Semantic conventions for Generative AI operations are defined for the following signals:

* [Events](gen-ai-events.md): Semantic Conventions for Generative AI inputs and outputs - *events*.
* [Metrics](gen-ai-metrics.md): Semantic Conventions for Generative AI operations - *metrics*.
* [Model spans](gen-ai-spans.md): Semantic Conventions for Generative AI model operations - *spans*.
* [Agent spans](gen-ai-agent-spans.md): Semantic Conventions for Generative AI agent operations - *spans*.

Technology specific semantic conventions are defined for the following GenAI system:

* [Azure AI Inference](./azure-ai-inference.md): Semantic Conventions for Azure AI Inference.
* [OpenAI](./openai.md): Semantic Conventions for OpenAI.
