Model Training

Not Supported

This library is a dedicated runtime engine for inference serving and does not train models.

Model Inference

Supported
Inference Accelerators:
CPU
Deployment Targets:server

What It Does

  • +Automated statistical data drift tests: Wasserstein distance, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, PSI, Jensen-Shannon
  • +Comprehensive model performance evaluation reports (classification, regression, ranking)
  • +LLM observability: evaluating hallucination, semantic similarity, toxicity, and context relevance
  • +Self-hostable open-source web monitoring UI and automated HTML report generation for CI/CD test gates

What It Does Not Do

  • -Train machine learning or deep neural models directly
  • -Replace continuous high-volume metrics collectors like Prometheus or Grafana
  • -Deploy model serving endpoints over gRPC/REST

>Suitable Work Types

  • Automated drift monitoring in production ML pipelines to trigger model retraining alerts
  • Pre-deployment CI/CD regression testing comparing candidate models against production baselines
  • Evaluating enterprise RAG pipelines for groundedness and question-answer relevance

>Unsuitable Work Types

  • Real-time per-millisecond scoring loop telemetry where computing statistical drift is too heavy
  • Computer vision pixel transformation pipelines
Data Residency Implications

Runs 100% locally or inside on-premise VPC infrastructure. Zero data transmitted to cloud services.

Security Considerations

Apache-2.0 license. Suitable for security-hardened air-gapped enterprise environments.

Operational Profile & Known Limitations

Maturity:mature
Learning Curve:low
Ops Complexity:low
Cost Tier:free-oss
> Known Limitations:
  • Generating exhaustive visual HTML reports on datasets with millions of rows can be slow; use batch sampling or JSON metric test suites for large tables.

Associated Incident Patterns (Incidentpedia)

Enforce safeguards and monitoring to guard against these documented real-world failure modes:
