spaCy creator Ines Montani launches Ellf: a hybrid architecture that keeps your data on your own compute

- Ines Montani (Explosion/spaCy) introduces Ellf, a hybrid-architecture tool: the app is hosted, but users plug in their own data-private cluster (auto-provisioned on their cloud account or local machine), similar to self-hosted CI runners. Data, models, and code never pass through Ellf's servers.
- Python-scriptable platform: Ellf auto-generates web forms and CLIs for workflows. Example flow: have Claude Code write a data-processing script with type hints, upload it to your cluster, and it's live and configurable via a web form — or let Claude run it for you.
- She notes coding assistants made the complex architecture easy to build, and non-infra users got running almost immediately.
