OpenInference Vercel

This package provides utilities to ingest Vercel AI SDK spans into platforms like Arize and Phoenix.

Note: This package targets AI SDK v6 and is tested against v6 telemetry. Older versions (>= 3.3) are best-effort compatible.

AI SDK Compatibility

Installation

npm install --save @arizeai/openinference-vercel
Copy

You will also need to install OpenTelemetry and Vercel packages to your project.

npm i @opentelemetry/api @vercel/otel @opentelemetry/exporter-trace-otlp-proto @arizeai/openinference-semantic-conventions
Copy

Usage

@arizeai/openinference-vercel provides a set of utilities to help you ingest Vercel AI SDK spans into platforms and works in conjunction with Vercel's OpenTelemetry support. To get started, you will need to add OpenTelemetry support to your Vercel project according to their guide

To process your Vercel AI SDK Spans add a OpenInferenceSimpleSpanProcessor or OpenInferenceBatchSpanProcessor to your OpenTelemetry configuration.

// instrumentation.ts
import { registerOTel } from "@vercel/otel";
import { diag, DiagConsoleLogger, DiagLogLevel } from "@opentelemetry/api";
import {
  isOpenInferenceSpan,
  OpenInferenceSimpleSpanProcessor,
} from "@arizeai/openinference-vercel";
import { OTLPTraceExporter } from "@opentelemetry/exporter-trace-otlp-proto";
import { SEMRESATTRS_PROJECT_NAME } from "@arizeai/openinference-semantic-conventions";

// For troubleshooting, set the log level to DiagLogLevel.DEBUG
diag.setLogger(new DiagConsoleLogger(), DiagLogLevel.DEBUG);

export function register() {
  registerOTel({
    serviceName: "phoenix-next-app",
    attributes: {
      // This is not required but it will ensure your traces get added to a specific project in Arize Phoenix
      [SEMRESATTRS_PROJECT_NAME]: "your-next-app",
    },
    spanProcessors: [
      new OpenInferenceSimpleSpanProcessor({
        exporter: new OTLPTraceExporter({
          headers: {
            // API key if you are sending it to Phoenix Cloud
            api_key: process.env["PHOENIX_API_KEY"] || "",
            // API key if you are sending it to local Phoenix
            Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env["PHOENIX_API_KEY"]}` || "",
          },
          url:
            process.env["PHOENIX_COLLECTOR_ENDPOINT"] ||
            "https://app.phoenix.arize.com/v1/traces",
        }),
        spanFilter: (span) => {
          // Only export spans that are OpenInference to negate non-generative spans
          // This should be removed if you want to export all spans
          return isOpenInferenceSpan(span);
        },
      }),
    ],
  });
}
Copy

Now enable telemetry in your AI SDK calls by setting the experimental_telemetry parameter to true.

const result = await generateText({
  model: openai("gpt-4-turbo"),
  prompt: "Write a short story about a cat.",
  experimental_telemetry: { isEnabled: true },
});
