Confident AI
LLM eval platform with dataset management, tracing, and production monitoring.
About
Confident AI is a cloud platform for LLM evaluation and observability built by the same team behind the open-source DeepEval framework. DeepEval handles code-first testing with research-backed metrics (faithfulness, answer relevance, hallucination detection) and pytest-style CI integration, while the Confident AI platform adds dataset management, LLM tracing, eval runs across releases, and production monitoring with online evals on live traffic. Confirmed failures can flow back into the benchmark that gates the next release.
The honest caveats: DeepEval and Confident AI are two separate products — the open-source framework is standalone and the platform is commercial, so self-hosting the full observability loop is not free. Reviews praise its evaluation depth, but it competes with LangSmith, Braintrust, and Langfuse, each with stronger framework or ecosystem lock-in. Setup effort grows with evaluation rigor: good evals need curated datasets, not just default metrics.
What it can do
- Research-backed eval metrics (50+)
- Dataset curation and management
- LLM tracing and observability
- Production monitoring with online evals
- Regression gates for CI/CD
Setup
pip install deepeval for local evals; create a Confident AI account and run deepeval login for the cloud platform.
Prerequisites
Python environment for DeepEval; an LLM application to evaluate.
