A table displaying tracing data for a project named 'cibi-scan-dev'. The table includes columns for Name, Input, Output, Error, Start Time, Latency, Dataset, Annotation, and Tokens. The data shows multiple entries for 'analyze-scan' with different input values, output model 'gemini-3.1-flash-lite', and varying latency times. The 'Start Time' column indicates the date and time when each trace was initiated, and the 'Tokens' column shows the number of tokens used in each trace. The table is part of a tracing interface that allows users to monitor and evaluate the performance of different traces within the project.
