The capability gives enterprise data science teams a managed,\ndistributed Python environment for scaling AI compute and machine learning\nworkloads through parallel Python execution for data engineering, machine\nlearning, and model development.\n\nElastic Python Compute is built on Ray, a distributed computing framework, and\nintegrates natively with the Teradata Autonomous Knowledge Platform and AI\nStudio. Data scientists can parallelize model training, execute custom Python\napplications at scale, and serve high-scale ML and AI workloads without the\noverhead of manual cluster setup or managing Ray clusters. Elastic Python\nCompute supports both single-server and cluster deployments, giving\norganizations the flexibility to scale from individual workloads to\nenterprise-scale operations, with faster development cycles, stronger\ngovernance controls, and lower infrastructure costs.\n\nKeeping Data and AI Compute Within the Platform\nElastic Python Compute supports local model hosting and governance, with no\nexternal API dependencies and no token-based inference costs. AI workloads run\nentirely within the Teradata platform, including AI Studio, with no data\nmovement required. Elastic Python Compute reads and writes data directly to\nthe Teradata Database, S3 object storage, and Open Table Format catalogs, such\nas Apache Iceberg and Delta Lake, enabling data science teams to incorporate\nfiles and images for model training and scoring. Flexible cluster management,\nincluding the ability to run separate clusters for different workloads, allows\nteams to optimize cost and performance by selecting CPU or GPU compute based\non the task at hand. Massive parallel processing supports large-scale AI and\ndata workloads across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid deployments.\n\nThe platform also supports Arrow Flight SQL, enabling parallel, columnar data\ntransfer between applications and the Teradata platform at speeds up to 84x\nfaster than traditional row-based transfer methods,\n(https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4797080-1&h=591805206&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.teradata.com%2Finsights%2Fdata-architecture%2Fhow-fast-is-arrow-flight-sql-with-teradata&a=at+speeds+up+to+84x+faster+than+traditional+row-based+transfer+methods%2C)\n based on Teradata benchmark testing. *\n\nCustomer Impact\nA retail bank had been exporting tens of millions of customer records to local\nPython environments for credit feature engineering, a practice that created\ndata governance gaps and put the organization at risk of breaching data\nresidency regulations. With AI Studio's in-database analytics, credit scoring\npipelines covering payment history, utilization ratios, and delinquency flags\nnow run three times faster while remaining within the governance perimeter. A\ncomplete audit trail from raw data through feature engineering to final model\noutput allows regulators to replay any step in the process on demand.\n\nFor a major telecommunications provider, the challenge was scale. Its data\nscience team had been exporting billions of call detail records and network\ntelemetry events to external Python clusters, a slow, costly process that\ncreated data sovereignty risk. Feature engineering across call drop rates,\nsignal quality indices, and ARPU (average revenue per user) trends now runs\ndirectly inside the Teradata platform. The churn prediction model trains\nentirely within the provider's own infrastructure, satisfying both GDPR\nobligations and national data residency requirements. Feature engineering\nruntime fell from four hours to twenty minutes, and model accuracy improved by\ntwelve percent as a result of training on the full dataset rather than a\nconstrained sample.\n\nIn the public sector, a government maritime agency needed to track vessels\nswitching off their transponders to obscure their movements. Using Elastic\nPython Compute, the agency's data science team combined satellite imagery,\nradar signals, AIS data, and commercial imaging to reconstruct vessel\nmovements that would otherwise go undetected. AI-driven analytics fused these\ndiverse data sources into actionable maritime intelligence, improving\nvisibility and enabling faster, more effective responses to security threats\nat sea.\n\nExecutive Perspective\n\"Enterprise data science teams have spent years working around the fundamental\nconstraint of moving data outside their platforms to build and train AI\nmodels, accepting the governance risk and cost that comes with it. Elastic\nPython Compute removes that constraint. Teams can now run distributed AI\nworkloads at scale where their data already lives, and get to production\nfaster without compromising on governance or cost control.\"\n— Sumeet Arora, Chief Product Officer, Teradata\n\nAvailability\nElastic Python Compute is generally available within AI Studio on AWS and\nMicrosoft Azure. Availability on Google Cloud is expected in Q4 2026, with\non-premises available now with Teradata Factory.\n\n* Performance results may vary. Benchmarks were conducted in a specific test\nenvironment and may not reflect results in your infrastructure.\n\nAbout Teradata\nTeradata empowers enterprises to turn intelligence into autonomous action,\ngrounding AI agents in deep business context and trusted data. As AI agents\nmultiply, Teradata is the context foundation, governance layer, and\nperformance backbone that companies need now.
