About Langfuse

  • Open Source LLM Engineering Platform that helps teams build useful AI applications via tracing, evaluation, and prompt management (mission, product)

  • We have the chance to build the "Datadog" of this category; model capabilities continue to improve but building useful applications is really hard, both in startups and enterprises
