ZenML rebrands as ZenML Labs with an always-on AI engineering team for agent ops
strickvl · x · 2026-11-10
ZenML founders announced a rebrand to ZenML Labs on their fifth anniversary, arguing that building an agent takes an afternoon but keeping it working is the hard part: prompt tweaks break things, cheaper models quietly fail, and teams only hear about it from customers.
ZenML Pro's new always-on AI engineering team
- Reads traces from Langfuse/LangSmith/Braintrust (18,402 imported in the demo) plus agent code, prompts, and evals on GitHub
- Finds eval blind spots and drafts new checks: 31 insurance appeals that never reached a decision passed the decisionformat eval, so it added a decisionmade check
- Validates fixes against history: across 214 past appeals, 3 runs each, decided appeals went from 86% to 100%, reviewer agreement from 91.2% to 93.8%, with zero regressions on 40 good appeals
- Upcoming: fine-tuning an open model on 41,200 traces that passes 9/9 evals at $0.10 per decision, down from $0.36
The ZenML and Kitaru OSS products remain free and open source.
