WhyLabs

WhyLabs was an AI observability platform focused on data and model monitoring for both classical ML and LLM workloads. It built and maintained whylogs, an open-source data logging library that produces statistical profiles of tabular and unstructured data, and LangKit, an open-source toolkit for LLM telemetry covering relevance, toxicity, prompt injection signals, and quality metrics. WhyLabs, Inc. has announced it is discontinuing operations and has open-sourced its platform; the whylogs and LangKit projects remain available on GitHub for community use and research.

WhyLabs is listed with 3 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include AI Observability, ML Monitoring, LLM Monitoring, Open Source, and whylogs.

WhyLabs’ developer surface includes engineering blog and 17 more developer resources.

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-11-13 · rubric v0.28.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Open Source Surface applies to this provider. This product is open source and we read its repository directly, so Open Source Surface carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from what the repository actually publishes — a security policy, a contribution guide, a release history, a code of conduct — read live from the provider rather than inferred from our own catalog pointers. This facet adds; nothing was taken away to make room for it. An open-source project is not excused from the commercial facets, because exemption would strip it of the points it does earn. If we have the wrong repository, or this product is not open source, say so on your provider repo and we will drop the facet rather than have you publish against it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because both conditional facets apply and carry 25 points together. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/whylabs/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/whylabs to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
