Overview

H2O‑3 is the open-source core platform from H2O.ai, built for distributed, in-memory machine learning at scale. Designed for flexibility and high performance, it empowers data scientists and engineers to create advanced models such as generalized linear models (GLMs), gradient boosting machines (GBMs), random forests, deep learning, and more. H2O‑3 supports a unified API across multiple languages including Python, R, Java, and Scala, along with a web-based user interface called Flow for interactive workflows. Its architecture enables execution on a single machine or across clustered environments, making it ideal for both rapid prototyping and production-scale deployments. Known for its speed, transparent model interpretability, and seamless integration into modern data ecosystems, H2O‑3 is widely used across industries for predictive analytics, machine learning experimentation, and real-time scoring.

Features and Capabilities
