7. LLMxRay

AI Chatbots · Conversational AI

Best for: Developers running local models in Ollama who want to see why responses are slow or bad.

Pros

  • Free and open source (Apache-2.0), and starts with one command (npx llmxray) or Docker
  • Shows token-by-token streaming with speed coloring, plus automatic flags for repetition, refusals, gibberish and truncation
  • Can sit in front of Ollama so tools like VS Code Copilot, Open WebUI or Continue send traffic through it, showing prompt size and cache behavior per turn

Biggest catch

Built for Ollama only: you need it running locally with a model pulled

Skip it if: You use hosted APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic) rather than local models; a cloud LLM observability tool fits better.

Starting price: Free, open source (Apache-2.0). (checked Oct 14, 2026)
