The release
Stefano Noferi releases Admina, an Open Source framework sponsored by noze and distributed under the Apache 2.0 license. Admina is created to address a concrete need: governing the interactions between applications and artificial intelligence models with transparency, control and regulatory compliance.
The architecture
Admina offers two complementary operational modes:
- Python SDK (in-process): direct integration into application code, intercepting model calls with no network overhead.
- Transparent network proxy: a proxy that intercepts model calls at the network level, applicable to any application without source code modifications.
Both modes apply bidirectional policies with four actions: ALLOW, BLOCK, REDACT and CIRCUIT BREAK.
The four domains
The framework covers four functional domains:
- Data Residency: automatic redaction of PII (personally identifiable information) and control of data flows toward external models.
- AI Infrastructure: native support for Ollama, vLLM, local RAG and on-premise AI infrastructures.
- Agent Security: protection against prompt injection, automatic loop interruption, agent sandboxing.
- Compliance: conformity with the EU AI Act, forensic black box for complete audit trail, integration with OpenTelemetry for observability.
The technologies
Admina is developed in Python and Rust — Python for the SDK and integrations, Rust for the high-performance proxy.
