Snowflake to acquire TruEra AI observability platform

Snowflake has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire TruEra, providers of an AI observability platform. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

TruEra’s technology helps evaluate the quality of inputs, outputs, and intermediate results of LLM apps. This expedites experiment evaluation for a wide variety of use cases, including question answering, summarization, retrieval-augmented generation-based applications (RAG apps), and agent-based applications. TruEra AI Observability can also help identify LLM and AI risks such as hallucination, bias, or toxicity, says Snowflake.

TruEra co-founders, president and chief scientist Anupam Datta, chief technology officer Shayak Sen, and CEO Will Uppington will be joining Snowflake as part of the acquisition.
