TruLens
Evaluate and Track Your LLM Experiments
Overview
TruLens is an open-source project from TruEra designed for the evaluation and tracking of large language model applications. It provides a set of tools to instrument and trace the execution of LLM apps, particularly those built with frameworks like LangChain and LlamaIndex. A key feature of TruLens is its 'feedback functions,' which allow developers to programmatically evaluate the quality of their applications on metrics like relevance, groundedness, and helpfulness. It helps teams understand the performance of their RAG systems and AI agents, and track improvements over time.
✨ Key Features

- RAG Triad Evaluation (Context Relevance, Groundedness, Answer Relevance)
- Feedback Functions for programmatic evaluation
- Experiment Tracking & Leaderboards
- Open Source
- Integrations with LangChain & LlamaIndex
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Focus on 'feedback functions' for programmatic evaluation
- The RAG Triad provides a clear framework for evaluating RAG systems
- Strong visualization and debugging tools for traces
- Backed by TruEra, a leader in AI quality and explainability
Unique Value: TruLens provides an open-source, evaluation-driven framework for developing reliable LLM applications, with powerful tools for understanding and improving the performance of complex systems like RAG and agents.
🎯 Use Cases (5)
✅ Best For
- Using the RAG Triad to evaluate a question-answering system
- Tracking the performance of different prompts in a leaderboard
- Instrumenting a LangChain agent to understand its decision-making process
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Real-time, large-scale production monitoring
- Security scanning and threat detection
🏆 Alternatives
TruLens offers a unique approach with its 'feedback functions,' which provide a more flexible and programmatic way to define evaluations compared to the pre-canned metrics of some other tools. Its focus on the RAG Triad is also a key differentiator for that specific use case.
