## Resource

Julien Launay launched Adaptive to give data science teams in business enterprises their “RLOps tooling” to make reinforcement learning easier. Talking to Jon Krohn, Julien says, “Most of our users are data scientists who write Python codes to interface with the system”. Adaptive is also able to work with companies without data science teams, collaborating with partners like Deloitte to add the necessary personnel. Julien is currently working on making his platform more widely available. Additional materials: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.superdatascience.com/913⁠⁠⁠ Interested in sponsoring a SuperDataScience Podcast episode?
