OpenInference is a set of OpenTelemetry-based conventions and instrumentation plugins for tracing AI and LLM applications. It provides packages that instrument popular SDKs like OpenAI, LangChain, and LlamaIndex, exporting traces to any OpenTelemetry-compatible backend such as Arize Phoenix.

Use cases

  • trace llm calls in my python app
  • instrument langchain with opentelemetry
  • monitor llm application performance
  • add observability to rag pipelines
  • trace llamaindex retrieval and tool usage
  • export ai app traces to phoenix or any otel backend

When to choose

  • you need standardized OpenTelemetry tracing for LLM apps
  • you use supported frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex, or OpenAI SDK
  • you want vendor-neutral AI observability exportable to any OTel backend

When to avoid

  • you need a full observability UI rather than instrumentation libraries
  • your stack uses languages or frameworks without an available instrumentation package
