Pipelex features

  • Declarative MTHDS language. Write typed AI methods in a Dockerfile/SQL-like syntax that defines steps, inputs, and outputs.
  • Agent plugins. Claude Code and Codex plugins let agents design, run, and save methods directly from the IDE.
  • Multi-environment execution. Run methods as a chatbot MCP, a webapp, or via API/CLI on any infrastructure.
  • Open standard runtime. Pipelex runtime executes methods locally or in Docker, handling model routing and structured output.
  • SDKs and integrations. TypeScript (@pipelex/sdk) and Python (pipelex-sdk) clients generate typed calls to the Pipelex API.
  • VS Code extension. Provides syntax highlighting, linting, and formatting for .mthds files.

Verdic features

  • Anti-Hallucination. Detects and prevents hallucinations by validating outputs against declared specifications.
  • Task Alignment. Ensures LLM results match declared task contracts, preventing drift.
  • Modality Enforcement. Locks output formats (JSON, text, etc.) through contract constraints.
  • Contract Orchestration. Defines and enforces execution contracts with safety and compliance policies.
  • Safe Failure Modes. Handles contract violations with allow, downgrade, or block decisions.
  • Risk Analysis. Monitors execution deviation over time and alerts on pattern changes.
