The platform for LLM evaluations and AI agent testing

Orkasopen-source

Open-source, local-first desktop AI workforce coordinated by a Commander through one chat.

+End-to-end agent simulation capabilities that test against full stack including tools, state, and user interactions with detailed failure analysis
+Open standards approach with OpenTelemetry/OTLP support ensuring no vendor lock-in and framework-agnostic compatibility
+Integrated workflow combining tracing, evaluation, prompt optimization, and monitoring in a single platform eliminating tool sprawl

-As a specialized platform, may require learning curve and setup time for teams new to LLM evaluation workflows
-Self-hosting option available but may require infrastructure management for teams preferring on-premises deployment

•Regression testing of AI agents before production deployment using realistic scenario simulations to identify breaking points
•Production monitoring and observability of LLM-powered applications with detailed tracing and performance evaluation
•Collaborative prompt engineering and optimization with domain expert annotations and version control integration
