Reviewer scorecard
“If you need distributed AI compute, Ray + Anyscale is the standard. Training and serving at any scale.”
“Docker is infrastructure. Every modern deployment pipeline uses it. The AI features in Docker Desktop are helpful for debugging but the core value is containerization itself.”
“Most teams don't need distributed compute. Cloud provider GPU instances handle 90% of fine-tuning needs.”
“Docker Desktop on Mac still uses too much memory. But Docker itself is essential. Podman is a lighter alternative if Desktop bloat bothers you.”
“Ray is becoming the distributed computing standard for AI. Anyscale manages the hard parts.”
“Containers are the universal packaging format for software. AI agents, ML models, microservices — everything ships in containers. Docker is infrastructure.”
