I got tired of LLM observability tools getting acquired. So I built one that can't be.

Helicone got acquired. Langfuse got acquired.
Two of the most trusted tools in the LLM
observability space, gone within months of
each other.

I don't say this to criticize the founders.
Building and selling is legitimate.

But for engineering teams running AI in
production — especially in healthcare, finance,
and government where data cannot leave your
servers — every acquisition is a crisis.

So I stopped waiting for the next one.
