Feedback for “Observability and Tracing for the Vercel AI SDK”

[apetta]

Types aren't defined properly.

Also, the Vercel AI SDK integration docs are extremely confusing. Just provide a basic example for using the Vercel AI SDK standalone, not fused with Next.js + Vercel's infra...

[apetta]

Plus the integration docs doesn't clarify how much of this is needed to get going with Evals. Clarifying that would also be helpful

[apetta]

And what's the deal with all this?

 updateActiveObservation({
    input: inputText,
  });
 
  updateActiveTrace({
    name: "my-ai-sdk-trace",
    sessionId: chatId,
    userId,
    input: inputText,
  });

Is a wrapper not feasible? It's a lot of jank

[apetta]

All of this needs a rethink, it's pretty awful DX.

@apetta Thanks for your feedback - as for your type error, are you on the latest opentelemetry JS SDK versions?
