omnia vs braintrust

Braintrust measures quality. Omnia makes quality the release gate.

In Omnia the pass threshold, the rollout and the live scores are one system, inside your cluster. Braintrust reports the score to CI; turning it into a release decision is a reporter you write.

A prompt change drops task completion from 94% to 81%.
on omnia

The suite carries its own pass threshold. 81% is below it, so the version stops at the gate. docs

on braintrust

bt eval returns a non-zero exit code if any eval throws an exception. Failing on a score needs a custom reporter. their docs

The gate is the quality bar

Each version faces simulated users, hostile and voice callers, and assertions on the tool calls it makes. The threshold is part of the suite, and the gate reads it directly. docs

Braintrust: CI gates on exceptions by default; voice simulation comes through a partner. source

Online scores that act

Online scores feed the rollout. Each step to more traffic waits for them, and a drop triggers a rollback. docs enterprise

Braintrust: Online scoring runs asynchronously in the background, on a sample. source

All of it in your cluster

Testing, the runtime, the scores and the session archive stay in your Kubernetes cluster, on every edition. docs

Braintrust: Self-hosting is on the Enterprise plan, with Braintrust hosting the control plane. source

Common questions

How is each priced?
Braintrust charges by data processed and scores, with plans from free to Enterprise. Omnia is free while you build, the core is free in production, and the enterprise licencelicense is per environment per year from £30,000, with nothing metered.

Put your own agent through the gate.

Install Omnia in your cluster and run it free while you build.
