OpenCTI vs Superwise: at a glance
What is OpenCTI?
OpenCTI's assistant starts executing approved tools, and its maps stop calling out.
OpenCTI is an open-source threat-intelligence platform shipping several times a week. 7.260828.0 adds human-in-the-loop tool approval to Ask Ariane, the platform's assistant, replaces the external map tile server with local PMTiles rendering, and adds two inference rules deriving vulnerability relationships across systems, software and infrastructure. A Score field arrives on threat actors, intrusion sets, malware, incidents and events.
What is Superwise?
Superwise is turning its LLM gateway into a FinOps console for model fleets
Superwise's Sentinel line has gained an observability layer in two steps: a live fleet-wide activity log of every interaction crossing the gateways, then a FinOps dashboard reporting token consumption, cache-hit rate, reasoning ratio and output-to-input ratio by provider, model and sentinel. Both are explicitly metadata-only, with prompts and responses staying inside the customer's environment.

OpenCTI's assistant starts executing approved tools, and its maps stop calling out.
◆ Current state
OpenCTI is an open-source threat-intelligence platform shipping several times a week. 7.260828.0 adds human-in-the-loop tool approval to Ask Ariane, the platform's assistant, replaces the external map tile server with local PMTiles rendering, and adds two inference rules deriving vulnerability relationships across systems, software and infrastructure. A Score field arrives on threat actors, intrusion sets, malware, incidents and events.
◆ Where it's heading
Recent releases have been steady platform work: shareable saved searches, mass relation edits, STIX ingestion robustness, an LTS security backport. Two moves here break that pattern — the assistant shifting from answering to acting under approval, and an external dependency disappearing from the map path. The inference rules continue OpenCTI's push to derive relationships rather than make analysts assert them by hand.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next releases to spell out which tools Ask Ariane may call and under which roles, since the approval mechanism arrives here as a single changelog line with no scope attached.

Superwise is turning its LLM gateway into a FinOps console for model fleets
◆ Current state
Superwise's Sentinel line has gained an observability layer in two steps: a live fleet-wide activity log of every interaction crossing the gateways, then a FinOps dashboard reporting token consumption, cache-hit rate, reasoning ratio and output-to-input ratio by provider, model and sentinel. Both are explicitly metadata-only, with prompts and responses staying inside the customer's environment.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving from policy enforcement toward cost accountability, and the metadata-only boundary is being used as the selling point rather than a limitation. Underneath, routine work continues on gateway sharing, policy previews and keeping the supported model list current.
◆ Prediction
Cost visibility usually precedes cost control, so expect budget thresholds or routing policies that act on the FinOps metrics rather than only reporting them.
