Anaconda Inc., widely recognized for driving open-source innovation in AI, has introduced AI Catalyst, a new enterprise-grade AI development suite built into the Anaconda Platform and powered by AWS. With this launch, Anaconda aims to give organizations an end-to-end ecosystem to seamlessly build, deploy, and govern AI applications at scale. Since the suite is now available to AWS customers, enterprises can immediately tap into a transparent, governed, and fully optimized AI environment.
To begin with, AI Catalyst arrives with a curated catalog of secure and vetted AI models. This model library enables organizations to discover, test, compare, and deploy models in their own protected environments. As a result, businesses can minimize unknown risks while also improving governance, compliance, and cost efficiency.

Today, most modern software depends heavily on open-source components. However, as open-source innovation accelerates, enterprises continue to grapple with strict security and compliance requirements. Developers often want to adopt new tools rapidly, yet lengthy legal and security reviews delay progress. Even after approvals, challenges such as licensing conflicts, performance gaps, or emerging vulnerabilities often surface. Consequently, development teams lose valuable time managing infrastructure, conducting manual reviews, and resolving security concerns all of which slow AI deployment cycles from weeks to months.
AI Catalyst directly addresses these roadblocks. It equips enterprises with curated open-source models supported by a detailed AI Bill of Materials and complete risk profiles. Moreover, its controlled inference stack helps reduce external vulnerabilities, while dynamic evaluations proactively identify risks such as prompt-injection attacks. Since the models support local, cloud, or production deployments and can run on CPUs or GPUs, developers gain the flexibility to work within their organization’s secure environment without compromise. Because the models are already benchmarked and optimized for enterprise workloads, teams can accelerate the transition from prototype to production dramatically.
According to Laura Sellers, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Anaconda, “Enterprises don’t want just AI models – they want an end-to-end platform where they can confidently build, deploy, and govern AI applications. With AI Catalyst, we’re committed to setting a new standard for enterprise AI development by bringing Anaconda’s curated, secure open-source ecosystem together with the scale and governance of our customer’s own Amazon VPC. This is designed to eliminate weeks of manual model evaluation and dependency management, helping to ensure consistent security from experimentation through production and empowering teams to turn open source models into breakthrough AI applications and business outcomes faster.”

Furthermore, AI Catalyst introduces several enterprise-focused advantages, including bottom-up security, customized governance policies, comprehensive AI transparency, cost-efficient performance through quantized models, and flexible deployment options across on-prem, cloud, and local environments.
In addition to this suite, Anaconda also rolled out two more capabilities within its Platform. Through Amazon Virtual Private Cloud, enterprises can now adopt a fully self-hosted version of the Anaconda Platform inside their own secure AWS environments. Anaconda also launched unified search and expanded model access options to simplify discovery and streamline developer workflows.
Dr. Iman Karimi, Global Head of Data Science at Sutherland Global, highlighted the impact of Anaconda’s platform, stating, “At Sutherland Global, we’re transforming how we serve clients across financial services, healthcare, and telecommunications by integrating AI into our operations. Anaconda gives our data teams a trusted foundation to develop and deploy AI responsibly. We get the speed and flexibility to innovate while maintaining the enterprise security our business demands, allowing us to move confidently from experimentation to production.”
