Databricks Runtime 6.5 for ML (EoS)

Note

Support for this Databricks Runtime version has ended. For the end-of-support date, see End-of-support history. For all supported Databricks Runtime versions, see Databricks Runtime release notes versions and compatibility.

Databricks released this version in April 2020.

Databricks Runtime 6.5 for Machine Learning provides a ready-to-go environment for machine learning and data science based on Databricks Runtime 6.5 (EoS). Databricks Runtime ML contains many popular machine learning libraries, including TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras, and XGBoost. It also supports distributed deep learning training using Horovod.

For more information, including instructions for creating a Databricks Runtime ML cluster, see AI and machine learning on Databricks.

New features

Databricks Runtime 6.5 ML is built on top of Databricks Runtime 6.5. For information on what’s new in Databricks Runtime 6.5, see the Databricks Runtime 6.5 (EoS) release notes.

Improvements

Upgraded machine learning libraries

mlflow (Python): 1.5.0 to 1.7.0. See MLflow release notes.
