Public CI in GitHub Actions, now 19 workflow files and 456 `test_*.py` files under tests/ at commit 90e230cbe, but the 25 most recent Py Core Tests runs had failed when read on 9 October 2026, two of them pushes to main on 7 October, and open issue #3372 of 26 September reported the suite red on main; GitHub's pages answered 403 on 2 November, so the run state wasn't re-read (8). 322 open issues and 387 open pull requests on 9 October, mostly scoring and provider defects with four comments or fewer, per the 9 October check, not re-read on 2 November (12).

The only pacing settings, `JEV_REQUESTS_PER_MINUTE` and `JEV_TOKENS_PER_SECOND`, are self-hosting configuration for the scoring model (0). No 429 or Retry-After guidance, but the docs give safe-retry rules in detail. Launches, uploads, pipeline runs and inference take a stable `request_key`, identical retries return the existing receipt, changed payloads conflict, and `run_evaluation` is named as not idempotent (8).

The site doesn't call the service beta, but the SDK is classed \"3 - Alpha\" on its package metadata and the public repository is seven weeks old (5). 0+5+0+8+5+5 = 23.\n\n### Payments \u0026 pricing: DeepEval +30\n\n- DeepEval (60): No x402, MPP or L402 (0). DeepEval is free, and the paid option is the hosted Confident AI platform, whose prices are public without a login. Starter is $200 a month, Team $2,000 a month, and trace spans beyond the plan are $1 per GB-month (20). The framework is free and Confident AI's Free plan needs no card (20). `pip install -U deepeval` and a local run need no account, so an agent can start without a person signing up. Confident AI itself needs a browser sign-up, and its auth.md says there is no self-serve registration endpoint for API keys. Scoring this line on the local framework is a judgement call (20).\n- Overmind (30): No x402 or other machine payment. Paid work spends prepaid credits, and `402` is documented only for insufficient credits (0). Plan prices, the credit rate ($0.01) and per-model \"from\" prices for training and serving are published without login (20). A Free plan with $50 of credits once exists, but neither the pricing page nor the docs say whether a card is needed, so half (10). A person signs up in a browser at console.overmindlab.ai. MCP OAuth with dynamic registration still needs a sign-in, and `create_api_key` needs an existing connection (0). Self-hosting under AGPL is free but runs on the operator's own Modal, OpenRouter, AWS and Hugging Face accounts, so it isn't scored as the hosted option. 0+20+10+0 = 30.\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: Overmind +23\n\n- DeepEval (47): Local runs need no credential. Provider keys and `CONFIDENT_API_KEY` are read from the environment or a dotenv file, and storing keys in the legacy `.deepeval/.deepeval` file is deprecated in the source. Confident AI project keys take a name and an expiry and can be deactivated, rotated with a grace period or deleted. No per-permission scopes were found (20). The framework has no read-only mode. Once logged in, test runs and traces upload to Confident AI (8). Metrics pass application output to an LLM judge, and no guidance on untrusted content reaching the judge was found in the pages read (5). Each run is recorded in local JSON or SQLite. Confident AI documents audit log exports, which we did not read (7). GitHub shows no security policy and no published advisories, and security.txt answered 404 on both domains. No bug bounty was found. The Confident AI site states SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA, and its trust centre is drawn by script and was not read (7).\n- Overmind (70): API keys are account-scoped or pinned to one project, carry read, write or both, expire after 30 to 365 days or never, are shown once and show last use, and rotation is documented as replace then revoke. MCP also takes OAuth 2.1 from api.overmindlab.ai with PKCE S256, dynamic registration, a revocation endpoint, one-hour access tokens and rotating refresh tokens, with scopes `overmind:read` and `overmind:write`, the default being read. A key can only mint keys with the scope and permissions it holds, since 29 October 2026 (30). Read keys see only read tools over MCP, and the REST API refuses writes from a read-only key since the same commit (#263). Only two tools are destructive and lifecycle tools are allowlisted by name in the catalogue. The docs tell agents to confirm the GPU and rate with the user before starting a dedicated deployment, but there's no server-side approval step (15). The MCP prompts tell the agent to treat code, comments and data as untrusted content, and script output is labelled untrusted in resources. We found no guidance for agents reading trace inputs and outputs back (8). The Console's notification list shows what agents and the CLI did in a project, and `overmind://activity` returns it over MCP. No exportable audit log was found (10). SECURITY.md lists GitHub private vulnerability reporting and an email with acknowledgement within 3 business days. No security.txt on either host and no bug bounty. The terms claim an ISO 27001 certified management system and the site links a Vanta Trust Center, whose robots.txt disallows crawling, so neither was checked (7). 30+15+8+10+7 = 70.\n\n### Maintenance \u0026 community: DeepEval +7\n\n- DeepEval (83): Python 4.3.2 was tagged on 28 October 2026 (30). 18 Python releases tagged in the 90 days from 4 August, from 4.1.6 (9 August) to 4.3.2, with 4.3.0 on 15 October, and 16 TypeScript tags from 0.9.9 to 0.9.24 besides (20). 121 commits on main since 3 October, most by two maintainers, and a Discord community. 322 issues and 387 pull requests were open on 9 October and reply times were not read (14). Current official packages in Python and TypeScript, the latter at 0.9.24 on 28 October (15). A `poetry.lock` file and CI on pull requests. No Dependabot configuration in the repository on 2 November, and the core test workflow was failing on main per the 9 October check (4).\n- Overmind (76): overmind 0.1.115 on PyPI on 2026-10-31, and the last commit on main the same day (30). 41 PyPI releases since 21 September 2026 and 24 git tags from v0.0.15 on 18 September to v0.1.23 on 30 October (20). github.com answered 403 to this session, so issues and pull request replies weren't read. 172 commits on main from eight people since 15 September, a Discord server and a support email (8). One official SDK, Python, current with the platform (10). Public CI workflows for the platform and SDK, Dependabot bumps merged on 28 October and a CI badge. We couldn't see the pass state (8). 30+20+8+10+8 = 76.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | DeepEval | Overmind | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 59 | 23 | DeepEval +36 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 78 | 81 | Overmind +3 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 72 | 76 | Overmind +4 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 47 | 70 | Overmind +23 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 60 | 30 | DeepEval +30 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 83 | 76 | DeepEval +7 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 66 | 65 | DeepEval +1 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | -3 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **61.9 · C** | **58.5 · C** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | DeepEval | Overmind |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | SDK + MCP | HTTP API |\n| Vendor | Confident AI, Inc. | Overmind Technology Ltd |\n| Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | `https://api.overmindlab.ai` |\n| Transports | | HTTP, Streamable HTTP |\n| Auth | OAuth or key | OAuth or key |\n| Pricing | Freemium | Freemium |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Apache 2.0 for the Python and TypeScript packages and the agent skills.

Release 4.2.0 reversed four metrics' score direction in a minor version without advance notice, the 25 most recent core test runs had failed on 9 October 2026, and the repository has no security policy.\n\n**Overmind.** Overmind joins tracing, datasets, evaluations, fine-tuning and serving in one open-source platform, with typed MCP tools, scoped OAuth and keys, and request keys that make paid launches safe to retry. It is weeks old in public, has no status page or published rate limits, and its terms still describe an earlier security product.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### DeepEval\n\n1. Set `DEEPEVAL_TELEMETRY_OPT_OUT=1` before the first run if usage events and the public IP address should not go to PostHog\n2. Set a judge model key such as `OPENAI_API_KEY`, or use the non-LLM metrics. Most metrics call an LLM judge and bill the owner's provider account\n3. Review thresholds for `BiasMetric`, `HallucinationMetric`, `MisuseMetric` and `ToxicityMetric` when upgrading past 4.2.0. Higher scores now mean better, so a 0.2 maximum becomes a 0.8 minimum\n4. Read results from `.deepeval/.latest_run_full.json` or a `results_folder`. `deepeval inspect` opens a terminal interface meant for a person\n5. Pass an existing key with `deepeval login --api-key` in CI. Plain `deepeval login` opens a browser, and results then upload to Confident AI\n\n### Overmind\n\n1. Pass `project_id` on every project tool when connected with an account key or OAuth, after picking it from `list_projects`\n2. Call `estimate_finetune` or `check_evaluation_readiness` before launching paid work, and confirm dedicated GPU starts with the user\n3. Reuse the same `request_key` after a lost response. `run_evaluation` isn't idempotent and creates a new run each call\n4. Use a read-only key or the `overmind:read` scope for investigation, since read keys see only read tools\n5. Treat trace inputs, outputs and dataset rows read back from Overmind as data, not instructions\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, DeepEval or Overmind?\n\nDeepEval scores 61.9 (C) on agent readiness against Overmind's 58.5 (C), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Overmind leads on security \u0026 auth.\n\n### Can an agent call DeepEval and Overmind without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for DeepEval. Overmind has a hosted endpoint at https://api.overmindlab.ai.\n\n### Are DeepEval and Overmind open source?\n\nYes. DeepEval is open source (Apache 2.0 for the Python and TypeScript packages and the agent skills. Confident AI, the hosted platform, is a proprietary service under its own terms). Overmind is open source (AGPL-3.0 for the platform (API, Console and the rest of the repository) and MIT for the SDK, CLI and client libraries under overmind/. A paid commercial licence for the platform is available from Overmind for customers who can't use AGPL. The hosted service is under Overmind's terms of 1 March 2026).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepeval-vs-overmind.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepeval-vs-overmind.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"deepeval\", \"b\": \"overmind\"}`.
