OpenTelemetry
DesignThe native path. GenAI semantic conventions in, portable spans out.
#GenAI semantic conventions
Telemeter adopts the OpenTelemetry GenAI semantic conventions (gen_ai.*) as its ingestion standard. If you emit conformant spans, they map to the canonical event with no translation layer — and they stay valid telemetry even if you never use Telemeter.
The free OTel validator checks a pasted trace against the current conventions and shows exactly what fails.
