LLM Observability & AI Evaluation Tools

LLM observability and evaluation tools show what AI applications and agents actually do in production. They trace each request through prompts, retrieval steps, model calls and tool calls, so teams can see why an answer was produced and where it went wrong.

Evaluation features test quality before and after release: measuring accuracy, relevance and hallucination rates, comparing prompt and model versions, and catching regressions. Monitoring features track latency, errors, token usage and cost, and alert when behaviour drifts.

As more teams move generative AI and agents from pilots into production, these tools become the way to prove an application is reliable, keep costs under control, and give security and compliance teams a record of what the AI did.

Frequently asked questions

What is LLM observability?

LLM observability is the ability to see and understand how an AI application behaves in production: tracing every request through its prompts, retrieval and model calls, and monitoring quality, latency, errors and cost.

What is AI evaluation?

AI evaluation measures how well a model or AI application performs on representative tasks — for example accuracy, relevance and hallucination rate — so teams can compare versions and catch regressions before users do.

How is LLM observability different from traditional APM?

Application performance monitoring tracks speed and errors. LLM observability also tracks what the model said and why: the prompts, retrieved context, outputs and their quality, plus token usage and cost.

When do teams need these tools?

As soon as an AI application or agent serves real users. Without tracing and evaluation it is hard to explain wrong answers, prove quality to stakeholders, or keep model costs predictable as usage grows.
