New GAMS decision apps on the Nextmv Marketplace

Explore customizable GAMS decision models using starter applications on Nextmv, a collaborative DecisionOps platform for streamlined testing, deployment, and management. Run your GAMS decision apps remotely with an API, answer what-if questions, and easily access run input and logs.

A 2024 lookback and 2025 preview of DecisionOps workflows

2024 was the year of the Python modeling experience, optimization integrations, and helping modelers find solutions even faster with parallel runs and interactive visualizations. In 2025, we look forward to combining ML & OR, more data integrations, and decision pipelines for smoother operations.

In conversation with Meinolf Sellmann, creator of Seeker

Increasingly, OR practitioners are seeking to incorporate more real-world uncertainty into decision models instead of only relying on deterministic optimization approaches. In this interview, we’ll explore this topic through the lens of Seeker, a new stochastic optimization solver.

Prototype your decision model and build advocacy for OR at your organization

Whether you’ve already built a decision model or are just getting started, developing your optimization project on the Nextmv platform will give you the framework, testing tools, and ease of integration required to prove the value of your decision model.
