Semantic conventions for generative AI systems

Status: Development

[!Warning] The semantic conventions for GenAI and LLM are currently in development. We encourage instrumentation libraries and telemetry consumers developers to use the conventions in limited non-critical workloads and share the feedback

Semantic conventions for Generative AI operations are defined for the following signals:

• Events: Semantic Conventions for Generative AI inputs and outputs - events.
• Metrics: Semantic Conventions for Generative AI operations - metrics.
• Model spans: Semantic Conventions for Generative AI model operations - spans.
• Agent spans: Semantic Conventions for Generative AI agent operations - spans.

Technology specific semantic conventions are defined for the following GenAI system:

• Azure AI Inference: Semantic Conventions for Azure AI Inference.
• OpenAI: Semantic Conventions for OpenAI.
