Generative AI is a branch of artificial intelligence that focuses on creating content such as text, images, audio, and video. Generative AI applications use large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-3, GPT-4, and others to generate natural language responses based on user inputs or prompts.

Developers face many challenges such as:- Managing the costs and usage of LLMs, which can be expensive and unpredictable.- Monitoring the latency and quality of LLM responses, which can vary depending on the model, prompt, and input.- Handling errors, rate limits, and reliability issues that may arise when using LLM APIs.- Analyzing user behavior and feedback to optimize LLM performance and user satisfaction.To address these challenges, Helicone is an open-source observability platform for generative AI applications. Helicone helps developers track, visualize, and optimize their LLM usage, latency, and costs with one line of code.Helicone integrates with popular LLM providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, Google AI, and more. Helicone also supports custom models and prompts that developers may use to fine-tune their LLM outputs.With Helicone, developers can:- View key metrics such as requests, costs, latency, and errors in a user-friendly dashboard.- Filter and segment metrics by time, users, models, prompts, and custom properties.- View individual requests and responses in detail, including conversations or chained prompts.- Optimize LLM usage and costs by using caching, retries, rate limits, and other tools.- Get alerts and notifications when metrics exceed thresholds or anomalies are detected.- Detect and filter toxic or harmful LLM outputs using toxicity detection features.Helicone is developer-driven and committed to keeping it that way. Helicone is backed by Y Combinator and trusted by leading companies building with generative AI. Helicone also has a vibrant open-source community where contributors actively participate in shaping the platform by voting on features and collaboratively pushing updates.If you are interested in learning more about Helicone or trying it out for yourself, you can visit their website at https://www.helicone.ai/ or check out their GitHub repository at https://github.com/helicone/helicone.
