSS.
