Powered By Apache Mahout

Apache Mahout has powered recommendation, clustering, and classification systems at scale for more than a decade. Today the project builds Qumat, a Python library for writing quantum circuits once and running them on Qiskit, Cirq, or Amazon Braket, and QDP, a GPU-accelerated engine for encoding classical data into quantum states.

See how companies, developers, and researchers have built with Mahout, and add your own story. Entries are listed alphabetically within each section.
