Products, side by side

Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked

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.
