OpenInference

OpenInference is an open-source specification and collection of instrumentation libraries that define how to record the behavior of AI applications, such as language model calls, tool calls, and retrieval, as traces. It builds on the distributed tracing standard OpenTelemetry and is led by Arize AI.

Because it provides instrumentation for many AI frameworks and model SDKs, the same trace format can be sent to different observability platforms without tying an application to a single vendor.
