What the company did
TruEra was a Redwood City, California AI infrastructure company founded in 2019, building an AI quality, observability and governance platform for machine-learning and LLM applications. Its open-source TruLens library let developers evaluate and track LLM and RAG applications with feedback functions (groundedness, relevance), tracing and a local dashboard, including the 'RAG Triad' evaluation. The company raised about $42 million. In May 2024 Snowflake acquired TruEra's AI observability technology assets and hired key employees; the standalone TruEra product was absorbed into Snowflake's Cortex AI platform while TruLens continued as open source.
