The honest brief
Lakera
Detection models trained on 80M+ real adversarial prompts from its viral Gandalf game; sub-50ms inline latency.
- Detection sharpened by the Gandalf game

- Model-agnostic API in front of any LLM
- Behavioral detection risks false positives
- Core product is closed source
- Enterprise pricing quoted by sales
Pangea
Ships guardrails as discrete, composable APIs you call à la carte — not one monolithic gateway you must route all traffic through.
- Composable, API-first security services
- Pay-as-you-go with free monthly balance
- Model-agnostic; sits in front of any LLM
- Integrates via LiteLLM and Portkey
- You wire the guardrails in yourself
- Less turnkey than full proxy gateways
