Instruments autonomous AI agents and multi-step workflows to capture execution traces in real-time, recording each agent action, decision point, tool invocation, and state transition with sub-100ms latency overhead. Traces include full execution context (prompts, model outputs, tool responses, intermediate states) enabling post-hoc analysis of agent behavior and decision paths without requiring code modifications to the agent itself.
Unique: Fiddler's tracing captures full execution context (prompts, intermediate outputs, tool responses) with sub-100ms latency, enabling decision lineage analysis without requiring agents to implement custom logging — differentiating from generic APM tools that lack LLM/agent-specific context semantics
vs alternatives: Faster and more semantically rich than generic APM tools (Datadog, New Relic) for agent workflows because it understands agent-specific events (tool calls, model outputs, state transitions) rather than treating agents as black-box services
Provides a framework for evaluating LLM outputs using other LLMs as judges, supporting both built-in evaluation templates and custom evaluator functions. Implements a 'bring your own judge' pattern allowing teams to define domain-specific evaluation criteria (factuality, tone, safety, business logic compliance) and deploy them as reusable evaluators across experiments and production monitoring. Evaluators can be chained and composed for multi-dimensional assessment.
Unique: Fiddler's 'bring your own judge' pattern decouples evaluation logic from the platform, allowing teams to use any LLM as a judge and define evaluators as reusable code artifacts — differentiating from fixed evaluation frameworks (e.g., RAGAS) that constrain evaluation to predefined metrics
vs alternatives: More flexible than static evaluation frameworks because custom evaluators can encode arbitrary business logic and domain expertise, enabling evaluation of nuanced criteria (tone, brand alignment, regulatory compliance) that generic metrics cannot capture
Provides a framework for defining, versioning, and managing LLM prompts as first-class artifacts. Enables teams to store prompt templates with variables, version them, and track changes over time. Supports prompt composition (combining multiple prompts) and prompt chaining (sequential prompts). Integrates with experiments to enable A/B testing of prompt variants and with monitoring to track prompt performance in production.
Unique: Fiddler's prompt specifications integrate with experiments and monitoring, enabling end-to-end prompt lifecycle management from versioning through A/B testing to production performance tracking — differentiating from prompt management tools (Promptly, PromptBase) that focus on sharing without versioning or monitoring
vs alternatives: More integrated than standalone prompt management tools because it connects prompt versioning to experimentation and production monitoring, whereas tools like Promptly are primarily marketplaces without lifecycle management
Generates comprehensive audit trails of AI system decisions, including execution traces, evaluation results, policy enforcement actions, and fairness analysis. Produces compliance reports documenting model behavior, fairness metrics, and decision explanations for regulatory review. Supports data retention policies and export capabilities for compliance documentation. Designed for regulated industries requiring transparent, auditable AI systems.
Unique: Fiddler's audit trail integrates execution traces, evaluation results, and fairness metrics into unified compliance documentation — differentiating from generic audit logging tools by providing AI-specific audit context (model decisions, fairness analysis, policy enforcement)
vs alternatives: More comprehensive than generic audit logging because it captures AI-specific decision context (model outputs, evaluation results, fairness metrics) rather than just system events, enabling compliance documentation that demonstrates responsible AI practices
Provides observability capabilities across multiple deployment models: SaaS (all tiers), VPC (Enterprise only), and on-premise (Enterprise only). Enables organizations to choose deployment based on data residency, compliance, and security requirements. Instrumentation and monitoring logic remain consistent across deployment options, allowing teams to migrate between deployments without code changes. Enterprise deployments support custom integrations and infrastructure requirements.
Unique: Fiddler's multi-deployment model allows organizations to choose deployment based on compliance and security requirements while maintaining consistent instrumentation and monitoring logic — differentiating from SaaS-only platforms (Datadog, New Relic) that cannot accommodate on-premise or VPC deployments
vs alternatives: More flexible than SaaS-only observability platforms because it supports on-premise and VPC deployments for organizations with strict data residency or security requirements, whereas SaaS-only platforms force data to be sent to cloud
Implements a consumption-based pricing model where customers pay per trace (Developer tier: $0.002 per trace) with free tier for real-time guardrails only. Trace definition and granularity not publicly documented, making cost estimation difficult without contacting sales. Enterprise tier offers custom pricing. Pricing model incentivizes efficient trace collection and filtering to minimize costs.
Unique: Fiddler's per-trace pricing aligns costs with observability volume, incentivizing efficient trace collection — differentiating from flat-rate observability platforms (Datadog, New Relic) that charge per host or per GB ingested
vs alternatives: More cost-efficient for low-volume observability needs because per-trace pricing scales with usage, whereas flat-rate platforms charge minimum fees regardless of volume
Analyzes model predictions across demographic groups and protected attributes to detect disparate impact, bias, and fairness violations. Computes fairness metrics (documented in 'Fairness Metrics Reference' but specifics not provided) across slices of data defined by protected attributes (e.g., gender, race, age) and identifies systematic differences in model behavior that may indicate discriminatory outcomes. Supports both pre-deployment analysis and continuous monitoring of fairness in production.
Unique: Fiddler's fairness analysis integrates with its broader observability platform, enabling continuous fairness monitoring alongside performance metrics and drift detection — differentiating from standalone fairness tools (e.g., Fairlearn, AI Fairness 360) by embedding fairness into production ML workflows
vs alternatives: More operationally integrated than open-source fairness libraries because it provides production monitoring, alerting, and compliance reporting alongside analysis, whereas libraries like Fairlearn require manual integration into ML pipelines
Monitors input feature distributions and model performance metrics over time to detect drift (changes in data distribution) and performance degradation. Uses statistical tests and comparison against baseline distributions to identify when model inputs or outputs have shifted, signaling potential model retraining needs. Supports both univariate drift detection (per-feature) and multivariate drift detection (joint distribution changes). Integrates with alerting to notify teams of detected drift.
Unique: Fiddler's drift detection integrates with its broader observability platform and connects to guardrails and evaluation systems, enabling automated responses to drift (e.g., triggering retraining pipelines or activating fallback models) — differentiating from standalone drift detection libraries by embedding drift into operational workflows
vs alternatives: More actionable than statistical drift libraries (e.g., Evidently) because it connects drift detection to guardrails and evaluation, enabling automated remediation rather than just alerting

Enables querying experiments via flexible filtering on tags, hyperparameters, metrics, date range, and custom metadata. Supports full-text search on experiment names and descriptions. Results can be sorted by metric values (e.g., best validation accuracy) and aggregated (e.g., average metric across runs). Filtering is performed server-side for scalability. Saved filters can be bookmarked for repeated use.
Unique: Provides server-side filtering and full-text search on experiment metadata with sortable results, enabling efficient experiment discovery without client-side filtering or manual browsing
vs alternatives: More integrated than generic search tools; comparable to Weights & Biases experiment search but self-hosted and open-source
Distributes training tasks across a pool of worker machines (agents) using a queue-based dispatch system. Tasks are enqueued with resource requirements (GPU count, memory, CPU cores); agents poll queues and execute tasks in isolated environments with automatic dependency resolution and artifact staging. Supports dynamic resource allocation, priority queuing, and task preemption.
Unique: Implements a lightweight agent-based queue system where workers poll for tasks with declarative resource requirements (GPU count, memory), automatically staging dependencies and artifacts without requiring shared filesystems, supporting dynamic queue prioritization
vs alternatives: Simpler to deploy than Kubernetes-based solutions (Ray, Kubeflow) for small-to-medium clusters, but lacks the auto-scaling and fault-tolerance guarantees of cloud-native orchestrators
Defines machine learning workflows as directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) where nodes represent tasks (training, evaluation, preprocessing) and edges represent data/artifact dependencies. Pipelines are defined via Python API or YAML, executed sequentially or in parallel based on dependency graph, with automatic artifact passing between stages and centralized monitoring of pipeline runs.
Unique: Implements DAG-based pipeline orchestration where task dependencies are automatically resolved and artifacts are passed between stages via the Task context, with centralized monitoring and support for both Python API and YAML definitions
vs alternatives: More lightweight than Airflow or Prefect for ML-specific workflows, but lacks their mature scheduling, retry logic, and ecosystem of integrations
