Problem

Engineers debugging production LLM pipelines lack structured tracing, latency breakdowns, and regression checks when prompts change.

Audience

AI engineers and software teams shipping agentic applications

Existing alternatives

  • Manual logging to Datadog or ad-hoc spreadsheet prompt comparisons.

Milestones

  • Q1

    Drop-in TypeScript/Python SDK

  • Q2

    Automated prompt regression evaluator

  • Q3

    Team prompt playground

Pitch

Tip: use **bold**, bullet lines starting with - , and [label](https://…) for links.

A drop-in SDK that wraps OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini calls to automatically log token usage, latency, and system prompt versions with instant diff tracking.

  • EElena Rostova·

    Super excited about this! Will there be support for self-hosted Ollama models as well as cloud providers?

    • Alex Chen·

      Yes, absolutely! The proxy layer supports any OpenAI-compatible API endpoint, including Ollama and vLLM.
