Giskard vs Project Moonshot

Giskard provides tools for assessing AI agents before production, with coverage for prompt injection, data disclosure, inappropriate content, hallucinations, contradictions, and omissions. Its Hub performs black-box testing of conversational text-to-text agents available through an API endpoint. An assessment produces a structured report with a deploy-or-fix verdict, ranked vulnerabilities, and functional scenarios; passing agents receive a Giskard Label. Giskard describes a remediation process in which its team qualifies findings, discusses severity, prioritizes issues, opens workflow tickets, and reruns tests to check fixes. Enterprise evaluation options include adversarial probes, domain-specific datasets, RAG quality metrics, customizable metrics, and human review interfaces. Deployment choices include on-premise, private cloud, and SaaS. Giskard lists EU or US data residency, access controls, audit trails, identity-provider integration, encryption, and a zero-training policy, alongside GDPR, SOC 2 Type II, and HIPAA compliance. The free plan includes a local open-source library, basic vulnerability scanning and RAG evaluation, community support, and best-effort maintenance.

Project Moonshot is an open-source toolkit for evaluating the safety and reliability of large language models and applications. It runs benchmark tests using open-source datasets and metrics, and generates adversarial prompts to probe possible vulnerabilities and misuse. Users can build custom evaluations with their own datasets, optional prompt templates, metrics, and grading scales. Results appear in interactive HTML reports and downloadable raw JSON. Moonshot provides a Web UI, interactive command-line interface, library APIs, and Web APIs, with configurable connections to model providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Together, and Hugging Face. Users can also create connectors for other models or applications hosted on custom servers. The toolkit implements benchmarks recommended in IMDA’s Starter Kit for safety testing LLM-based applications. Moonshot is free beta software under Apache License 2.0. Installation uses pip and requires Python 3.11; the Web UI additionally requires Node.js 20.11.1 LTS or later, and test assets are needed to run tests. The installation guide recommends Chrome for the Web UI and notes possible installation difficulties on x86 Macs with moonshot-data dependencies.
