OpenMeters – A fast and free audio metering/visualization suite
This has been a pet project of mine for the past ~5 months. It consists of six visualizations: - Spectrogram: Implements the reassignment method for sharper time and frequency resolution. - Spectrum analyzer: A-weighted, frequency guidelines, loudest frequency tooltip. - Waveform: Colored based on frequency, loudness, or static - Oscilloscope: Tracks pitch and autocorrelates against a reference signal, provides stability. Also includes a regular zero-crossing trigger. - Stereometer & Phase meter: Linear and exponential scaling modes, adjustable windows. Multi-band correlation meter. -…

OpenLLMetry – OpenTelemetry-based observability for LLMs2023 · github.com · ▲154Hey HN, Nir, Gal and Tomer here. We’re open-sourcing a set of extensions we’ve built on top of OpenTelemetry that provide visibility into LLM applications - whether it be prompts, vector DBs and more. Here’s the repo: https://github.com/traceloop/openllmetry. There’s already a decent number of tools for LLM observability, some open-source and some not. But what we found was missing for all of them is that they were closed-protocol by design, vendor-locking you to use their observability platform or their proprietary framework for running your LLMs. It’s still early in the…
