OpenTelemetry GenAI Semantic Conventions in Practice
OTel's GenAI semantic conventions standardise AI observability. Here is what they cover and how Bhogar AI implements them.
BABhogar AI TeamProduct & Engineering
OpenTelemetry now has stable semantic conventions for GenAI. Adopting them future-proofs your observability and gives you portability across vendors.
Why it matters
The conventions cover prompt, response, model, tokens, errors, refusals - the things you actually want to filter and aggregate on.
How Bhogar AI approaches it
Bhogar AI emits OTel-compliant traces and metrics with the GenAI conventions out of the box, exportable to any OTLP backend.
- Prompt and response captured as span attributes
- Token counts and cost as metrics
- Refusal and error categorisation
- OTLP export to any backend
- Sampling tuned for AI workloads
What you get
AI observability that integrates with the wider OTel ecosystem and survives vendor changes.
