Hey HN

After one too many customer firedrills regarding hallucinating or insecure AI models, we built a system to catch these issues before they reached production. The Arthur Engine has been running in Fortune 100 to AI Native Start-Ups over the past two years, putting security controls around more than 10 billion tokens in production every month. We're now opening up this service to developers, enabling you to leverage enterprise-grade solutions to provide guardrails and evals as a service, all for free.

Get it on Github (https://github.com/arthur-ai/arthur-engine) to start evaluating your models today

Highlights of Arthur's Engine include:

* Built for speed and scale: It performs well with p90 latencies of sub-second well over 100+ RPS

* Made for full lifecycle support: Ideal for pre-production validation, real-time guardrails, and post-production monitoring.

* Ease of use: It is designed to be easy for anyone to run and deploy whether you're working on it locally during development, or you're deploying it within a horizontally-scaling architecture for large-scale workloads.

* Unification of generative and traditional AI: The Arthur AI Engine can be used to evaluate a diverse range of models from LLMs and Agentic AI systems to binary classifiers, regression models, recommender systems, forecasting models, and more.

* Content-specific guardrail and detection features: Ranging from toxicity and hallucination detection to sensitive data (like PII, keyword/regex and custom rules) and prompt injection.

* Customizability: Plug in your own models or integrate with other model or guardrail providers with ease, and tailor the system to match your specific needs.

Having been first-hand witnesses to the lack of adequate AI monitoring tools and the general under delivery of Gen AI systems in production, we believe that such a capability shouldn't be exclusive to big-budget organizations. Our mission is to make AI better, for everyone, and we believe by opening up this tool we can help more people get to that goal.

Check out our GitHub repo for examples and directions on how to use the Arthur AI Engine for various purposes such as validation during development, real-time guardrails or performance troubleshooting using enriched logging data. (https://github.com/arthur-ai/engine-examples)

We can’t wait to see what you build
