Can I compare experiments?

Yes, select multiple experiments and click "Compare" to view side-by-side metrics and configurations.

Models

How do I version my models?

Use semantic versioning (e.g., 1.0.0) when registering models. Each version is tracked separately.

What model formats are supported?

• PyTorch (.pt, .pth)

• TensorFlow (SavedModel, .h5)

• ONNX (.onnx)

• Scikit-learn (pickle)

• Custom formats

Can I deploy models to production?

Yes, use the Deployments feature to deploy models with auto-scaling and monitoring.

Datasets

What's the maximum dataset size?

This depends on your storage quota. Contact your administrator for limits.

Can I use external storage?

Yes, Kaisar AI Ops supports S3, GCS, and Azure Blob Storage.

How do I version datasets?

Create a new version when uploading updated data. Link experiments to specific dataset versions for reproducibility.

Deployments

How do I deploy a model?

1. Register your model

2. Navigate to Deployments

3. Click "Create Deployment"

4. Select your model and configure resources

5. Click "Deploy"

Can deployments auto-scale?

Yes, configure auto-scaling based on CPU usage, request rate, or custom metrics.

How do I monitor deployments?

View real-time metrics in the Deployments section, including request rate, latency, and error rate.

Security & Access

How is authentication handled?

Kaisar AI Ops uses a centralized Identity Provider for authentication, supporting SSO, SAML, and OAuth.

Can I use SSO?

Yes, if configured by your administrator.

How do I create API tokens?

Navigate to Profile → API Tokens → Create Token.

Are API tokens secure?

Yes, but you should:

• Never commit tokens to version control

• Rotate tokens regularly

• Use minimum required permissions

• Store tokens securely

Billing & Usage

How am I charged?

Charges typically include:

• Compute hours (GPU/CPU)

• Storage (datasets, models, logs)

• API requests

• Data transfer

Contact your administrator for specific pricing.

How do I monitor usage?

Navigate to Admin → Billing & Usage to view current usage and costs.

Can I set budget alerts?

Yes, administrators can configure budget alerts and quotas.

API & Integration

Is there an API?

Yes, a comprehensive REST API is available. See the API Reference.

Are there SDKs?

Yes, Python and JavaScript/TypeScript SDKs are available.

Can I integrate with CI/CD?

Yes, Kaisar AI Ops supports webhooks and integrations with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Jenkins.

Can I export data?

Yes, you can export experiments, models, and datasets via the UI or API.

Troubleshooting

My experiment is stuck in "pending"

Check:

• Resource quotas

• Cluster capacity

• Experiment configuration

• Logs for errors

I can't access a resource

Verify:

• Your permissions

• Resource sharing settings

• Organization membership

API requests are failing

Check:

• Token validity

• Token permissions

• Rate limits

• Request format

Dashboard is slow

Try:

• Clearing browser cache

• Reducing displayed items

• Using a different browser

• Checking internet connection
