More than 2,500 companies in over 40 industries turn data into smarter decisions with Gurobi. The Gurobi Optimizer enables users to state their toughest business problems as mathematical models and then finds the best solution out of trillions of possibilities. Gurobi Optimizer can also become a decision-making assistant, guiding the choices of a skilled expert or even run in fully autonomous mode without human intervention.
The Latest and Greatest…Gurobi Optimizer 9.0
Breakthrough New Capability
Find globally optimal solutions to bilinear pooling and blending problems.
- Non-Convex Quadratic Optimization – We added a new bilinear solver that allows you to solve problems with non-convex quadratic constraints and objectives.
Faster Than Ever
Our maniacal focus on speed continues.
Gurobi Version 9.0 delivers significant performance improvements across LP, MIP, and MIQP problem types compared to v8.1.
- LP – In default settings is 7% faster.
- Barrier – 7% faster and an additional 4% faster with computers supporting AVX 512.
- MIP – 18% faster overall and 26% faster on difficult models that take more than 100 seconds to solve.
- MIQP – 24% faster.
Ease of Use
New functionality in the Optimizer simplifies your workflow.
- Python Matrix API – We have extended our Python interface to support matrix-oriented modeling using NumPy or SciPy matrices.
- Piecewise-Linear (PWL) Constraints – You can now add PWL constraints directly as a modeling construct instead of having to represent them as a combination of linear and SOS constraints.
- Function Constraints With Automatic PWL Translation – This release allows you to add nine basic, nonlinear, univariate function constraints, including polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. We will perform an automatic piecewise-linear approximation of these functions.
- MIP Scenario Analysis – This new feature allows you to describe multiple sets of changes to a model (scenarios) and computes the impact of these changes on the solution.
- New Solution Improvement Heuristic – New, much more effective heuristic for focusing on improving MIP solutions.
- Intermediate Solution Files – We now allow you to write solutions found during the MIP solution process to files as soon as they are discovered.
We are happy to help you benchmark your models with Gurobi v9.0. Please submit a Gurobi support ticket to get started.

Why Gurobi?
Flexible Deployment
Deploy your model where and how you want. One user can solve a single model on one machine. Many users can solve multiple models using many machines. Models can also be solved locally or on an internal or public cloud.
Responsive Support
Customers have direct access to PhD-level optimization experts with years of experience working with commercial models. With Gurobi, you get answers when you need them, not in days or weeks.
Quickly Develop Models and Turn them into Full-Featured Applications
Gurobi’s Python API includes higher-level modeling constructs that make it easier to build optimization models. Python users can choose to use the Anaconda Python distribution with pre-built libraries to support application development, Spyder for graphical development, and Jupyter for notebook-style development. Together, Gurobi’s Python API and distributions, like Anaconda, give you the ease of a modeling language with the power of a programming language. Additionally, we provide an interactive interface that uses Python for quick testing.
Flexible Licensing
Our licenses may be used for both development and deployment. Gurobi offers a wide range of licensing options to fit your needs.
