Ever wondered what’s really happening inside your AI agent applications? 🤔 LangTrace offers a powerful, open-source solution to monitor, analyze, and optimize your agent’s performance. This breakdown unveils how to integrate LangTrace with CrewAI, providing invaluable insights into your AI agent’s inner workings.
1. Setting the Stage: CrewAI and LangTrace Installation 🛠️
Before diving in, ensure you have the necessary tools. Installing CrewAI and its tools is a breeze:
pip install crew-ai
pip install "crew-ai[tools]"
Next, create a new CrewAI project:
crew-ai create crew demo
Choose your preferred provider (e.g., OpenAI), select a model (e.g., GPT-4), and enter your API key. Easy peasy! 👌
2. Building a Simple Crew: Agents in Action 🤖
With the setup complete, open the config/agents.yaml file to define your agents. The provided template includes a researcher and a reporting analyst. Modify the topic variable in main.py to specify the research area. For instance:
topic = "AI LLMs"
Install and run the crew:
crew-ai install
crew-ai run
This generates a report.md file containing the research findings. But how can we gain deeper insights into the process? 🤔
3. Integrating LangTrace: Unveiling the Magic ✨
LangTrace provides the missing piece of the puzzle. Sign up at langtrace.ai and create a new project, selecting CrewAI and your chosen LLM (e.g., OpenAI). Install the LangTrace SDK:
pip install langtrace-python-sdk
Initialize the SDK in your main.py file using the provided code snippet from LangTrace. Rerun your crew:
crew-ai run
Now, the magic happens! ✨ LangTrace captures detailed information about your agent’s execution, revealing valuable performance metrics.
4. Decoding the Insights: Metrics and Traces 📊
Head back to your LangTrace dashboard. You’ll find a wealth of information, including:
- Model Usage: Discover which models were used and their associated costs. 💰
- Token Consumption: Track input, output, and total tokens used. 🧮
- Trace Details: Dive into the step-by-step execution of your agents, including time spent on each task. ⏱️
- CrewAI Dashboard: Enable the CrewAI project type in LangTrace settings for a dedicated dashboard with agent-specific performance metrics.
5. Experiment and Optimize: The Power of Knowledge 💪
LangTrace empowers you to experiment with different models and configurations, observing their impact on performance and cost. Try using different OpenAI models like GPT-4 and GPT-3.5-turbo to compare their performance:
# For the researcher
llm = "gpt-4"
# For the reporting analyst
llm = "gpt-3.5-turbo"
Observe the changes in cost, execution time, and token usage on your LangTrace dashboard. This data-driven approach allows you to fine-tune your AI agents for optimal efficiency and cost-effectiveness. 🚀
