Aegisys vs Arize
Arize is a ml observability platform. Aegisys is verification infrastructure.
What Arize does
LLM tracing, evaluation scoring, and production monitoring for AI applications. Strong for tracking model inputs/outputs and measuring quality metrics over time..
What Aegisys does
Arize traces what the model produced. Aegisys proves what the agent did — cryptographically sealed receipts that any third party can verify without an Arize account.

See the difference
// Before: Arize traces the LLM call
arize.log_trace(llm_call, response);
// After: Aegisys seals the action receipt
const receipt = await witness.wrap(
{ action: "stripe.charge", amount: 2000 },
async () => stripe.charges.create({ amount: 2000 })
);
// Anyone can verify: npx @aegisys/record verify receipt.jsonMigrating from Arize
Keep Arize for LLM observability. Add Aegisys around consequential actions — the API calls, charges, and data writes that Arize can't prove happened.
When Arize is the better choice
Honest assessment — Arize beats Aegisys if:
- You need deep LLM token-level tracing
- Evaluation pipelines with human feedback
- Model comparison across versions
