Lore is a Python machine learning framework from Instacart designed to make ML approachable for software engineers and maintainable for ML researchers, integrating with tools like TensorFlow and Airflow. It was deprecated at Instacart in April 2022 and is no longer supported.

Use cases

  • build and train machine learning models with a structured framework
  • manage ML experiments and hyperparameter searches
  • orchestrate data science pipelines with airflow integration
  • standardize ML project structure for engineering teams
  • deploy trained models into production pipelines

When to choose

  • you are maintaining an existing legacy Lore-based project
  • you need a historical reference for ML framework design

When to avoid

  • starting any new machine learning project
  • you need active community support or updates
  • you want modern MLOps tooling
