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. ## Details - **Start:** 2026\-10\-01T12:00:00\.000Z - **End:** 2026\-10\-01T13:00:00\.000Z - **Location:** Online - **Attendance:** online - **Language:** en - **Price:** Free - **Audience:** Developers, Broad Public, Researchers, SREs, AI Engineers, Business Leaders - **Event page:** Canonical:
