Contract monitor for LLMs, but lacks real-world context—feels like a research tool masquerading as a product.

Strengths

•Byte-exact deterministic testing against defined contracts is rigorous
•Integrated with multiple LLM providers (OpenAI, Claude, Mistral, Together)

Weaknesses

•No evidence this solves problems existing guardrails (Guardrails.ai, Outlines) don't already handle
•Demo UI shows zero live results—no clear value prop beyond observability visualization

Post Description

I’m an independent researcher building GuardianAI, a structural observer for AI systems.

This demo runs a strict deterministic contract test where the model must output exact literals. GuardianAI doesn’t judge correctness or inspect content — it observes trajectory behavior and surfaces failure signals when outputs breach constraints, emitting control states such as CONTINUE or PAUSE.

The interface shown is the visualization layer; the observer runs independently and can be tested via endpoint.
