Overview
AI observability is the practice of collecting and analyzing telemetry, data such as logs, metrics, and traces that a system automatically records as it runs, from artificial intelligence systems deployed in production, in order to understand how they behave and how well they perform in terms of accuracy, cost, and safety. It applies the idea of observability, which comes from control theory and software engineering, to systems based on machine learning models, and in particular to large language models (LLMs) and autonomous agents. In control theory, observability is a measure of how well the internal state of a system can be inferred from its external outputs.
