Frequently asked questions about Cake and Katib

What is AutoML?
AutoML stands for Automated Machine Learning. AutoML automates repetitive ML tasks—choosing models, tuning parameters, and evaluating results. Katib delivers this automation natively in Kubernetes for cloud-scale ML workflows.
What is Katib?
Katib is an open-source AutoML system built on Kubernetes for hyperparameter tuning and search across ML models.
What kind of tuning algorithms does Katib support?
Katib supports grid search, random search, Bayesian optimization, TPE, and early stopping strategies via trial pruning.
Can Katib run outside of Kubeflow?
Yes. While often used with Kubeflow, Katib can also run independently in Kubernetes environments, especially with Cake’s GitOps and CI/CD support
How does Cake support Katib?
Cake automates the provisioning, execution, and observability of Katib tuning jobs across clouds using best-in-class open-source components, ensuring compliance and reproducibility.
What workloads benefit most from Katib?
Katib is ideal for compute-heavy model training workflows where optimizing hyperparameters can significantly improve model performance.
