The platform also helps organizations evaluate models against business outcomes using custom AI judges and A/B testing. Adaptive Engine is designed to close the loop by feeding production signals back into training. This enables organizations to build specialized models they own and that can improve with each deployment. Datadog said combining Adaptive ML's capabilities with its observability data will help accelerate the development of specialized AI agents and models for production environments. The company said the goal is to train these systems on real-world signals that matter across cloud observability and security.
