Overview

rapidsai/dask-xgboost is deprecated in v0.15 and will be removed in v0.16. As of release 1.0, XGBoost provides a native Dask API.

The native XGBoost API has all of the functionality of dask-xgboost, combined with an updated, clean API and much more extensive testing. All users are encouraged to switch to the native API. See also this blog post for an overview.
