Agenta is an open-source LLMOps platform designed to help engineering and product teams build reliable LLM applications faster. The project emerged from the growing need for structured prompt management, evaluation workflows, and observability in production LLM deployments.
Agenta was created to address the challenges teams face when moving LLM applications from experimentation to production. The platform’s mission is to provide infrastructure for LLM development teams to transition from scattered workflows to structured processes following LLMOps best practices.
The project is developed by Agentatech UG (haftungsbeschränkt), doing business as “Agenta”, and has grown into a community-driven open-source initiative.
Agenta’s design is guided by several key principles:
Agenta started as a platform focused on prompt management and evaluation. Early versions provided:
As the LLM ecosystem matured, Agenta expanded its capabilities:
Today, Agenta is a full-featured LLMOps platform with:
The interactive LLM playground allows teams to compare prompts side-by-side against test cases, with version control for prompts and configurations including branching and environments.
Agenta developed flexible evaluation capabilities including LLM-as-judge, 20+ pre-built evaluators, custom evaluators, and human feedback integration for domain expert review.
The platform added observability features including cost and performance tracking, detailed LLM tracing, and OpenTelemetry native support.
Recognizing the need for cross-functional teamwork, Agenta built features enabling non-technical subject matter experts to collaborate on prompts and evaluations without touching code.
Agenta has grown into an active open-source project:
The project offers both a self-hosted version and Agenta Cloud with a free tier (no credit card required).
