Learn how to use Athanor to run systematic, reproducible experiments.

Athanor is an experiment harness built with Elixir and Phoenix. It provides a complete framework for defining, configuring, executing, and analyzing experiments—whether you're running AI research trials, performance benchmarks, A/B tests, or any systematic investigation.

Why Athanor?

  • Code-defined experiments — Your methodology lives in version control, not a database
  • Reproducible by design — Configuration snapshots ensure you can recreate any run
  • Real-time visibility — Watch experiments execute with live progress, logs, and results
  • Programmatic access — Full MCP server integration for automation and tooling
  • Built on OTP — Leverage Elixir's supervision trees for fault-tolerant execution
