Cloudera AI (formerly Verta)
Verta was an operational AI platform for model management, serving, and governance. Cloudera acquired Verta in June 2024, and verta.ai now redirects to Cloudera AI, the company's enterprise machine learning and generative AI platform.
Cloudera AI covers the full AI lifecycle on hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructure. It includes AI Workbench for collaborative development, AI Inference for deploying LLMs and agents, AI Studios for low-code GenAI apps, and AI Assistants for traceable enterprise chatbots. Verta's GenAI workbench, model catalog, and governance tools now power these capabilities.
The platform targets enterprise teams building RAG chatbots, fine-tuned domain LLMs, synthetic data pipelines, and multi-agent workflows. Pricing is consumption-based through Cloudera Compute Units on cloud or annual subscriptions on premises.
