MLFlow Integration¶
OpenTrace v0.2 introduces seamless MLFlow integration, enabling comprehensive experiment tracking, model management, and deployment workflows for your AI optimization projects.
🎯 Overview¶
MLFlow integration provides: - Experiment Tracking: Automatic logging of optimization runs and metrics - Model Registry: Version control and management for optimized agents - Deployment: Easy deployment of optimized models to production - Visualization: Rich dashboards and comparative analysis
🚀 Key Features¶
Automatic Experiment Logging¶
OpenTrace automatically logs optimization experiments to MLFlow:
import opto
import mlflow
# Enable MLFlow integration
opto.mlflow.enable_autolog()
@opto.trace.optimize(strategy="beam_search", max_iterations=10)
def optimized_agent(query: str) -> str:
    # Your agent implementation
    response = llm.complete(query)
    return response
# Optimization automatically logged to MLFlow
result = optimized_agent.optimize(train_data)
# View in MLFlow UI: mlflow ui
Custom Metrics Tracking¶
Log custom metrics and parameters:
import opto.mlflow as opto_mlflow
@opto.trace
def my_agent(query: str) -> str:
    with opto_mlflow.start_run():
        # Log parameters
        opto_mlflow.log_param("model", "gpt-4")
        opto_mlflow.log_param("temperature", 0.7)
        response = llm.complete(query, temperature=0.7)
        # Log metrics
        opto_mlflow.log_metric("response_length", len(response))
        opto_mlflow.log_metric("cost", calculate_cost(response))
        return response
Model Registry Integration¶
Register and manage optimized models:
from opto.mlflow import ModelRegistry
# Train and optimize your agent
trainer = opto.Trainer(
    algorithm=BeamSearchAlgorithm(),
    evaluator=your_evaluator
)
optimized_agent = trainer.fit(training_data)
# Register the optimized model
registry = ModelRegistry()
model_version = registry.register_model(
    name="optimized-qa-agent",
    model=optimized_agent,
    description="Optimized Q&A agent with beam search",
    tags={"version": "v0.2", "algorithm": "beam_search"}
)
print(f"Model registered as version {model_version}")
📊 Experiment Tracking¶
Automatic Logging¶
OpenTrace automatically tracks key optimization metrics:
# This code automatically logs to MLFlow:
@opto.trace.optimize(
    strategy="adaptive",
    max_iterations=50,
    mlflow_experiment="agent-optimization"
)
def research_agent(query: str) -> str:
    # Automatically logged:
    # - Iteration number
    # - Parameter values
    # - Performance scores
    # - Execution time
    # - Resource usage
    return process_research_query(query)
Custom Experiment Configuration¶
import mlflow
import opto
# Set up custom MLFlow experiment
mlflow.set_experiment("advanced-agent-optimization")
with opto.mlflow.experiment_context("custom-run-name"):
    # Configure logging
    opto.mlflow.configure({
        "log_model_checkpoints": True,
        "log_optimization_trace": True,
        "log_performance_metrics": True,
        "artifact_location": "s3://my-bucket/experiments"
    })
    # Run optimization
    result = optimize_agent(training_data)
Comparative Analysis¶
# Compare multiple optimization runs
experiments = [
    {"name": "beam_search", "strategy": "beam_search", "beam_size": 5},
    {"name": "ucb_search", "strategy": "ucb", "confidence": 0.95},
    {"name": "random_search", "strategy": "random", "samples": 100}
]
results = {}
for exp in experiments:
    with opto.mlflow.start_run(run_name=exp["name"]):
        # Log experiment parameters
        opto.mlflow.log_params(exp)
        # Run optimization
        result = optimize_agent(strategy=exp["strategy"])
        results[exp["name"]] = result
        # Log results
        opto.mlflow.log_metric("final_score", result.best_score)
        opto.mlflow.log_metric("iterations", result.iterations)
# View comparison in MLFlow UI

    output_location="s3://your-bucket/predictions/",
    instance_count=5
)
# Monitor job progress
while not batch_job.is_complete():
    print(f"Job status: {batch_job.status}")
    time.sleep(30)
print(f"Predictions saved to: {batch_job.output_location}")
📈 Monitoring and Alerting¶
Performance Monitoring¶

    threshold=0.85,
    condition="less_than",
    action="email",
    recipients=["team@company.com"]
)
monitor.add_alert(
    metric="response_time",
    threshold=2000,  # milliseconds
    condition="greater_than",
    action="slack",
    webhook_url="https://hooks.slack.com/your-webhook"
)
# Start monitoring
monitor.start()
A/B Testing¶
from opto.mlflow import ABTest
# Set up A/B test between model versions
ab_test = ABTest(
    name="agent-optimization-test",
    model_a={"name": "optimized-qa-agent", "version": "v1.0"},
    model_b={"name": "optimized-qa-agent", "version": "v2.0"},
    traffic_split=0.5,  # 50/50 split
    success_metric="user_satisfaction"
)
# Deploy A/B test
ab_test.deploy()
# Monitor results
results = ab_test.get_results()
if results.statistical_significance > 0.95:
    winner = results.winning_model
    print(f"Winner: {winner} with {results.improvement:.2%} improvement")
🔍 MLFlow UI Integration¶
Custom Dashboard Views¶
# Create custom MLFlow dashboard
from opto.mlflow import Dashboard
dashboard = Dashboard("Agent Optimization Dashboard")
# Add custom charts
dashboard.add_chart(
    type="line_chart",
    title="Optimization Progress",
    x_axis="iteration",
    y_axis="score",
    experiments=["beam_search", "ucb_search"]
)
dashboard.add_chart(

from opto.mlflow import ExperimentExporter
exporter = ExperimentExporter()
# Export to various formats
exporter.to_csv("experiment_results.csv")
exporter.to_json("experiment_results.json")
exporter.to_pdf("experiment_report.pdf")
# Generate automated reports
report = exporter.generate_report(
    template="optimization_summary",
    experiments=["beam_search", "ucb_search", "random_search"]
)
🎯 Best Practices¶
- Organize Experiments: Use meaningful experiment names and tags
- Version Everything: Track code, data, and model versions
- Document Thoroughly: Add descriptions and metadata to runs
- Monitor Performance: Set up alerts for production models
- Clean Up: Regularly archive old experiments and models
