LLM app Observability: Opentelemetry as a standard

LLM observability is broken There are too many new libraries floating around, but they don't follow accurately the OpenTelemetry conventions. OTel isn’t perfect for LLMs yet—but extending a proven standard beats inventing another one. Why not use the same standard (OTel) which works so well for rest of the apps, and just work on top of it?
