This section explains the main concepts in Langtail. If you are new to LLMs or prompt development, start from this glossary to familiarize yourself with the terminology.
A single execution of a deployment. This allows you to see some metadata, the request to Langtail, the request to the provider, and the response from the provider.
Magic buttons are kind of an easter egg hidden all over a Langtail UI. This button will usually help you enhance your prompts, generate test cases, and do other useful stuff via LLM. Let us know how many you’ve found!
A single version of a prompt which includes everything except for the messages entered in the playground. A user can revert back to a version at any time.
Company or organization that develops, trains, and offers access to the underlying language model, such as OpenAI (for GPT models), Google (for LaMDA), or Anthropic (for Claude).
A single custom function definition. Based on the user message, the provider can invoke this function to get external data or provide extra functionality.
Settings for a workspace where you can manage members and provider keys.
