Looking for an open source, CLI plotting tool that works with arbitrary JSON formats? Look no further >> hubs.la/Q02kn4Qj0
If you’re using OR-Tools, VROOM, Nextroute, or any optimization tool that can produce a JSON output, you can quickly plot your routes with Nextplot.
🎉 We’re live on Product Hunt!
We’re incredibly proud of the entire team for the work they’ve done to create and launch the Nextmv platform.
The OR community is near and dear to us.
Head over to the launch and let us know what you think! >> producthunt.com/posts/nextmv…
🎉 We’re thrilled to release v1.0 of the Nextmv platform!
This release brings all the tooling together – for development, testing, deployment, and operation – to accelerate decision model development.

How do you support sustainable and resilient city design in the face of climate change? One way: optimize urban delivery #logistics by starting with dispatch apps for eco-friendly operators. The @kale__co co-founders explain: hubs.ly/Q024j-Z60#orms#cargobikes#ML#AI
🎉Our integration with Google OR-Tools is here – and we can’t wait for you to try it! Bring your OR-Tools model and launch it in minutes.
✅Deploy remotely
✅Run experiments
✅Manage model versions
✅Collaborate
Take it for a spin 😀

Shadow testing is a useful way to de-risk decision algorithm rollout and build confidence in deploying changes to production systems. We take a look at the what, why, when, and how: hubs.ly/Q01-jqR40#orms#foodtech#datascience#decisionops
"Troubleshooting without testing is complicated. These are plans that drive real-world activities with real people involved...It's hard to have confidence in your outcomes if you don't have testing in place." --> youtu.be/ffS4MTKxZwM#datascience#foodtech#foodlogistics
Here's to avoiding melted ice cream with acceptance testing...Nice post from @tiffbogich that's giving more shape to the universe of decision model testing. I'm looking forward to the follow-on posts around scenario testing, benchmarking, shadow testing, etc.
Are you a fan of @HiGHSOpt like we are? See how to take a locally developed MIP model and deploy it to the cloud in minutes. Watch now >> hubs.ly/Q01NdpQx0#modelops#orms#optimization
Running experiments to compare two decision models in the Nextmv console is a super slick experience. It's neat to watch this framework continue to evolve and grow.
Switchback testing, shadow testing, scenario testing, acceptance testing — the universe of optimization model testing can feel unwieldy. @cmoon6 details a framework for model testing and how to approach it: hubs.ly/Q01MJ6F10#orms#modelops#INFORMS#datascience
Props to @cmoon6@tiffbogich@ryanjoneil (and Joe!) for some great presentations and demos. Very cool to see the new model testing/experimentation features at work on the farm share delivery problem. May your solutions be ever improving 🖖.
Late-night pizza, craft kombucha, farm fresh blueberries, frozen popsicles: see how to automate and optimize their delivery with a custom decision model that we’ll build, test, and deploy in under 30 minutes: hubs.ly/Q01H225B0#foodlogistics#decisionops#modelops#orms
Build a custom package delivery model (step-by-step) with Joe, our Solutions Engineer! In under 30 minutes, he’ll show you how to create custom constraints, discuss optimization goals, and answer your questions live. Join us March 1: hubs.ly/Q01D0s6f0#routeoptimization
I recorded a fun video for my coworkers at @getnextmv the other day experimenting with Github Copilot🤖 to solve a knapsack problem using integer programming. It was pretty mind blowing🤯. Anyone else using Copilot for operations research work? youtu.be/bqdJhJ12PT4#orms
A @ryanjoneil presentation is always worth carving out 30 minutes for. He's great at balancing technical deep dive with approachable applications and storytelling.
