Overview: What is PhariaOS?

What is PhariaOS?

PhariaOS is the core operating system of the PhariaAI stack. It manages access to AI resources, such as models and infrastructure. This component enables IT administrators and operations engineers to monitor PhariaAI, providing them with insight into the health of the PhariaAI installation and the resources available.

The PhariaOS API is a powerful resource management system that oversees the entire lifecycle of resources, from inception to maintenance, while efficiently integrating them with PhariaOS.
