AI Development with Parallels Desktop

For those beginning their path as developers of AI software, Parallels offers a pre-configured Linux-based virtual machine jam-packed with a diverse collection of third-party tools, and code examples to help you integrate third-party AI models into your projects.

This comprehensive toolkit for computer vision, scientific computing, machine learning, audio processing, image processing, and more equips you to build, analyze, and innovate across a broad spectrum of AI-driven applications.

A dedicated, isolated virtual machine is a safe way to start playing and learning, without dealing with an error-prone setup involving dependencies directly on your Mac. Our prepackaged VM is ready to use and when you are done, you can remove the machine, leaving your main macOS system as clean as it was previously.

Note: This machine is only available to those with current Parallels Desktop for Mac Pro, Business, or Enterprise licenses.

This section contains some specific information on how you can best start your AI development journey using our tools.
