description: 'Seldon is a Kubernetes-native MLOps platform that enables enterprises to deploy, monitor, manage, and explain
  machine learning models at scale. The platform provides REST and gRPC inference APIs that follow the Open Inference Protocol,
  enabling standardized model serving across frameworks including TensorFlow, PyTorch, and scikit-learn. Seldon Core 2 supports
  advanced deployment strategies such as A/B testing, canary rollouts, and shadow deployments through its Kubernetes-native
  architecture. The Seldon Enterprise Platform extends the open source core with a comprehensive REST API for managing deployments
  programmatically, including model drift detection via Alibi-Detect and explainability via the Alibi library. Seldon Deploy
  SDK provides a Python client for integrating with the platform API using OIDC and session-based authentication workflows.

  description: 'The Seldon Inference API provides REST and gRPC endpoints for serving machine learning model predictions at
    scale. Following the Open Inference Protocol (V2), the API exposes standardized endpoints for model health checks, metadata
    queries, and prediction requests. Deployed models are accessible via REST at /seldon/{namespace}/{deployment}/api/v1.0/predictions
    and support multiple ML frameworks through pre-packaged inference servers.

  description: 'Seldon integrates Alibi-Detect drift detection models that can be deployed as standard Seldon models, providing
    REST endpoints for monitoring incoming request distribution against reference training data distributions. Drift detectors
    are configured and managed via the Seldon Core 2 deployment API and expose detection results through standard inference
