I’m running on prem instances of Watson and it’s far from vaporware but Watson has become more of a brand name. For the Watson product I use, It’s more of a wrapper to do AI and ML work, notebooks, containers and related tools for data science.
Same here. And so far I have to say I'm quite happy with it. Is it the best tool for ML? Probably not. But it's certainly the easiest I've found so far and it works for what I'm using it for.
