Optimizing Weather Radar Networks for Texas: The Winning GAMSPy Student Competition Fall 2025 Project

Feb 8, 2026 Gamspy Python
We are happy to present the winning project of our GAMSPy Student Competition Fall 2025. Nikhil Trivedi, an undergraduate student from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, took first place with a project that tackles the critical meteorological challenge of improving early warning systems. Framing the problem as a Facility Location Problem (FLP), Nikhil took an innovative approach that combined physics and optimization in GAMSPy.
The Year 2025 for GAMS Solvers

Jan 26, 2026 Solvers
GAMS includes around 30 mathematical programming solvers with its distribution, many of them receiving constant updates. In this short article, we revisit major updates to these solvers from 2025.
Gurobi Returns to GAMS and GAMSPy

Nov 24, 2025 GAMS GAMSPy Solvers
What if your optimization runs finished in half the time - or if a complex MIP you thought was intractable now converged in minutes? Gurobi returns to the GAMS ecosystem and users once again have access to one of the leading high-performance solvers.
Speed vs. Guarantees: A Practical MIP–NLP Trade-off for NN Robustness

Nov 12, 2025 GAMSPy
A hands-on comparison of ReLU modeling in GAMSPy, MIP vs NLP, for adversarial verification on realistic networks. The workflow, code snippets, and trade-off between speed and guarantees are all explained in details.
Turning Solver Complexity into Solver Power: The GAMS Advantage

Nov 10, 2025 GAMS GAMSPy Solvers
Mathematical optimization depends on solvers - yet using them effectively can be daunting. At GAMS, we turn solver complexity into solver power, providing both a unified modeling interface and deep, decades-long expertise in solver development.
