Hands-on with LangSmith: a real walkthrough

LLM-ops platform

We logged into the real, hosted version of LangSmith (US region) and worked through the same four steps we're using across every platform in this comparison: create a prompt, run it and inspect the trace, and build a small eval dataset. This post is just the LangSmith leg — screenshots, actual UI, no marketing copy. The main comparison post pulls the findings from LangSmith, Langfuse, PromptLayer, and AcruxCore together.
