LLM input logging system developed to reconstruct model prompts

The author developed a system to ensure that all text sent to an LLM is reconstructable from logs, addressing a previous lack of transparency where the model's inputs were not fully recorded. This involved creating an append-only table to log events from various sites, detailing the source, trust label, character count, and payload of the text. A key finding was the discovery of unaccounted characters, including a significant 66,570 characters from a prompt-cache hit that had not logged its input, and an additional 20,864 characters from conversation history.

    66,570 characters reached the model and nothing logged them

    <p>Ask your system why it answered the way it did last Tuesday and you will probably get a token count. Maybe a latency number, maybe a model name, maybe a rollup that says memory contributed 4,812 characters. None of that answers the question. The question is what text was in fr…
