Trusted AI Delivery: Introducing the JFrog AI Catalog

The rapid pace of AI innovation is driving new possibilities for every organization. Yet, for many, the journey from inception to reliable, production-ready AI applications is riddled with hidden challenges: proliferation of models, security blind spots, and a desperate need for consistent governance. You want to harness the power of AI, but not at the expense of control, security, or compliance.

That's precisely why JFrog is excited to announce the JFrog AI Catalog, a unified hub for discovering, governing, and serving your AI and ML models across the entire organization. We're launching this new offering in close collaboration with key partners like NVIDIA, whose industry-leading technologies are powering the next generation of AI applications. The new AI Catalog enables organizations to securely integrate AI into their software pipelines while maintaining full visibility, control, and compliance, transforming fragmented AI operations into a seamless, secure, and highly efficient workflow.

The Fragmented Reality of AI Adoption

For too long, DevOps and Security teams have been left to govern in chaos, struggling with a lack of clear visibility into model usage and deployments, and an inability to manage, control, and protect their organizational AI ecosystem. Meanwhile, AI/ML teams have been innovating in quicksand - they're eager to build and use models but often face inefficient model discovery, reduced productivity due to scattered models, and friction-filled paths to production.

The current reality is a fragmented AI ecosystem where models are scattered across environments, repositories, and artifacts, operational overhead is high, and a unified system of record for AI simply doesn't exist. This leads to significant misuse and compliance risks.

The JFrog AI Catalog - Your Unified AI System of Record

The JFrog AI Catalog is purpose-built to address these challenges, acting as your organization's definitive AI System of Record. It brings AI models into the same trusted, secure software supply chain you already rely on with JFrog, offering unparalleled visibility, control, and a streamlined path to development and production.

The AI Catalog provides a unified hub for all AI models so companies can build AI-enabled applications smarter, faster, and more securely than ever, while remaining compliant with today's rapidly evolving regulatory requirements.

Centralize Control for Secure and Compliant AI

The AI Catalog extends JFrog's security and governance framework to your entire AI model supply chain for end-to-end control.

• Achieve centralized governance over model utilization and consumption, gaining clear visibility and control over AI model access and usage with precise policies and permission controls.
• Enforce granular security policies through proactive scanning for malicious code, vulnerabilities, and compliance gaps within models. This ensures your models are protected from threats throughout their lifecycle.
• Define policies for automated enforcement to proactively block unapproved, malicious, or non-compliant models directly at the gate, ensuring a secure AI Model Supply Chain.

Fuel Innovation with Simple Access

Imagine a single, consolidated hub where your AI engineers can effortlessly discover, evaluate, and utilize the right models - whether they're commercial, open-source, or internally-developed. The AI Catalog provides:

• A central repository for all AI model types, including external APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Amazon, Google, and others), open-source models, and your proprietary custom models.
• Robust search and exploration of models using comprehensive tags, projects, and use cases, complete with detailed model cards and metadata. This dramatically reduces the friction of model discovery and increases productivity and collaboration.

Connect or Deploy With One-Click

Moving models from experimentation to production often introduces significant friction. The AI Catalog simplifies this last mile:

• Accelerate the delivery of your AI applications with one-click deployment for your custom and open-source models, including upcoming support for NVIDIA NIM.
• Securely connect to external model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Amazon, Google, and others).
• Monitor deployments and usage patterns, establishing a consolidated live view of all AI model deployments.

Trusted AI, From Inception to Production

The JFrog AI Catalog is more than just a model library; it's a strategic extension of your secure software supply chain into the rapidly evolving world of AI. By providing a unified hub for discovery, access and governance, the AI Catalog serves as the most natural starting point for any organization adopting AI.

But the AI Catalog is just the beginning. It is the cornerstone for leveraging the full power of JFrog's platform for the entire model development lifecycle. Once you have a governed and trusted catalog, you can enjoy an effortless and rapid model development experience that streamlines the entire lifecycle from training to deployment, enabling an accelerated path to production.

AI Catalog is not just a solution for today's problems of model sprawl and governance. It's the first step toward a future-proof AI strategy, providing the solid foundation you need to build, manage, and scale all your AI initiatives securely and with confidence. Learn more and get started today!
