Anthropic Tracing

Anthropic is a leading provider for state-of-the-art LLMs. The Anthropic SDK can be instrumented using the openinference-instrumentation-anthropic package.

Install

pip install openinference-instrumentation-anthropic anthropic

Setup

Use the register function to connect your application to Phoenix:

from phoenix.otel import register

# configure the Phoenix tracer
tracer_provider = register(
  project_name="my-llm-app", # Default is 'default'
  auto_instrument=True # Auto-instrument your app based on installed OI dependencies
)

Run Anthropic

A simple Anthropic application that is now instrumented

import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic()

message = client.messages.create(
    model="claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620",
    max_tokens=1000,
    temperature=0,
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": [
                {
                    "type": "text",
                    "text": "Why is the ocean salty?"
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
)
print(message.content)

Observe

Now that you have tracing setup, all invocations of pipelines will be streamed to your running Phoenix for observability and evaluation.

Sign up for Phoenix:

Sign up for an Arize Phoenix account at https://app.phoenix.arize.com/login
Click Create Space, then follow the prompts to create and launch your space.

Install packages:

pip install arize-phoenix-otel

Set your Phoenix endpoint and API Key:

From your new Phoenix Space

Create your API key from the Settings page
Copy your Hostname from the Settings page
In your code, set your endpoint and API key:

import os

os.environ["PHOENIX_API_KEY"] = "ADD YOUR PHOENIX API KEY"
os.environ["PHOENIX_COLLECTOR_ENDPOINT"] = "ADD YOUR PHOENIX HOSTNAME"

# If you created your Phoenix Cloud instance before June 24th, 2025,
# you also need to set the API key as a header:
# os.environ["PHOENIX_CLIENT_HEADERS"] = f"api_key={os.getenv('PHOENIX_API_KEY')}"

Having trouble finding your endpoint? Check out Finding your Phoenix Endpoint

Launch your local Phoenix instance:

pip install arize-phoenix
phoenix serve

For details on customizing a local terminal deployment, see Terminal Setup.

Install packages:

pip install arize-phoenix-otel

Set your Phoenix endpoint:

import os

os.environ["PHOENIX_COLLECTOR_ENDPOINT"] = "http://localhost:6006"

See Terminal for more details.

Pull latest Phoenix image from Docker Hub:

docker pull arizephoenix/phoenix:latest

Run your containerized instance:

docker run -p 6006:6006 arizephoenix/phoenix:latest

This will expose the Phoenix on localhost:6006

Install packages:

pip install arize-phoenix-otel

Set your Phoenix endpoint:

import os

os.environ["PHOENIX_COLLECTOR_ENDPOINT"] = "http://localhost:6006"

For more info on using Phoenix with Docker, see Docker.

Install packages:

pip install arize-phoenix

Launch Phoenix:

import phoenix as px
px.launch_app()

By default, notebook instances do not have persistent storage, so your traces will disappear after the notebook is closed. See self-hosting or use one of the other deployment options to retain traces.
