AgentOps vs W&B Weave (2026)
Both watch agents in production and they come from different places.
AgentOps is agent native, built around debugging production agents with broad framework support and an open source SDK, free to start. Weave comes from Weights and Biases, so it arrives with the machine learning discipline attached: session aware tracing, LLM as a judge scoring and safety scorers, free tier then roughly 60 dollars a month plus usage. If your team already lives in Weights and Biases the decision is mostly made; if not, AgentOps is the lighter thing to adopt.
Choose AgentOps if
- You want an agent specific tool rather than an evaluation platform that added agent support.
- The open source SDK matters because you intend to instrument agents across several frameworks.
- Your team has no Weights and Biases footprint and does not want to acquire one.
Choose W&B Weave if
- You already run Weights and Biases, and traces belonging next to your experiments is worth more than tool fit.
- LLM as a judge scoring and safety scorers are the capability you are shopping for.
- Documented knowledge grounding and evaluation coverage are stronger where AgentOps is thin.
