Please extend Machine Learning capabilities to pro users. Small to Medium sized business may not have the employee count to justify enterprise licenses, but we can still benefit from general capability advancements in the Power BI service/product offering.

- jeroenbosemsNew MemberSince we can't experiment with these features on our own non premium license, we can't work these solutions at clients (who might have premium licenses). Give us a way to develop these models using our own hardware and that production runs require PowerBI Premium licenses.
- dmiradakis1New MemberPlease add this functionality, many of us are very interested in this! Thanks Power BI Team!
- ialastairhunterNew MemberCompanies that can afford to pay for a PowerBI premium subscription and have the user count to justify such a large purchase also probably have the capital to invest in data scientist or developers to create and train ML. This function becomes really valuable to Small to medium size businesses that cannot afford Premium subscription but the ML models could help them grow into those subscriptions. Focus on growing the small to medium businesses into enterprise rather than selling to the enterprise.
- branderNew MemberMust have & Will be a game changer
- brionicNew Memberplease extend this to PRO users. thanks
- dmiradakis1New MemberPlease add!
- rschefflerNew MemberEchoing another user's comment...most big shops have already spent the last 5-10 years building out their ML capabilities with data scientists and advanced BI groups. Power BI (and Microsoft) market their products as "democratized" and "empowering" for business users who may not have Data Science PHDs. Locking ML and AI behind massive enterprise BI cost structures is antithetical to that core empowerment mission. Hoping this feature is just in some kind of open beta test for the big shops before a wider roll out to all Pro users. I currently write my own ML using R and Python within PBI, but would LOVE to have access to a more UI-friendly and scalable Microsoft ML application. Stop teasing us with these game-changing features that most SME companies can't justify at Premium pricing tiers!
- pbiideas1New MemberNeed this for Pro user
- ktshad12New MemberIs this going to be available in the Gov domain?
- jgaeterNew MemberPlease consider adding ML to Power Bi Pro users. That would be extremely helpful for small and medium sized companies
