What you give up either way
- Shannon 2 proprietary model and performance
- DarkEval proprietary adversarial benchmark and exploit coverage
- Enterprise compliance guarantees (SOC 2 Type II, custom compliance mapping)
- Built-in web search with integrated source citations and their token-quota model
- Any gated access to constraints-relaxed red-team models and audit tooling
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches SHANNON LAB LLC, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
