Get Started in 30 Seconds

pip install genai-otel-instrument

import genai_otel
genai_otel.instrument()

# Your existing code works unchanged - traces, metrics, and costs are captured automatically
import openai
client = openai.OpenAI()
response = client.chat.completions.create(model="gpt-4o-mini", messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}])

That's it. No wrappers, no decorators, no config files. Every LLM call, database query, and agent interaction is automatically traced with full cost breakdown.

Key Features

Automatic Cost Tracking

1,050+ models across 30+ providers with per-request cost breakdown. Supports differential pricing (prompt vs completion), reasoning tokens, cache pricing, and custom model pricing.

# Cost tracking is enabled by default - just instrument and go
genai_otel.instrument()

# Or add custom pricing for proprietary models
export GENAI_CUSTOM_PRICING_JSON='{"chat":{"my-model":{"promptPrice":0.001,"completionPrice":0.002}}}'

GPU Metrics (NVIDIA + AMD)

Real-time monitoring of utilization, memory, temperature, power, PCIe throughput, throttling, and ECC errors. Multi-GPU aggregate metrics included.

pip install genai-otel-instrument[gpu]      # NVIDIA
pip install genai-otel-instrument[amd-gpu]  # AMD

Multi-Agent Tracing

Complete span hierarchy for agent frameworks with automatic context propagation:

Crew Execution
  +-- Agent: Senior Researcher (gpt-4)
  |     +-- Task: Research OpenTelemetry
  |           +-- openai.chat.completions (tokens: 1250, cost: $0.03)
  +-- Agent: Technical Writer (ollama:llama2)
        +-- Task: Write blog post
              +-- ollama.chat (tokens: 890, cost: $0.00)
