Anyscale is the company behind Ray, the fast-growing open-source unified framework for scalable computing. Founded by UC Berkeley researchers Robert Nishihara, Philipp Moritz, and Ion Stoica, who previously co-founded the AI startup Databricks, Anyscale simplifies building, deploying, and managing scalable AI and Python applications. With the growing computational demands of machine learning, Ray has emerged as a breakthrough solution - enabling organizations like ByteDance, Visa, and OpenAI to scale applications from a laptop to a cluster with minimal engineering effort.
Anyscale's managed Ray platform and offerings like Ray AI Runtime (Ray AIR) and Anyscale Workspace further streamline development, increase velocity, and unlock interoperability across ML frameworks and ecosystem tools. Fresh off a $200M Series C, Anyscale's 100+ person team is laser-focused on democratizing distributed computing for AI. While realizing the vision of "infinite laptop" scale is an ambitious multi-year journey, the company's rapid enterprise adoption and Azure-like ambitions signal significant growth potential.
