This New Stack Makers podcast co-hosted by Adrian Cockroft, analyst at OrionX.net and TNS founder and publisher, Alex Williams discusses the importance of monitoring services utilizing Large Language Models (LLMs) and the emergence of tools like LangChain and LangSmith to address this need. Adrian Cockcroft, formerly of Netflix and now working with The New Stack, highlights the significance of monitoring AI apps using LLMs and the challenges posed by slow and expensive API calls from LLMs.
LangChain acts as middleware, connecting LLMs with services, akin to the Java Database Controller. LangChain's monitoring capabilities led to the development of LangSmith, a monitoring tool. Another tool, LangKit by WhyLabs, offers similar functionalities but is less integrated. This reflects the typical evolution of open-source projects into commercial products. LangChain recently secured funding, indicating growing interest in such monitoring solutions. Cockcroft emphasizes the importance of enterprise-level support and tooling for integrating these solutions into commercial environments. This discussion underscores the evolving landscape of monitoring services powered by LLMs and the emergence of specialized tools to address associated challenges.
