About us

ArviZ is an open source project aiming to provide tools for Exploratory Analysis of Bayesian Models that do not depend on the inference library used. ArviZ brings together people from several probabilistic programming libraries and from multiple programming languages. ArviZ will always be free for everyone to use and released under the Apache License (Version 2.0).

ArviZ is developed in the open on GitHub with the input of the whole community and consensus of its core contributors. For more information about our governance approach, read our Governance Document.

Our team

ArviZ is maintained and governed by an international group of core contributors, as defined by our governance. You can see our current team in the cards below, as well as in our governance doc.

ArviZ for enterprise

ArviZ is now available as part of the Tidelift Subscription!

Tidelift is working with ArviZ and the maintainers of thousands of other open source projects to deliver commercial support and maintenance for the open source dependencies you use to build your applications. Save time, reduce risk, and improve code health, while contributing financially to ArviZ.

Enterprise-ready open source software — managed for you

The Tidelift Subscription is a managed open source subscription for application dependencies covering millions of open source projects across JavaScript, Python, Java, PHP, Ruby, .NET, and more. And now, your favorite probabilistic programming language is included in the Tidelift subscription!

Your subscription includes:

  • Security updates: Tidelift’s security response team coordinates patches for new breaking security vulnerabilities and alerts immediately through a private channel, so your software supply chain is always secure.

  • Licensing verification and indemnification: Tidelift verifies license information to enable easy policy enforcement and adds intellectual property indemnification to cover creators and users in case something goes wrong. You always have a 100% up-to-date bill of materials for your dependencies to share with your legal team, customers, or partners.

  • Maintenance and code improvement: Tidelift ensures the software you rely on keeps working as long as you need it to work. Your managed dependencies are actively maintained and Tidelift recruits additional maintainers where required.

  • Package selection and version guidance: Tidelift helps you choose the best open source packages from the start—and then guides you through updates to stay on the best releases as new issues arise.

  • Roadmap input: Take a seat at the table with the creators behind the software you use. ArviZ core contributors and other Tidelift’s participating maintainers earn more income as our software is used by more subscribers, so we’re interested in knowing what you need.

  • Tooling and cloud integration: Tidelift works with GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket, and more. It supports every cloud platform (and other deployment targets, too).

The end result? All of the capabilities you expect from commercial-grade software, for the full breadth of open source you use. That means less time grappling with esoteric open source trivia, and more time building your own applications — and your business.
