SAS Viya is an artificial intelligence, analytics and data management platform developed by SAS Institute. [1] [2]

Contents

History

SAS Viya was released in 2016. [3] The software was containerized with the release of Viya 4 in 2020. [4]

Technical overview

The platform is cloud-native, [5] and is executed on SAS's Cloud Analytics Services (CAS) engine. It is compatible with open source software, allowing users to build models using open sources tool such as R, Python and Jupyter. [6] It integrates with major large language models like GPT-4 and Gemini Pro. [7] The platform uses econometrics to create predictive models for forecasting scenarios based on complex data. It also has features for detecting algorithmic bias, auditing decisions and monitoring models. [8]

SAS Viya has released software as a service (SaaS) modules for creating AI content. These include Viya Workbench, used for AI models, and Viya App Factory, for creating AI applications. [9] Users can develop models in Viya Workbench using either a Visual Studio Code interface or Jupyter. [10] Viya Copilot, a generative AI virtual assistant, was released in April 2024. [11]

The software is available on Amazon AWS Marketplace, [12] Google Cloud, Red Hat OpenShift, [13] and on Microsoft Azure Marketplace under a pay-as-you-use model. [14]

Applications

Healthcare

In 2023, the company introduced SAS Health, a common health data model built on the SAS Viya platform. [15] AstraZeneca has partnered with SAS to use SAS Viya and SAS Life Science Analytics Framework in its delivery and approval processes. [16]

Agriculture

In 2024, SAS partnered with North Carolina A&T State University to create a cloud platform for agricultural research based on Viya. [17]

Business

The software is also widely used in business, especially in areas such as predictive modelling and fraud detection. [18] [19]
