latence 0.2.0

Thin Python SDK for Latence TRACE.

Latence TRACE Python SDK

Real-time safety for knowledge agents. Groundedness verification, privacy redaction, and context compression — without replacing your stack.

PyPI · Quickstart · Integrations · Examples · Website

pip install latence

from latence import Latence

trace = Latence(api_key="lat_...")

score = trace.grounding.rag(
    query="Can I promise this customer a refund?",
    response_text="Yes, the refund will arrive within 48 hours.",
    raw_context="Refunds require manual finance approval before timelines are promised.",
)

print(score.risk_band)
print(score.runtime_decision)

What TRACE Does

• Groundedness — verify RAG answers against retrieved context.
• Compression — reduce long context to what matters.
• Privacy — redact private data before it spreads through tools, logs, or prompts.

Getting Started

export LATENCE_TRACE_API_KEY="lat_..."

from latence import Latence

trace = Latence()

The SDK connects to https://api.latence.ai by default. Override with base_url or LATENCE_TRACE_URL.

API Surface

# Groundedness scoring
score = trace.grounding.rag(query=..., response_text=..., raw_context=...)

# Privacy redaction
redacted = trace.privacy.redact(text=...)

# Context compression
compressed = trace.compression.text(text=..., compression_rate=0.4)

Latence is synchronous. AsyncLatence exposes the same surface for asyncio services.

Base dependencies are only httpx and pydantic.

Direct calls are the recommended path. Optional helpers live under latence.integrations.
