running open-weight models on their own GPUs because it combines LLM telemetry with GPU monitoring.[1]\n\n5. **Helicone** — https://helicone.ai \n A practical open-source gateway for monitoring model requests, latency, costs, caching, and provider usage.[3][4]\n\n6. **Lunary** — https://lunary.ai \n Good lightweight option for prompt tracking, request analytics, evaluations, and production LLM monitoring.[3]\n\n**Bottom line:** Choose **OpenObserve** for broad infrastructure-plus-LLM observability; choose **Langfuse** if you want the most focused LLM engineering and evaluation workflow.[1][2]", "brands": [ { "name": "OpenObserve", "domain": "openobserve.ai" }, { "name": "Langfuse", "domain": "langfuse.com" }, { "name": "Arize Phoenix", "domain": "phoenix.arize.com" }, {
