AMPL is designed to make mathematical optimization modeling intuitive and powerful. With its natural algebraic syntax, seamless separation of model and data, and solver flexibility, AMPL allows modelers to focus on defining and refining their optimization problems without the distractions of low-level programming. Whether you’re tackling linear, nonlinear, or integer optimization, AMPL gives you the tools to write models naturally, test and iterate efficiently, and solve with the best solvers available.

Models
AMPL's modeling system is used extensively in finance, energy, supply chain optimization and more.
Extensive integrations allow for a complete, one-stop-shop optimization platform.
Thousands of modelers choose AMPL for complex projects where tasks are critical and must be modeled to reflect the real-world problem while maintaining reliability.
Unlike general-purpose programming languages, AMPL is designed specifically for optimization modeling—providing an environment where you can write constraints, objectives, and variables in a way that mirrors standard mathematical notation.
AMPL is trusted across industries like supply chain, energy, finance, and logistics, where modelers need precision, flexibility, and speed.
A well-structured model is only as powerful as the data behind it. AMPL allows modelers to effortlessly integrate real-world data into their optimization problems.
By decoupling the model from data sources, AMPL allows for better organization, easier testing, and seamless real-world implementation.
AMPL is solver-agnostic, meaning you can switch between leading commercial and open-source solvers without needing to rewrite your model.
This level of flexibility allows modelers to focus on problem-solving rather than solver-specific code.
Model development is an iterative process. AMPL provides built-in tools to help modelers test, debug, and refine their models more efficiently.
This means less time spent on debugging and more time focusing on finding optimal solutions.
AMPL gives you the flexibility to model and solve your problems wherever you work best.
With both local and cloud options, AMPL allows modelers to scale their solutions based on their needs.
