Bring
accountability to your AI stack.

Keep using the packages you depend on — securely.

Your AI stack runs on open source. When a vulnerability appears, you can’t always replace the package, rewrite your application, or wait for someone else to fix it. 

 

OpenTeams brings accountability to the AI supply chain. We remediate critical vulnerabilities and secure the path software takes from source to production.

Your AI stack runs on these software stacks. Our engineers maintain them.

AI security is now
supply-chain security.

The threat to an AI system rarely starts where you run it. It starts upstream, in the open-source packages your AI is built from, maintained by the kind of engineers you’ll work with here.

You can’t stop using a package just because it has a vulnerability. Your stack depends on it. So the real question isn’t is it safe to install? It’s how do we fix this and keep using it?

There are two ways your stack gets compromised.

01

Vulnerabilities in the packages.

A Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) lands in a package deep in your stack: a model framework, a transitive dependency, something pinned years ago. The official fix is often a new major version that would break your application. That leaves you stuck between shipping insecure software and rewriting working systems under pressure. This is what remediation solves.

02

Compromise of the build chain.

A package on a public index is not the source you reviewed. It is a wheel or RPM built from that source through a chain of tools and credentials. Attackers have compromised that chain and swapped real code for malicious code mid-build, so the artifact no longer matches what you can read. This is what building from source solves.

One team, three workstreams.

The same upstream maintainers who steward these packages run three coordinated workstreams against your dependency inventory — a security engineer leads every one.

Three workstreams

01 Remediation

Fix the vulnerabilities in the packages you can’t safely upgrade away.

02 Build from source

Secure the path your packages take from source to production.

03 Secure registry

A trusted, self-hostable home to keep what you install.

Workstream

01

We don’t report vulnerabilites.
We remediate them.

Most vendors wait for the open-source community to publish a fix, then pass it along. We work inside the upstream communities that maintain the packages your AI stack depends on, fixing vulnerabilities at the source. While the permanent patch moves through the release process, we deliver a validated fix through a private channel you control, protecting you now without leaving you with a private fork to maintain.

How it works

01

Identify & triage

We monitor disclosures against your exact dependency set — across both conda and PyPI — and prioritize what's genuinely exploitable.

02

Fix at the source

Our maintainers apply the security fix directly to the package source — a real fix, not a wrapper or a flag.

03

Validate

The fix is rebuilt from source, dependency-resolved, and validated for compatibility across your supported runtimes.

04

Deliver immediately

The patched package goes to the private channel you pull from — so you're protected now, not whenever the community ships.

05

Land it upstream

We carry the same fix through the upstream community’s process, so it becomes the permanent, official fix the whole ecosystem gets.

Workstream

02

Trust that your binaries match
the source you reviewed.

Installing from a public index takes trust. You trust that the wheel or RPM you downloaded was actually built from the source you can inspect. That is the build-integrity problem: the security gap between source code and the artifact your systems actually install.

 

Most real supply-chain compromise happens in that gap: the build and distribution chain, not the source repo.

Security-sensitive engineering organizations close the gap by building from source inside their own environment instead of depending on what a public index hands them.

Two ways to get there, you choose where it lives

Option

What it is

Best for

Hosted secure channel

We build your critical dependencies from source and deliver them through a private channel you pull from.

Teams that want the outcome without running the infrastructure.

Inside your own environment

We stand up the same secure build pipeline entirely within your org, your packages, your servers, your control.

Security-sensitive enterprises that keep dependencies fully in-house.

Workstream

03

An open-source, self-hostable home for the packages your teams trust.

Securing what you install is only half the problem, you also need somewhere trusted to keep it. Most teams already run a commercial artifact registry, we integrate with those. For teams that don’t, or that want an open alternative, we bring our own: an open-source, self-hostable artifact registry, Artifact Keeper.

Already on a commercial registry?

Move at your own pace

Built-in migration brings over your repositories, artifacts, and permissions. It reads from your existing registry without modifying it, so you migrate incrementally, not in one risky cutover.

Artifact Keeper is being folded into the broader Nebari platform, so the pieces — secure registry, scanning, and remediation — fit together as one story rather than a bag of tools. It manages, scans, quarantines, and serves artifacts. It does not rebuild or generate packages, and it doesn’t decide what your teams can install.

The engineering organization our team grew out of contributed 44,000+ hours across 40+ open-source projects. This counts foundational AI and scientific-Python packages OpenTeams engineers maintain or steward.

2 Computed June 2026 as the union of unique package names across the published package lists of leading curated open-source distributions for AI and data science, deduplicated by normalized package name. “In scope for coverage” means eligible for coverage under this program. It is not a count of packages already remediated, rebuilt, or otherwise secured.

3 Team statistics are conservative floors derived by cross-referencing our engineering team’s public GitHub presence against independent public sources: project governance and team pages, CODEOWNERS files, council and steering-committee rosters, package-index maintainer listings, publication records, dissertation records, university records, and public Quansight team and publication pages. All figures are current as of June 2026. Only publicly confirmable credentials are counted. Each person is counted at most once per category. Probable credentials are excluded, so actual totals may be higher. Maintainer figures include current and emeritus maintainer, core-team, council, or code-owner standing on notable open-source projects.

If your business runs on AI, let’s make sure you can trust the stack it’s built on.

Tell us what you’re running and our engineers will tell you what we can do about it: the vulnerabilities we can remediate, and the build chain we can secure.
