LLM Observability: Tracking Tokens, Cost, Latency, and Agent Traces

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Effective LLM observability in production requires tracking key metrics such as tokens used, cost, latency, and agent traces. This involves capturing detailed records for each model call, including prompts, outputs, provider information, and timing. Implementing a centralized capture point, like a gateway, is recommended for consistent data collection across various services and LLM providers. AI

IMPACT Implementing robust LLM observability is crucial for managing costs, performance, and quality in production AI systems.

    <p>LLM observability means every model call in production can be answered after the fact: what was sent, what came back, which provider and model served it, how long it took to the first token and in total, what it cost, who triggered it, and whether the answer was any good. In p…
