Comet

Comet

Comet is an AI developer platform built around Opik, its open-source observability and evaluation stack for LLM applications and agents. Teams use it to trace every step an agent takes, from context retrieval and tool calls to final responses, then score outputs, annotate failures, and push fixes back into code. The platform also includes MLOps experiment tracking for traditional machine learning workflows.

Opik connects logging to action. Test Suites let you write plain-text pass/fail assertions without building custom eval pipelines. Ollie, the built-in coding agent, reads traces, proposes fixes, and can write them directly to your repository through Opik Connect. Agent Playground runs full agents locally while streaming complete execution graphs into the UI. Cost Intelligence tracks Claude Code and Codex spend across engineering teams.

Comet targets ML engineers, AI platform teams, and data scientists shipping chatbots, RAG pipelines, and autonomous agents. Customers include Netflix, Uber, Autodesk, and Stability AI. The company reports 150,000+ users, 10,000+ teams, and 19,000+ GitHub stars on its open-source project.

What is the difference between Comet, Opik, and MLOps?

Comet is the company name. Opik is its GenAI observability and evaluation platform for LLM applications and agents. MLOps is Comet's separate product family for machine learning experiment tracking, dataset management, and model production monitoring. Both run on the same underlying platform.

Can I self-host Opik?

Yes. Opik is open source. Comet publishes the code on GitHub and you can download, install, and run it locally or on your own infrastructure. The self-hosted version includes the full AI observability and agent testing feature set.

What AI frameworks does Opik integrate with?

Opik integrates with more than 40 AI frameworks, model providers, and gateways, including LangChain, OpenAI, Google ADK, LangGraph, and CrewAI. It also provides native OpenTelemetry support for tracing applications in Ruby, Java, and other languages.

Is Comet SOC 2 compliant?

Yes. Comet Enterprise plans include SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 9001, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance. Enterprise customers also get flexible deployments, single sign-on, dedicated support with SLAs, and service accounts. Security reports are available through Comet's trust center.
