singlepane-io/llm-exporter

The 'llm-exporter' is a utility-class project with currently zero stars or forks, indicating it is in its earliest stages. While the problem it solves (monitoring LLM costs and health via Prometheus) is a real pain point for SRE teams, the project lacks a moat. It faces intense competition from three directions: 1) Model Gateways like LiteLLM, which already include built-in Prometheus exporters and handle traffic routing; 2) Dedicated LLM observability platforms like Helicone, Portkey, and LangSmith that offer deeper tracing beyond simple metrics; and 3) Cloud providers (AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI) that integrate these metrics directly into CloudWatch or Azure Monitor. Since the project relies on polling public APIs for usage data—a commodity task—it is easily reproducible. Its survival depends on becoming a lightweight, 'un-opinionated' alternative for teams that don't want a full proxy layer, but it currently lacks the community momentum to challenge established tools.
