Arize AX

Arize AX

Arize AX is an AI engineering platform for improving AI agents and applications. It captures traces of real behavior, automatically surfaces recurring issues with Signal, evaluates quality with LLM-as-a-judge or code evaluators, and runs controlled experiments to prove improvements before deployment. Built on OpenInference and OpenTelemetry standards, it integrates with 40+ models and frameworks and supports flexible deployment, including self-hosted options. The platform is designed for AI engineers, ML engineers, and founders who need to debug, monitor, and continuously improve production AI systems. Core capabilities include auto-instrumentation, trace exploration, custom dashboards, online and offline evaluations, and prompt experimentation with versioning.

Everything worth knowing about Arize AX

The complete picture — from everyday features to the technical detail builders and IT folks dig for.

Core features

What it actually does

Trace & Monitor Agent Behavior
Automatically capture detailed traces of every LLM call, tool use, and agent run to understand exactly what happened during execution.
Automatic Issue Detection (Signal)
AI-powered system that scans production traces to surface recurring failures, group them into ranked issues, and propose root cause fixes.
Comprehensive Evaluation Framework
Run unlimited online and offline evaluations using LLM-as-a-Judge, agent-as-a-judge, custom code evaluators, or human annotations to score agent quality.
Experimentation & Prompt Testing
Build datasets, run controlled experiments comparing prompts, models, or agent changes, and use playgrounds to test before deploying to production.
Alyx AI Engineering Agent
An in-product AI agent that helps you run evaluations, debug issues, and improve your agents by answering plain language questions about your data.
Technical capabilities
OpenTelemetry & OpenInference Standards
Built on open standards (OpenInference, OpenTelemetry) to ensure vendor-neutral instrumentation and compatibility with 40+ models, frameworks, and AI tools.
ADB Datastore & Data Fabric
Proprietary GenAI trace datastore (ADB) storing data in open formats, enabling native integration with BigQuery, Databricks, or Snowflake via Data Fabric.

Who uses it

Real use cases, no hype
Agent Debugging
Use 'Signal' and tracing to identify and fix recurring failures in production AI agents.
LLM Evaluation
Run comprehensive span, trace, and session evaluations with LLM-as-a-Judge or code evaluators.
Prompt & Model Experimentation
Test changes to prompts, models, or retrieval strategies with controlled experiments before shipping.
Production Monitoring
Track token usage, latency, costs, and create custom dashboards and alerts for AI performance.
Coding Agent Workflow
Set up and manage observability directly from within AI coding assistants like Claude Code or Cursor.
Multi-modal AI Analysis
Trace and evaluate complex interactions involving text, images, voice, and PDFs.
Compliance & Security
Deploy on-premise or use SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR compliant cloud infrastructure.
What's great
  • Free tier is generous with unlimited users, evals, and experiments.
  • Open-source core (Phoenix) with OpenTelemetry/OpenInference standards.
  • Integrated AI agent (Alyx) for debugging and improvement workflows.
  • Enterprise tier supports self-hosted deployment for data sovereignty.
Technical strengths
  • Agent-first debugging designed for coding agents like Claude and Cursor.
  • Built-in 'Signal' agent automatically surfaces recurring production issues.
Where it falls short
  • Free tier limits are restrictive: only 10 signals and 25k trace spans/month.
  • Key advanced features like custom code evaluators are Enterprise-only.
  • Complex feature matrix with many tiers can be confusing to navigate.
  • Pro plan has a 10 GB storage cap, which can be tight for high-volume traces.
Technical limitations
  • Self-hosted deployment is not available until the custom Enterprise plan.
  • Data retention is fixed (15-30 days) on managed SaaS tiers.
For technical folks

FAQ

Includes technical Q&A
Connect your agent or application to Arize and send your first trace. Traces show what happened inside each request, giving you the data you need to debug, evaluate, and improve your agents. Start setting up traces for your agent.
