Experience the All-New Python Ecosystem for Large-Scale Optimization
Natural mathematical modeling syntax + natural python integration.
Integrate with amplpy
Collaborate with teams
AMPL Model Colaboratory is a collection of AMPL models in Jupyter Notebooks that run on platforms such as Google Colab, Kaggle, Gradient, and AWS SageMaker.
Bring optimization to your courses easily with models on Google Colab, or a free, easily distributed AMPL for Courses license.
Deploy to your larger applications
Deployment is easy with solvers now available as python packages. Deploy in the cloud using Docker containers, or with options such as cloud functions (e.g. AWS Lambda and Azure Functions)
Experience our Python API amplpy
Performance of heavily optimized C code without losing model readability
The amplpy interface allows developers to access the features of AMPL from within Python. With amplpy you can model and solve large-scale optimization problems in Python leveraging the performance of heavily optimized C code without losing model readability.
Natural integration
In the same way that AMPL’s syntax matches naturally the mathematical description of the model, the input and output data matches naturally Python lists, sets, dictionaries, pandas and numpy objects.
Access solvers directly through AMPL
All model generation and solver interaction is handled directly by AMPL, which leads to great stability and speed; the library just acts as an intermediary, and the added overhead (in terms of memory and CPU usage) depends mostly on how much data is sent and read back from AMPL, the size of the expanded model as such is irrelevant.
Solve and switch with ease
All AMPL commercial and open-source solvers are available as Python Packages
Now available as Python Packages for Windows, Linux, and macOS. Easy to install in just a few lines of code.
# Install Python API for AMPL
$ python -m pip install amplpy --upgrade
# Install HiGHS and Gurobi (AMPL is installed automatically with any solver)
$ python -m amplpy.modules install highs gurobi
# Activate your license (e.g., free https://ampl.com/ce license)
$ python -m amplpy.modules activate <license-uuid>
# Confirm that the license is active
$ python -m amplpy.modules run ampl -vvq
# Import in Python
$ python
>>> from amplpy import AMPL
>>> ampl = AMPL() # instantiate AMPL object
Collaborate with teams
Collaborate and model for free on Google Colab
AMPL is free on Colab!
AMPL on Google Colab is enabled with a default Community Edition license to allow freedom to model without limitations on variables or constraints. Model with open-source solvers or activate you own Community Edition license for commercial solver trials.
Connect data with ease
Load data directly from python data structures using amplpy
Access the best solvers with simple switchability
Solve with commercial and open-source solvers and retrieve your solution. Switch out solvers in one line of code and solver again for a new solution.
More ways to collaborate
Build and share data apps quickly with Streamlit – no front-end experience necessary.
Not just for Google Colab, our collection of AMPL models in Jypyter Notebooks run in Kaggle, Gradient, and AWS Sagemaker.
