Elastic
Platform
A conversational assistant embedded in Kibana that answers natural-language questions against a customer's own indexed data across Elastic's Observability, Security and Search solutions.
Weights & Biases
Platform
Experiment tracking for model training runs, recording hyperparameters, metrics and artifacts so runs can be compared, swept and reproduced.
Curated central repository providing versioning, aliases, lineage tracking and governance for models and datasets across the ML lifecycle.
Managed reinforcement-learning fine-tuning service for LLMs on CoreWeave's managed GPU cluster, billed per-token for rollouts with automatic scale-to-zero.
Serverless supervised fine-tuning for LLMs on CoreWeave's managed GPU cluster, run alongside Serverless RL in a unified workflow via the Agent Reinforcement Trainer (ART) API.
No counterpart
Elastic sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Weights & Biases yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Application
An AI security-operations layer that correlates alerts from a customer's existing security tools, prioritizes threats and guides response workflows without replacing their SIEM.
GenAI- and ML-driven capability inside Elastic Observability that automatically detects, diagnoses and helps resolve operational issues, providing recommended actions for SREs.
Monitoring capability inside Elastic Observability for generative-AI and agentic applications: performance, cost control, guardrail tracking and reliability for GenAI workloads.
Agentic security-operations platform unifying SIEM, XDR and native automation, with autonomous agents handling detection-to-response workflows and purpose-built AI skills for threat hunting, alert analysis and detection engineering; supports multiple LLMs including on-premises models.
Agent platform
A builder for custom AI agents that answer questions and take actions over data indexed in Elasticsearch, using configurable tools, skills and prompts.
An automation engine that runs both scripted steps and AI agents which reason through investigations and execute response actions against data in Elasticsearch.
Model API
Hosted inference endpoint that runs Elastic-managed LLMs, the ELSER sparse-embedding model and third-party embedding models for ingest, search and chat without provisioning ML nodes in a customer's own Elasticsearch deployment.
Weights & Biases sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Elastic yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
API service
Hosted inference service for open-source and commercial LLMs (OpenAI, Qwen, Llama, Kimi, Phi, DeepSeek, Z.AI) without managing infrastructure.
Developer tool
Tracing, evaluation and production monitoring for LLM and agent applications, capturing each call so prompts and outputs can be scored over time.
