TrueFoundry acquires MLOps pioneer Seldon AI to accelerate enterprise agentic AI
TrueFoundry Inc., a startup providing management for artificial intelligence workloads, announced Wednesday that it acquired open-source cloud-agnostic enterprise machine learning platform Seldon Technologies Ltd.
The company provides the infrastructure needed to run AI models in production without the pain of building it in-house by delivering prepackaged features for deploying and maintaining large language models. Its platform relieves developers of the hassle of building everything from scratch by providing a managed control plane to connect, observe and govern agentic applications.
Founded in 2014 by Alex Housley, Seldon raised around $33 million from backers including AlbionVC, Bright Pixel and Cambridge Innovation Capital, among others. Although it initially focused on machine learning and operations tooling as a core proposition, it has since pivoted to add cloud-agnostic inference to handle agentic AI workloads. The company’s platform enables users to deploy models as Kubernetes microservices locally or at scale.
“Seldon built the production-grade MLOps foundation that the world’s most demanding enterprises rely on,” said co-founder and Chief Executive of TrueFoundry Nikunj Bajaj. “TrueFoundry brings the control plane for the agentic AI world and together we give enterprise teams one place to deploy, observe and govern agentic AI at every stage.”
