In plain words

traceAI is an open-source LLM tracing tool designed for developers building generative AI applications. It integrates with OpenTelemetry to capture prompts, completions, tokens, and agent decisions, then routes this data to existing observability platforms like Datadog, Grafana, or Jaeger. Supporting Python, TypeScript, Java, and C#, it works with 35+ frameworks including OpenAI, Anthropic, and LangChain. The tool requires minimal setup—just two lines of code to instrument an entire application—and requires no new vendor platform or dashboard.

    Hey 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…

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them.
