Azure Machine Learning for Visual Studio Code, previously called Visual Studio Code Tools for AI, is an extension to easily build, train, and deploy machine learning models to the cloud or the edge with Azure Machine Learning service.

What it solves

It simplifies the process of building, training, and deploying machine learning models by integrating Azure Machine Learning service directly into the Visual Studio Code interface, removing the need to switch between different tools for cloud and edge deployment.

How it works

The extension connects Visual Studio Code to the Azure Machine Learning service, allowing users to leverage open-source frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch, as well as Jupyter notebooks. It enables users to experiment locally and then scale their workloads to GPU-enabled cloud clusters, while providing tools for automated machine learning and hyper-parameter tuning.

Who it’s for

Data scientists and machine learning engineers who use Visual Studio Code and want to integrate their local development environment with Azure's cloud-based ML infrastructure.

Highlights

  • Integration with TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Jupyter.
  • Ability to scale from local experimentation to GPU-enabled cloud clusters.
  • Support for automated machine learning and AutoML hyper-parameter tuning.
  • Integrated CI/CD tooling for experiment tracking and model management.

    MooreThreads/torch_musa

    torch_musa is a PyTorch extension that adds a **MUSA** backend for Moore Threads GPUs. It mirrors the standard PyTorch API, so you only replace `cuda` with `musa`. The package includes tools for building C/C++ extensions, distributed training via the **mccl** backend, and Docker images for easy setup. It also provides MUSA‑compatible builds of torchvision, torchaudio, and a curated list of other popular PyTorch libraries. Installation can be done from pre‑built wheels or by building from source after installing the MUSA SDK. The project is BSD‑licensed.
