Annotating traces is a crucial aspect of evaluating and improving your LLM-based applications. By systematically recording qualitative or quantitative feedback on specific interactions or entire conversation flows, you can:
Track performance over time
Identify areas for improvement
Compare different model versions or prompts
Gather data for fine-tuning or retraining
Provide stakeholders with concrete metrics on system effectiveness
Phoenix allows you to annotate traces through the Client, the REST API, or the UI.
