The last AI/ML model registry you’ll ever need: It’s already in your hands

Model registries promise better versioning, governance, and reproducibility for AI/ML workflows. But do you really need to stand up yet another tool? In this talk, we unveil KitOps, a CNCF-hosted open source project that turns your existing OCI registry into a secure, production-grade model registry. No new infrastructure. No proprietary lock-in. Just OCI-native artifacts—ModelKits—that bring structure, security, and traceability to your AI/ML artifacts. ModelKits aren’t rebranded containers; they redefine how AI/ML models are managed across environments. Combined with the Kit CLI, you’ll see how to package, sign, inspect, and deploy models using the same tools and registries you already trust. If your platform team is tired of reinventing the wheel to support AI, KitOps shows how to simplify complexity—using the cloud-native building blocks you already have.
