Building Pydantic Logfire - uncomplicated observability for Python. Sequoia Scout.

A few weeks ago our founder announced Monty, a minimal, secure Python interpreter written in Rust, for running code written by AI agents. People got excited. @sa.muelcolvin.com just wrote up the full story on why he's excited about it and you should be too. pydantic.dev/articles/pyd...

Pydantic Monty: A Minimal Python Sandbox for AI Agents | Pydantic

Meet Monty — a secure, minimal Python interpreter written in Rust for running AI-generated code. Learn where it sits between tool calling and full computer use, and why CodeMode matters for AI agents.

Rust continues its march to power all of the Python ecosystem... Samuel Colvin of @pydantic.dev just announced Monty, "a minimal, secure Python interpreter written in Rust for use by AI" Learn more about the 🐍 + 🦀 magic happening at Pydantic with our podcast linked below:

I wrote a tutorial on integrating DBOS with Logfire. It's super easy to set up (kudos to the @pydantic.dev team!) -> just a few lines to configure the exporter and your Logfire write token. Once it's running, you'll get a unified view of your app with logs + traces in one place.

Several people (thanks to @mitsuhiko.at and @sa.muelcolvin.com) noted early on that DBOS had too many dependencies. In the latest Python release, we trimmed it down to just 6 direct deps while still implementing durable workflows and queues in one library. It's lightweight (for real).

I'm chatting to Hugo Bowne-Anderson tomorrow about Human Seeded Evals and @logfire.pydantic.dev on Youtube at 4pm UK. I'm pretty confident something like the think I'm describing here is where we'll end up with evals. Please join, I'd love to hear what you think. lu.ma/voeyx7n1

Human-seeded Evals: Scaling Judgement with LLMs (with Samuel Colvin) · Luma

Everyone agrees evals are essential—but almost no one implements them rigorously. Why? They're hard to write, time-consuming, and brittle. Samuel Colvin,…

THE EVAL HAS LANDED. 🦅 pydantic-evals has been a major piece of work from David Montague over the last month. I'm pretty excited to see it move the dial on how easily Python developers can benchmark and improve AI code.

Pydantic Evals is a powerful evaluation framework designed to help you systematically test and evaluate the performance and accuracy of the systems you build, especially when working with LLMs. More info here: ai.pydantic.dev/evals/

Logfire's MCP server could fundamentally change how people complete the software development feedback loop: development -> runtime errors -> bug fix. Unlike other observability platforms, @logfire.pydantic.dev let's the model (or you!) write full SQL to find the relevant data.

Pydantic Logfire MCP Server is here! Easily hook your AI agents into observability data and supercharge debugging in real time. For Cursor integration, just update .cursor/mcp.json to use Logfire and you’re set: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCda... Full details: pydantic.dev/articles/mcp...
