Your AI Is a Black Box, let's change that!

AI workloads are becoming part of every platform, and most teams can't tell what they're actually doing. A model call isn't a normal service call: non-deterministic, priced per token, wildly variable latency, and it can fail without erroring, dashboards stay green while cost and quality drift. We show how to instrument AI applications from day 0 with OpenTelemetry and Grafana AI Observability: traces through retrieval, tool calls and the model, plus token cost, latency and quality signals.
