The README presents MLflow as a platform to trace, evaluate and manage LLM and agent applications.

Source: https://github.com/mlflow/mlflow

What it supplies: The README presents MLflow as a platform to trace, evaluate and manage LLM and agent applications.

Useful for: - Trace LLM calls and inspect them in a local UI.
- Manage prompts and evaluate and monitor applications.

First action: - Run uvx mlflow server.
- Set the tracking URI and enable autolog for your client library.
- Run your code and open the UI on local port 5000.

Prerequisites and limits: The README quick start uses uv and an OpenAI client; the wizard needs a coding agent installed.

- Piping a shell script from the web runs remote code; inspect it first.
- Usage figures in the README were not verified.

The README licence badge points to LICENSE.txt in the repository; read it for the terms.

Written from the README text only. Statements are as the README gives them; nothing was installed or run.
Based on intro, get-started steps and licence badge README text; other sections were not read in full. Nothing was installed or run.
