OpenInference Instructor Instrumentation

pypi

Python auto-instrumentation library for the Instructor library.

These traces are fully OpenTelemetry compatible and can be sent to an OpenTelemetry collector for viewing, such as Arize Phoenix or Arize AX.

Installation

pip install openinference-instrumentation-instructor

Quickstart

This quickstart shows you how to instrument Instructor

Install required packages.

pip install instructor arize-phoenix opentelemetry-sdk opentelemetry-exporter-otlp

Start Phoenix in the background as a collector. By default, it listens on http://localhost:6006. You can visit the app via a browser at the same address. (Phoenix does not send data over the internet. It only operates locally on your machine.)

python -m phoenix.server.main serve

Set up InstructorInstrumentor to trace your application and send the traces to Phoenix at the endpoint defined below.

from opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.http.trace_exporter import OTLPSpanExporter
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace import TracerProvider
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.export import SimpleSpanProcessor

endpoint = "http://127.0.0.1:6006/v1/traces"
tracer_provider = TracerProvider()
tracer_provider.add_span_processor(SimpleSpanProcessor(OTLPSpanExporter(endpoint)))
from openinference.instrumentation.instructor import InstructorInstrumentor
from openinference.instrumentation.openai import OpenAIInstrumentor

InstructorInstrumentor().instrument(tracer_provider=tracer_provider)

# Optionally instrument the OpenAI SDK to get additional observability
OpenAIInstrumentor().instrument(tracer_provider=tracer_provider)

Simple Instructor example

import instructor
from pydantic import BaseModel
from openai import OpenAI


# Define your desired output structure
class UserInfo(BaseModel):
    name: str
    age: int


# Patch the OpenAI client
client = instructor.from_openai(OpenAI())

# Extract structured data from natural language
user_info = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
    response_model=UserInfo,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "John Doe is 30 years old."}],
)
