FAQPage Schema
How do I debug LLM issues with tracing?

LLM tracing visualizes the execution flow of LLM calls with detailed spans to pinpoint errors. By tracing the exact sequence of context retrieval and tool usage, you can identify the source of incorrect responses in your AI systems.

What is the best way to monitor production AI systems?

Monitoring production AI systems requires gaining real-time insights into their operations to ensure stability. This approach allows developers to observe live behavior, track performance metrics, and maintain the reliability of deployed LLM applications.

How do I run systematic evaluations on LLM datasets?

Running systematic evaluations on datasets assesses LLM performance by analyzing model outputs against expected results. This process helps developers measure accuracy, identify weaknesses in context retrieval, and improve overall AI system quality.

Does Phoenix observability work with OpenTelemetry integration?

Yes, Phoenix observability supports OpenTelemetry integration for various LLM frameworks. This compatibility allows you to standardize tracing data collection and seamlessly monitor your existing LLM applications without extensive code modifications.

Do I need the arize-phoenix library to trace LLM applications?

Yes, you need to install the arize-phoenix library to enable AI observability for LLM tracing. This dependency is required to launch the server and start visualizing execution flows, running evaluations, and monitoring systems.

Can I visualize execution flow for complex LLM chatbots?

Yes, visualizing execution flow for complex LLM chatbots allows you to trace exact sequences of LLM calls. You can inspect detailed spans of context retrieval and tool usage to debug incorrect responses effectively.
