Arthur AI

Application

Arthur Agent Security & GovernanceApplication

Module within the Arthur AI Platform providing security scanning, policy enforcement and governance controls specifically for autonomous agent deployments (tool-use permissions, action auditing, risk scoring).

Developer tool

Arthur EngineDeveloper tool

Open-source, real-time evaluation engine for generative AI and traditional ML models: instant analysis of outputs, active guardrails, and built-in plus customizable metrics, run inside a user's own infrastructure independently of the hosted Arthur platform.

Platform

ArthurPlatform

AI observability platform monitoring model performance, bias, drift and behavior for ML and generative AI/agentic applications in production, built on an open-source evals engine.

Fiddler AI

Application

Fiddler AI Governance, Risk Management, and ComplianceApplication

Governance module within the Fiddler AI Control Plane providing model inventories, policy enforcement and audit-ready reporting for regulatory compliance (e.g. EU AI Act) across an organization's AI systems.

Fiddler Agentic ObservabilityApplication

Tracing and monitoring module for multi-step agent workflows within the Fiddler AI Control Plane, tracking tool calls, reasoning steps and failures across an agent's execution.

Fiddler Continuous EvaluationsApplication

Ongoing automated evaluation module within the Fiddler AI Control Plane that re-scores production LLM/agent outputs against quality and safety metrics over time, not just at launch.

Fiddler GuardrailsApplication

Runtime safety layer within the Fiddler AI Control Plane that screens LLM/agent inputs and outputs for hallucination, toxicity, PII and jailbreak attempts before they reach users.

Developer tool

Fiddler AuditorDeveloper tool

Source-available library for red-teaming and robustness testing of LLMs, run independently of the hosted Fiddler platform. Fiddler's own page calls it "open-source"; its repository's actual licence is the Elastic License 2.0, which is not an OSI-approved open-source licence (it restricts offering the software as a competing hosted service), so it is recorded here by its real terms rather than the vendor's label.

Platform

Fiddler AIPlatform

AI observability platform: evaluation, monitoring and real-time guardrails for ML models and generative AI/agentic applications in production.
