Dataiku adds explainability to NVIDIA Nemotron.

Dataiku adds explainability to NVIDIA Nemotron. Dataiku launches Kiji Inspector with support for NVIDIA Nemotron open models to improve explainability, transparency, and governance for AI agents. Dataiku has announced support for NVIDIA Nemotron open models through the launch of Kiji Inspector, an open-source explainability framework developed for enterprise AI agents. Introduced through Dataiku's 575 Lab open source office, Kiji Inspector is described as one of the first open-source explainability frameworks purpose-built for enterprise AI agents. NVIDIA Nemotron is the first model family supported by the framework. The launch comes as organisations increasingly operationalise AI agents across critical workflows, particularly in regulated and high-stakes environments where performance alone is not sufficient. Enterprises also need to understand, validate, and govern how AI systems reach their outputs. Kiji Inspector is designed to address limited visibility into how AI agents make decisions. At the core of the framework is a sparse autoencoder, which examines the model at the moment it commits to a tool and identifies the signals behind that choice, translating them into explanations that teams can trace, validate, and trust. Hannes Hapke, Director of 575 Lab at Dataiku. said: "Without explainability, scaling AI means scaling uncertainty. Bringing Kiji Inspector to NVIDIA Nemotron open models changes that equation. It enables organisations to inspect and refine AI explainability before risk becomes reality. This is essential as agentic systems move from experimentation to trusted infrastructure." The release also builds on the broader alignment between Dataiku and NVIDIA around production-grade generative and agentic AI. NVIDIA Nemotron open models provide the performance and advanced capabilities needed for enterprise AI agent systems, while Dataiku provides orchestration across data platforms, enterprise applications, and AI services within a governed framework. Amanda Saunders, Director of Generative AI, NVIDIA, commented: "Open models like NVIDIA Nemotron give organisations visibility into how their systems operate, enabling deeper understanding, auditability, and control. By combining Nemotron's state-of-the-art open-source models with the Kiji Inspector, users can understand what moved the agent's LLM to make the decision."

Matrix expands Dataiku global AI collaboration to the Americas for accelerated data modernization.

Matrix expands Dataiku global AI collaboration to the Americas for accelerated data modernization. PR Newswire Today at 6:42am PDT Joint advisory and AI platform approach enables financial institutions to deploy AI and Gen AI-driven solutions in weeks while reducing operational complexity NEW YORK, March 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Financial institutions face escalating rising regulatory scrutiny and pressure from board members to modernize fragmented legacy analytics. Matrix, a top 10 global technology integrator and digital transformation leader, today announced the expansion of its Dataiku, The Platform for AI Success, offering. Building on years of successful implementations in EMEA, this new initiative expands to North America and Latin America. Through this offering, organizations can move from siloed tools to a unified platform for analytics, machine learning, generative AI, and governance. Combined with Matrix's advisory and implementation expertise, institutions can deploy AI-driven fraud, compliance, and enterprise risk solutions in weeks rather than months, while enabling both technical and business teams to collaborate on AI initiatives within a single platform.

Dataiku delivers one of the first open-source frameworks.

Dataiku delivers one of the first open-source frameworks. Dataiku's new open source tool Kiji Inspector extends enterprise-grade transparency and governance to NVIDIA-powered agentic AI As organizations race to operationalize AI agents across critical workflows, performance alone is no longer enough - enterprises must also understand, validate, and govern how those systems arrive at their outputs, particularly in regulated and high-stakes environments. Through its 575 Lab open source office, Dataiku, The Platform for AI Success, has introduced Kiji Inspector(TM), one of the first open-source explainability frameworks purpose-built for enterprise AI agents. The first model family supported by Kiji Inspector is NVIDIA Nemotron open models. As enterprises move toward sovereign AI and build more of their own AI infrastructure, combining NVIDIA's Nemotron models with Dataiku's Kiji Inspector helps ensure organizations maintain clear visibility into how AI-driven decisions are made. Kiji Inspector provides built-in explainability for agent decisions, directly addressing one of the most pressing challenges in enterprise AI: the black-box optioproblem. At the core of Kiji Inspector(TM) is a Sparse Autoencoder that looks inside the model at the moment it commits to a tool, identifying the signals behind that choice and translating them into clear explanations teams can understand, trace, validate, and trust - without slowing the system down. "Enterprises are embedding AI agents into decisions that influence revenue, safety, compliance, and customer trust, yet most still lack structural visibility into how those systems reason," said Hannes Hapke, Director of 575 Lab at Dataiku. "Without explainability, scaling AI means scaling uncertainty. Bringing Kiji Inspector to NVIDIA Nemotron open models changes that equation. It enables organizations to inspect and refine AI explainability before risk becomes reality. This is essential as agentic systems move from experimentation to trusted infrastructure." This release builds on the broader alignment between Dataiku and NVIDIA to deliver production-grade generative and agentic AI. NVIDIA Nemotron open models provide production-grade performance and advanced capabilities required for enterprise AI agentic systems. Dataiku provides scalable orchestration, connecting data platforms, enterprise applications, and AI services within a single, governed framework. "Scaling autonomous AI agents across the enterprise demands trust rooted in transparency and accountability," said Amanda Saunders, Director of Generative AI, NVIDIA. "Open models like NVIDIA Nemotron give organizations visibility into how their systems operate, enabling deeper understanding, auditability, and control. By combining Nemotron's state-of-the-art open-source models with the Kiji Inspector, users can understand what moved the agent's LLM to make the decision." With over 750 enterprise customers, Dataiku's work on explainable AI has long resonated with industry leaders operating in complex, regulated environments. SLB, a global technology company that has driven energy innovation for 100 years, recognizes the importance of transparency as it expands AI adoption across operational and decision-making processes. "In energy operations, AI delivers real value when engineers can understand and rely on its decisions," said Sampath Reddy, Global Innovation Manager - Data & AI, SLB. "Having validated workflows and clear governance makes it possible to bring agentic AI directly into day-to-day systems, giving teams the confidence to deploy and scale these technologies in real operational environments." By extending Kiji Inspector to NVIDIA Nemotron, Dataiku enables enterprises to harness NVIDIA's cutting-edge open-source AI performance without compromising on model performance known from closed-source model APIs. As AI agents become more autonomous and embedded in enterprise systems, explainable reasoning will be foundational to long-term AI success, regulatory readiness, and competitive separation. Kiji Inspector for NVIDIA Nemotron is available today. Published March 17, 2026
