Galileo is an AI evaluation, observability and runtime protection platform for generative AI and large language model applications. Founded in 2021 in San Francisco by Vikram Chatterji, Atindriyo Sanyal and Yash Sheth, it embeds research-backed evaluation metrics across the GenAI stack, helping enterprises measure model quality, detect hallucinations and guard agent behaviour in production. Cisco Systems acquired Galileo on May 22, 2026, and the platform now forms part of Cisco's Splunk Observability portfolio, where it extends AI agent monitoring in Splunk Observability Cloud across the agent development lifecycle.
