What is Langfuse
Langfuse is an open-source LLM engineering platform designed to optimize AI interactions. It provides tools for tracking, analyzing, and managing conversations, prompts, and evaluations to help debug and improve Large Language Model (LLM) applications.
How to use Langfuse
Langfuse can be integrated into your LLM application using its SDKs. For example, the Python SDK allows you to use the @observe decorator on functions to automatically link nested calls and trace LLM interactions. The langfuse.openai module provides a wrapper for OpenAI's API, enabling seamless integration with their chat completions.
