Giskard

80/100open sourcefreemiumexplicit relation

Giskard is an open-source testing framework for evaluating AI model quality, detecting bias, data drift, and security vulnerabilities. It provides automated test generation for LLMs and tabular models, scanning for issues like hallucination, prompt injection susceptibility, stereotypical outputs, and data leakage. Integrates with CI/CD pipelines for continuous model validation before deployment.

Open-source Python library (Apache-2.0) is $0 self-hosted via pip install giskard with unlimited local vulnerability scanning, RAGET evaluation, and tabular ML testing. Giskard Hub / Enterprise ($500+/mo or custom quote) provides centralized collaborative dashboards, test suite management, CI/CD quality gates, SAML SSO, on-premise/VPC deployment, and enterprise SLA.Review →

OpenLITOpenLIT is an open-source AI engineering platform that provides OpenTelemetry-native observability for LLM applications. It combines distributed tracing, evaluation, prompt management, a secrets vault, and GPU telemetry in a single self-hostable stack. With 50+ integrations across LLM providers and frameworks, it lets teams monitor AI applications using their existing observability backends like Grafana, Datadog, or Jaeger.CiliumCilium is a CNCF Graduated, Apache-2.0 project for Kubernetes networking, security, and observability using eBPF. It can replace kube-proxy, enforce identity-aware L3-L7 network policies, and add Hubble flow observability plus Tetragon runtime-security signals. Current source checks support GKE Dataplane V2 using Cilium/eBPF and Azure CNI Powered by Cilium for AKS.MCP-ScanMCP-Scan is a security tool that scans MCP servers for vulnerabilities including tool poisoning, prompt injection, cross-origin escalation, and rug pull attacks. Acquired by Snyk in 2026, it is the first dedicated security scanner for the MCP ecosystem. It analyzes tool descriptions, permissions, and behavior patterns to detect malicious or compromised MCP servers before they can exploit AI agents.PangolinIdentity-based remote access platform built on WireGuard that combines reverse proxy and VPN capabilities. Pangolin supports clientless browser access for web apps and client-based private-resource access across macOS, iOS, Windows, Linux, and Android, with zero-trust rules, peer-to-peer tunnels, automatic SSL, SSO/OIDC options, and cloud or self-hosted deployment.SemgrepSemgrep is an AppSec platform with a widely used open-source engine for readable code rules plus commercial SAST, supply-chain and secrets workflows.
