McKinsey launches an open-source ecosystem for digital and AI projects
September 26, 2023Today, we are pleased to announce the launch of a McKinsey open-source ecosystem that will host products from across the firm, including some of our leading-edge technologies and IP in AI including generative AI, digital, and cloud.
The first major release in our collection is Vizro, a new component from our QuantumBlack Horizon suite, which helps users visualize data from their AI models.
In addition to Vizro, the new ecosystem will host CausalNex, a tool for building cause-and-effect models that has been available to the public since 2020 through QuantumBlack Labs’ GitHub organization.
“Open source has become a foundational element of how we deliver organizational transformation for our clients globally, because it enables technologists to adapt our methodologies and toolkits to meet their distinct needs,” explains Alexander Sukharevsky, a senior partner and global leader of QuantumBlack, AI by McKinsey. “It is also our way to contribute to sustainable and inclusive growth and narrow the digital divide.”
The open-source ecosystem can be accessed at GitHub.
This milestone builds on our open-source momentum. In 2022 we released Kedro, a Python toolbox that streamlines the creation of machine-learning pipelines, to the Linux Foundation’s AI & Data incubator so it could evolve as an open standard. Early this year, we acquired Iguazio, whose open-source projects Nuclio and MLRun are integral to their strategy.
“We are on a journey to be known for our technology capabilities as much as our strategic advice,” says Rodney Zemmel, a senior partner and global leader of McKinsey Digital. “This new ecosystem illustrates the firm’s belief and investment in open-source standards and gives all of our 6000+ technologists the opportunity to contribute their expertise and help clients gain the most value from their technology investments.”
