STOCKHOLM and LOS ANGELES – Jan. 8, 2025 – Apica, an intelligent data management and observability company, today announced enhanced capabilities for AI and Large Language Model (LLM) observability within its Ascent platform. As organizations increasingly deploy AI agents and LLM-powered applications in production environments, Apica’s solution provides comprehensive monitoring, insight, and governance essential for responsible AI implementation.
The Ascent platform offers seamless integration with OpenTelemetry SDKs and supports the entire AI ecosystem—including OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, Mistral, HuggingFace, and major cloud AI platforms like Azure OpenAI, Google AI Studio, Amazon Bedrock, and Vertex AI.
This comprehensive support enables businesses to gain visibility into their AI systems’ performance, behavior, and compliance across both cloud-based and on-premises environments. This comes at a critical time as AI agents evolve from experimental projects to mission-critical business tools requiring enterprise-grade observability.
“As AI systems become more autonomous and integral to business operations, the need for comprehensive observability has never been more important,” said Mathias Thomsen, CEO, at Apica. “Our Ascent platform provides organizations with the visibility and control they need to confidently deploy AI and LLM applications in production environments, while optimizing performance, enhancing security, and ensuring compliance.”
Key Features of Ascent’s AI and LLM Observability Solution:
- Optimize AI Performance & Cost Reduction: Monitor token costs, request latency, and system performance in real-time with intuitive dashboards; leverage AI-driven insights to predict and mitigate cost spikes
- Enhance AI Trust & Security: Detect hallucinations, bias, prompt injection attacks, and prevent PII leakage with automated guardrail monitoring
- Explainability & End-to-End AI Traceability: Gain full visibility into AI request execution across orchestration, caching, and model layers; track dependencies across LLMs, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and AI agents
- Complete Tracing and Metrics: Easily instrument AI applications to capture critical performance data with seamless OpenTelemetry integration
- Ensure AI Compliance & Sustainability: Maintain a full audit trail of inputs and outputs for regulatory adherence while supporting carbon-reduction initiatives
Apica’s solution addresses the growing complexity of AI deployments, from simple chatbots to sophisticated multi-agent systems that make autonomous decisions. The platform’s AI-powered root cause analysis helps organizations resolve failures before they impact users, while automated workflows maintain optimal AI performance and reliability. As the AI landscape evolves toward more specialized and self-improving systems, Ascent provides the necessary infrastructure to monitor performance, ensure security, and maintain ethical compliance.
“The evolution of AI agents from 2022 to 2025 has been remarkable,” said Ranjan Parthasarathy, CPTO of Apica. “What began as simple LLM implementations has transformed into complex, autonomous systems that require sophisticated observability solutions. Our platform evolves alongside these advancements, ensuring organizations can maintain visibility as their AI deployments grow more sophisticated.”
Ascent’s AI and LLM observability capabilities are designed for both cloud-based and on-premises AI deployments, supporting the full range of implementation scenarios from general-purpose assistants to domain-specific AI solutions in finance, healthcare, cybersecurity, and legal services.
