Testing AI – How to do Observability of Your LLM right In this final post of my Testing AI series I take a look at LangSmith. A powerful observability and monitoring tool for AI and Large Language Models.

Final post (for now) in my series of posts looking at Testing AI. This post focusses on LangSmith, an LLM observability tool from LangChain

Thanks again to @ministryoftesting.com for the inspiration to learn more about AI and LLMs its been really enjoyable.

Put together some draft blog posts today. Realised I now have 13 posts in various state of draft 😬 really should get around to finishing writing some of them.
