Python AI / LLM Tracing

Learn how to set up highlight.io tracing for common Python AI / LLM libraries to automatically instrument model training, inference, and evaluation.
1
Supported Python libraries
# install and use your library in your code pip install openai pip install anthropic
Copy
2
Install the highlight-io python package.

Download the package from pypi and save it to your requirements. If you use a zip or s3 file upload to publish your function, you will want to make sure highlight-io is part of the build.

poetry add highlight-io
Copy
# or with pip pip install highlight-io
Copy
3
Initialize the Highlight SDK for your respective framework.

Setup the SDK. Supported libraries will be instrumented automatically.

import highlight_io # `instrument_logging=True` sets up logging instrumentation. # if you do not want to send logs or are using `loguru`, pass `instrument_logging=False` H = highlight_io.H( "<YOUR_PROJECT_ID>", instrument_logging=True, service_name="my-app", service_version="git-sha", environment="production", )

Instrument your code.

Setup a endpoint or function with HTTP trigger that utilizes the library you are trying to test. For example, if you are testing the requests library, you can setup a function that makes a request to a public API.

from openai import OpenAI import highlight_io from highlight_io.integrations.flask import FlaskIntegration # `instrument_logging=True` sets up logging instrumentation. # if you do not want to send logs or are using `loguru`, pass `instrument_logging=False` H = highlight_io.H( "<YOUR_PROJECT_ID>", instrument_logging=True, service_name="my-app", service_version="git-sha", environment="production", ) client = OpenAI() chat_history = [ {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."}, ] @highlight_io.trace def complete(message: str) -> str: chat_history.append({"role": "user", "content": message}) completion = client.chat.completions.create( model="gpt-4-turbo", messages=chat_history, ) chat_history.append( {"role": "assistant", "content": completion.choices[0].message.content} ) return completion.choices[0].message.content def main(): print(complete("What is the capital of the United States?")) if __name__ == "__main__": main() H.flush()
