New Relic has launched the industry’s first observability solution designed for DeepSeek, aiming to reduce the complexity and costs of developing, deploying, and monitoring generative AI (GenAI) applications. The solution, available for both DeepSeek and DeepSeek on Microsoft Azure AI Foundry, enables businesses to gain comprehensive visibility across their AI stacks through a streamlined setup while ensuring data security. With DeepSeek’s open-source, cost-efficient models enhancing AI accessibility, the integration is expected to help enterprises adopt AI at a faster pace and achieve a quicker return on investment (ROI).
By combining New Relic’s observability expertise with DeepSeek’s advanced models, organisations can optimise their AI performance, improve cost management, and innovate more efficiently.
Addressing the need for optimised AI model deployment
Gartner projects that over 80% of enterprises will use or deploy GenAI applications by 2026, creating a highly competitive market. Organisations often juggle hundreds of models simultaneously, increasing the pressure to choose the right AI models for specific use cases. Quick deployment of optimal models is now crucial for maintaining a competitive advantage.
New Relic’s AI monitoring solution offers a comprehensive view of the AI application stack, covering services, infrastructure, and AI layers. This visibility ensures smoother, cost-effective operations.
New Relic CEO Ashan Willy explained, “There are a steady release of new models like DeepSeek, Alibaba’s Qwen2.5-Max, and more, and organisations cannot afford to make the wrong AI implementation decisions in today’s hyper-competitive market. Observability solves this challenge by providing visibility across the AI stack. We are pioneering AI observability and extending our platform to include AI apps built with DeepSeek so enterprises can make the right decisions on which AI models to deploy and where to use them. Combining DeepSeek’s cost-effective AI models with our expertise in observability and APM gives enterprises a competitive edge in the AI race.”
Enhancing AI application performance with better monitoring
AI applications often lead to complex tech stacks, higher security risks, and increased operational costs. To address this, New Relic AI monitoring provides businesses with a holistic view of their AI operations. The platform offers key performance metrics, such as throughput, latency, and cost tracking, while maintaining data privacy. It also traces the flow of requests across different services and models, giving teams a clear picture of how their AI applications function.
New Relic’s integration with DeepSeek simplifies AI implementation by offering features that help organisations select, compare, and optimise models. As the AI market continues to expand and become more competitive, this partnership offers a much-needed solution for managing costs and ensuring efficient operations.
According to New Relic, the benefits of this integration include:
- Reliability and performance assurance: Full visibility into the performance of AI applications powered by DeepSeek, enabling faster issue resolution.
- Cost optimisation: By combining New Relic’s insights with DeepSeek’s cost-effective models, businesses can reduce AI development expenses through token usage monitoring.
- Confident model switching: Unique model comparison features allow users to assess how changes in models affect app performance and token usage.
- Accelerated AI innovation: The collaboration between New Relic and DeepSeek fosters quicker AI development and deployment.
Strengthening AI partnerships and integrations
This collaboration adds to New Relic’s extensive ecosystem of AI partnerships, which already includes over 60 integrations such as Nvidia NIM, Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI, Claude, LangChain, and Pinecone. These partnerships make New Relic’s observability platform one of the most comprehensive in the industry, providing robust support for enterprises navigating the AI landscape.
The AI monitoring feature is available through New Relic’s all-in-one observability platform, offered under its usage-based pricing model.
