Helicone integrations

This page covers how to use the Helicone ecosystem within LangChain.

What is helicone?

Helicone is an open-source observability platform that proxies your OpenAI traffic and provides you key insights into your spend, latency and usage.

Quick start

With your LangChain environment you can just add the following parameter.

export OPENAI_API_BASE="https://oai.hconeai.com/v1"

Now head over to helicone.ai to create your account, and add your OpenAI API key within our dashboard to view your logs.

How to enable helicone caching

from langchain_openai import OpenAI
import openai
openai.api_base = "https://oai.hconeai.com/v1"

llm = OpenAI(temperature=0.9, headers={"Helicone-Cache-Enabled": "true"})
text = "What is a helicone?"
print(llm.invoke(text))
