Definition
LangSmith is a specialized DevOps platform designed for the development, debugging, and monitoring of LLM applications, providing granular visibility into the nested execution steps of RAG pipelines and AI agents. It allows developers to trace complex chains, though it necessitates a trade-off between deep observability and the minor latency/cost overhead of logging telemetry data.
The observability and testing suite, distinct from the LangChain orchestration library.
