Best use case

mlflow is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

MLflow ML lifecycle management. Use for ML experiment tracking.

Teams using mlflow should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.

When to use this skill

You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.

When not to use this skill

You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# MLflow

MLflow is the standard for tracking experiments. v3.0 (2025) pivots to **GenAI**, adding LLM Tracing, Prompt Management, and "LLM-as-a-Judge".

## When to Use

- **Experiment Tracking**: Logging hyperparameters (`lr=0.01`) and metrics (`accuracy=0.98`).
- **GenAI Tracing**: Visualizing the full chain of a RAG application.
- **Model Registry**: Versioning models (`my-model/v3`) for deployment.

## Core Concepts

### Tracking URI

Where logs are stored (local `./mlruns` or remote `http://mlflow-server`).

### Autologging

`mlflow.autolog()` automatically captures params from Scikit-learn, PyTorch, etc.

### LLM Tracing

OpenTelemetry-based tracing to debug prompt chains.

## Best Practices (2025)

**Do**:

- **Use `mlflow.evaluate()`**: To run "LLM-as-a-Judge" metrics on your RAG pipeline.
- **Use Prompt Engineering UI**: MLflow 3.0 has a UI to iterate on prompts.

**Don't**:

- **Don't use it for data storage**: Log artifacts (models), not datasets. Log metadata about datasets instead.
