MLflow now offers comprehensive OpenTelemetry integration, allowing you to use OpenTelemetry and MLflow seamlessly together for your observability stack.

  • Ingest OpenTelemetry spans directly into the MLflow tracking server
  • Monitor existing applications that are instrumented with OpenTelemetry
  • Choose Arbitrary Languages for your AI applications and trace them, including Java, Go, Rust, and more.
  • Create unified traces that combine MLflow SDK instrumentation with OpenTelemetry auto-instrumentation from third-party libraries

from mlflow.genai.agent_server import AgentServer

agent_server = AgentServer("ResponsesAgent")
app = agent_server.app

def main():
    agent_server.run(app_import_string="start_server:app")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
python3 start_server.py

curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/invocations \
   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
   -d '{
    "input": [{ "role": "user", "content": "What is the 14th Fibonacci number?"}],
    "stream": true
    }'

New agent server infrastructure for managing and deploying scoring agents with enhanced orchestration capabilities.
