AI applications in production aren't just software — they're non-deterministic systems that demand a new observability dimension. At #GrafanaCON 2026, we unveiled AI Observability, o11y-bench, an expanded Grafana Assistant, and GCX to close the gap between building AI and actually running it reliably. "What changes with AI applications is there's this additional dimension that you want to be aware of, and that, in the case of AI, is somewhat related to it being non deterministic." — Jennifer Villa IT Brief Australia dives deep into how we're bringing real-time LLM monitoring, open-source agent benchmarking, and developer-native observability tooling to teams everywhere.
