About ModelDB

ModelDB is an open source system for versioning machine learning models and tracking experiment metadata. It stores model artifacts, hyperparameters, and metrics in a central repository, enabling reproducibility and comparison across runs. The tool is written in Java and provides a REST API for integration with existing ML pipelines.

Best for

Teams that need a self-hosted, open source solution for model versioning and experiment metadata tracking

Use cases

  • Versioning trained models and linking them to specific experiment configurations
  • Logging and querying experiment metadata such as hyperparameters and evaluation metrics
  • Reproducing past model runs by retrieving stored artifacts and parameters
