Code Example
import mlflow
# Register model
mlflow.sklearn.log_model(
model,
"churn-predictor",
registered_model_name="production-churn"
)
# Get latest version
model = mlflow.sklearn.load_model(
"models:/production-churn/latest"
)
# Compare versions
compare = mlflow.registered_model.get_model_version_benchmark(
"production-churn"
)
