Pangram's detector uses deep learning trained on roughly one million human and AI documents to analyze structural, stylistic and semantic patterns, rather than relying on perplexity metrics. It detects output from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Llama and DeepSeek among others. [10]

Pangram Labs builds an AI content detection platform that identifies machine-generated text across more than 20 languages and many AI models, including detection of AI-assisted editing rather than only fully AI-written text, plus plagiarism checking and an image detection research preview. [13]
