Peering Into the Soul of AI Decision-Making with LangSmith

LangSmith is a framework built on top of LangChain that helps track the inner workings of large language models (LLMs) and AI agents within products. It consists of four main components - debugging, testing, evaluating, and monitoring. Debugging allows users to dive into perplexing agent loops, frustratingly slow chains, and scrutinize prompts like they're suspects in a lineup. Testing enables the use of existing datasets or creation of new ones, running them against chains with visual feedback on outputs and accuracy metrics presented within the interface. Evaluating delves into the performance nuances of LLM runs, while monitoring gives real-time updates on AI behavior. LangSmith is different from LangChain as it focuses more on understanding the 'why' behind LLM decisions rather than just executing chains, prompts, and agents.
