WHAT THIS AGENT DOES

Openinference provides OpenTelemetry instrumentation specifically designed for AI observability. It helps developers instrument their AI applications to gain insights into their performance and behavior. This tool is particularly useful for those working with large language models and AI agents. By leveraging OpenTelemetry, developers can easily collect and analyze telemetry data, enabling better monitoring and debugging of their AI systems. It supports various AI frameworks and tools, facilitating comprehensive observability across the AI development lifecycle.

PROBLEM IT SOLVES

Instrumenting AI applications for observability can be complex and time-consuming. Openinference simplifies this process by providing pre-built OpenTelemetry instrumentation, allowing developers to quickly gain insights into their AI models and agents without manual configuration.

OpenInference is a set of conventions and plugins that is complimentary to [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/) to
enable tracing of AI applications. OpenInference is natively supported
by [arize-phoenix](https://github.com/Arize-ai/phoenix), but can be used with any OpenTelemetry-compatible backend as
well.

## Specification

The OpenInference specification is edited in markdown files found in the [spec directory](./spec/). It's designed to
provide insight into the invocation of LLMs and the surrounding application context such as retrieval from vector stores
and the usage of external tools such as search engines or APIs. The specification is transport and file-format agnostic,
and is intended to be used in conjunction with other specifications such as JSON, ProtoBuf, and DataFrames.

## Instrumentation

OpenInference provides a set of instrumentations for popular machine learning SDKs and frameworks in a variety of
languages.
