Datadog has unveiled Scout, a model purpose-built for SRE incident triage that runs inside its Bits Investigation AI SRE product, ingesting alerts, querying telemetry and proposing root causes. On Datadog's internal AlertEval benchmark, Scout medium reportedly matches GPT-6.1 Sol high and Claude Opus 5.5 high at one-third to one-eighth of their estimated inference cost. Built on GLM-5.3 Flash and post-trained via reinforcement learning on simulated incidents, Scout is in closed preview with no public release date announced.

Datadog Launches Scout, an SRE-Specialized Model for Incident Triage
- Scout reportedly matches frontier general models on Datadog's AlertEval at one-third to one-eighth the inference cost
- Built on GLM-5.3 Flash and post-trained with reinforcement learning on simulated incidents derived from historical patterns
- It only diagnoses and recommends remediation for now; engineers still own changes, and no GA date is set
