WhyLabs

WhyLabs was a software company that defined the AI Observability category and has since discontinued operations. The complete WhyLabs platform has been open sourced to support future iterations of AI observability research. The product was designed for teams working with AI systems, particularly those needing to monitor and secure large language models (LLMs) while preserving privacy. Its key capabilities included enabling privacy-preserving logging and monitoring for AI systems through an open standard for data logging called whylogs. Additionally, the company provided an open source toolkit named langkit, which was intended to help teams monitor and secure LLMs while maintaining privacy. The company also fostered a community called Robust and Responsible AI, which aimed to spread best practices throughout the AI industry. The discontinuation of operations was announced by the founding team, who expressed gratitude to investors, customers, team members, partners, and supporters who contributed to advancing the field of responsible AI operations.
