Pydantic Logfire is an AI observability platform built on OpenTelemetry that traces LLM calls, agent runs, and application telemetry in one correlated timeline, queryable with SQL. It includes evaluation tooling (datasets, experiments, live evals, human review) and a Python SDK with integrations for Pydantic AI, OpenAI, Anthropic, FastAPI, and other OTel-instrumented stacks.

Use cases

  • trace llm calls and agent runs in production
  • monitor ai application quality with evals
  • debug slow agent tool calls and model requests
  • observe python app traces logs and metrics with opentelemetry
  • run offline and online evaluations of llm systems
  • review and annotate agent runs by hand
  • query telemetry data with sql
  • instrument openai or anthropic sdk calls

When to choose

  • you want unified observability for both your backend and LLM/agent stack in one trace
  • you use Python, Pydantic, Pydantic AI, or FastAPI and want first-class instrumentation
  • you need production evals, live monitoring, and human review of agent outputs
  • you prefer OpenTelemetry compatibility and SQL-based querying of telemetry

When to avoid

  • you need a fully self-hosted open-source observability stack with no hosted component (the server is proprietary; only the SDK is MIT)
  • your stack is non-Python and you want deep language-specific insights
  • you need a free unlimited-volume solution for very high telemetry volumes beyond 10M records/month
  • you want a vendor-neutral tool you can point at any existing OTel backend without a Logfire account
