Wraps LLM application methods using the @instrument decorator to automatically generate structured OpenTelemetry spans (RECORD_ROOT, GENERATION, RETRIEVAL, EVAL) without modifying core application logic. The decorator integrates with a TracerProvider that captures execution context, method inputs/outputs, and timing metadata, then exports spans to configured backends (SQLite, PostgreSQL, Snowflake). This enables zero-friction observability for framework-agnostic applications.
Unique: Uses a decorator-based instrumentation model that generates structured OTEL spans with semantic span kinds (GENERATION, RETRIEVAL, EVAL) specific to LLM workflows, rather than generic HTTP/RPC spans. Integrates directly with TruSession for unified span collection and evaluation lifecycle management.
vs alternatives: Simpler than manual OTEL instrumentation and more LLM-aware than generic APM tools; requires less boilerplate than Langsmith's tracing while maintaining OTEL standard compliance.
Computes evaluation metrics (groundedness, relevance, coherence, custom metrics) by executing feedback functions that call LLM APIs with structured prompts. The Feedback class defines metric logic; LLMProvider interface abstracts over OpenAI, Bedrock, Cortex, HuggingFace, and LiteLLM endpoints. Evaluation runs asynchronously via a background Evaluator thread, storing results linked to application spans. Supports both synchronous (blocking) and deferred (async) evaluation modes.
Unique: Abstracts LLM provider selection behind LLMProvider interface, enabling same feedback function to run against OpenAI, Bedrock, Cortex, or local models without code changes. Integrates evaluation lifecycle with span collection via RunManager, enabling automatic metric computation on application traces.
vs alternatives: More flexible than Langsmith's built-in metrics (supports custom LLM providers and deferred evaluation); more integrated than standalone evaluation frameworks (metrics tied directly to application spans and session lifecycle).
Exports OTEL spans directly to Snowflake event tables for server-side querying and analysis. SnowflakeEventTableDB connector implements DBConnector interface, batching span exports asynchronously. Enables server-side evaluation pipeline where feedback functions execute in Snowflake Cortex (LLM provider) rather than client-side, reducing data transfer and enabling SQL-based metric computation. Integrates with Snowflake's native OTEL support.
Unique: Exports OTEL spans directly to Snowflake event tables and enables server-side evaluation in Snowflake Cortex, avoiding data export and enabling native SQL querying. Tighter integration than generic OTEL exporters.
vs alternatives: More efficient than client-side evaluation for large-scale deployments; enables SQL-based analytics on trace data within data warehouse.
RunManager class orchestrates application runs, tracking run metadata (ID, timestamp, app name, version), linking spans and metrics to runs, and managing run lifecycle. Supports external agent integration for distributed evaluation — agents can retrieve pending runs, execute feedback functions, and report results back to central database. Enables horizontal scaling of evaluation workload across multiple workers.
Unique: Provides RunManager for tracking run lifecycle and metadata, with support for external agents to execute distributed evaluation. Enables horizontal scaling of evaluation workload.
vs alternatives: More integrated than generic job queues; provides run-level abstraction specific to LLM evaluation workflows.
This package (trulens-eval) provides backwards-compatible API for applications built against trulens_eval<1.0.0, mapping old API calls to new trulens-core>=1.0.0 implementations. Enables existing applications to upgrade without code changes. Acts as compatibility shim during migration period, allowing gradual adoption of new API.
Unique: Provides compatibility shim mapping trulens_eval<1.0.0 API to trulens-core>=1.0.0 implementations, enabling zero-change upgrades for existing applications.
vs alternatives: Enables gradual migration path vs requiring immediate rewrite; reduces upgrade friction for existing users.
TruSession class provides centralized orchestration for database connections, OTEL setup, evaluation scheduling, and run lifecycle. Manages DBConnector abstraction (SQLAlchemy, Snowflake event tables) for span/metric persistence, coordinates Evaluator thread for async feedback execution, and maintains context across application invocations. Session acts as entry point for developers: initialize once, wrap application, retrieve results.
Unique: Centralizes database, OTEL, and evaluation orchestration in single TruSession object that manages DBConnector abstraction, Evaluator thread lifecycle, and run context. Enables context manager pattern (with statement) for automatic resource cleanup.
vs alternatives: Simpler than manual OTEL setup and database connection management; more integrated than standalone database libraries because it couples persistence with evaluation scheduling and span collection.
DBConnector interface abstracts storage backend selection (SQLAlchemy for SQLite/PostgreSQL/MySQL, SnowflakeEventTableDB for Snowflake). Stores spans, feedback metrics, and run metadata in normalized schema. SQLAlchemy backend uses ORM models for relational storage; Snowflake backend exports OTEL spans directly to event tables for server-side querying. Enables schema migrations and versioning for database evolution.
Unique: Provides DBConnector abstraction that supports both relational (SQLAlchemy) and cloud-native (Snowflake event tables) backends with unified API. Snowflake backend exports OTEL spans directly to event tables, enabling server-side querying without ETL.
vs alternatives: More flexible than single-backend solutions; Snowflake integration is deeper than generic OTEL exporters because it uses event table schema optimized for trace data.
Provides framework-specific wrapper classes (TruChain for LangChain, TruGraph for LangGraph, TruLlama for LlamaIndex, TruBasicApp/TruCustomApp for custom apps) that intercept application execution and generate semantically-typed spans (GENERATION for LLM calls, RETRIEVAL for vector search, EVAL for feedback). Wrappers preserve original framework APIs while injecting instrumentation transparently.
Unique: Provides framework-specific wrappers that generate semantically-typed spans (GENERATION, RETRIEVAL, EVAL) tailored to LLM workflows, rather than generic function call spans. Wrappers intercept framework-level operations (LLM calls, vector search) to assign correct span kinds automatically.
vs alternatives: More semantic than generic OTEL instrumentation; more framework-aware than manual span creation; preserves original framework APIs unlike some observability solutions that require code rewriting.

ChatGPT utilizes a transformer-based architecture to generate responses based on the context of the conversation. It employs attention mechanisms to weigh the importance of different parts of the input text, allowing it to maintain context over multiple turns of dialogue. This enables it to provide coherent and contextually relevant responses that evolve as the conversation progresses.
Unique: ChatGPT's use of fine-tuning on conversational datasets allows it to better understand nuances in dialogue compared to other models that may not be specifically trained for conversation.
vs alternatives: More contextually aware than many rule-based chatbots, as it leverages deep learning for understanding and generating human-like dialogue.
ChatGPT employs a multi-layered neural network that analyzes user input to identify intent dynamically. It uses embeddings to represent user queries and matches them against a vast array of learned intents, enabling it to adapt responses based on the user's needs in real-time. This capability allows for more personalized and relevant interactions.
Unique: The model's ability to leverage contextual embeddings for intent recognition sets it apart from simpler keyword-based systems, allowing for a more nuanced understanding of user queries.
vs alternatives: More effective than traditional keyword matching systems, as it understands context and intent rather than relying solely on predefined keywords.
ChatGPT manages multi-turn dialogues by maintaining a conversation history that informs its responses. It uses a sliding window approach to keep track of recent exchanges, ensuring that the context remains relevant and coherent. This allows it to handle complex interactions where user queries may refer back to previous statements.
ChatGPT scores higher at 43/100 vs trulens-eval at 24/100. However, trulens-eval offers a free tier which may be better for getting started.
