Two cohere fixes, neither with an open issue. The span now records the three token attributes when a counter arrives as None. An embedding response now emits its gen_ai.choice event in event mode.

A token counter that arrives as None leaves all three token attributes unset

span_utils.py:198 read billed_units_dict.get("output_tokens", 0), which defaults only when the key is absent. Cohere's own model emits it present and None:

$ uv run python -c "from cohere.types import ApiMetaBilledUnits; print(ApiMetaBilledUnits(input_tokens=208).model_dump())"
{'images': None, 'input_tokens': 208.0, 'output_tokens': None, ...}

input_tokens + output_tokens then raises TypeError inside the @dont_throw wrapper, before it writes any of the three. The anthropic instrumentation writes usage.get("input_tokens", 0) or 0 at streaming.py:152. A rerank response bills only search_units, so its span now records 0 for all three where it recorded none.

An embedding response emits no choice event in event mode

event_emitter.py:162 reads elif llm_request_type == CHAT or COMPLETION. The right operand is a truthy enum member, so an EMBEDDING response reaches response.text, which it does not have. @dont_throw swallows the AttributeError before the emitter sends any choice event. The branch before it takes rerank. The fix makes the condition a membership test, defaults message to {} and reads the role with .get. An embedding event has neither.

  • I have added tests that cover my changes.
  • If adding a new instrumentation or changing an existing one, I've added screenshots from some observability platform showing the change.
    • No screenshot. The two tests above assert the token attributes and the gen_ai.choice event. Both fail with the two source files from f7082c8.
  • PR name follows conventional commits format.
  • (If applicable) I have updated the documentation accordingly.
    • No documentation describes either behaviour.

@doronkopit5 you merged every pull request here since August 10. Is 0 what you want on a rerank span, or should the three token attributes stay unset there?

Cohere's pydantic model emits billed_units counters present-but-None, and
.get(key, 0) only defaults when the key is absent. input_tokens + output_tokens
then raises TypeError inside set_span_response_attributes, which is @dont_throw
wrapped, so the raise is swallowed before any attribute is set and the span
loses total, completion and prompt tokens together.

  ApiMetaBilledUnits(input_tokens=208).model_dump()
    -> {'input_tokens': 208.0, 'output_tokens': None, ...}

The anthropic instrumentation already writes this as usage.get(k, 0) or 0, in
streaming.py.

Second defect in the same package. _parse_response_event branched on

  elif llm_request_type == LLMRequestTypeValues.CHAT or LLMRequestTypeValues.COMPLETION

whose right operand is a truthy enum member rather than a comparison, so the
condition never depended on llm_request_type and EMBEDDING and RERANK both
reached it. An embed response has no .text.

Making that a membership test exposed a second layer: with the branch correctly
skipped, event_params carried no message and ChoiceEvent raised TypeError:
missing 1 required positional argument. So event_params now defaults message to
an empty dict, and the condition fix does not trade one crash for another.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Cohere instrumentation now converts falsey billed token counts to zero and adjusts response event parsing for missing message data and request types. Tests cover billed token counts and event emission for an embedding response.

Changes

Cohere response and token handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Billed token count normalization
packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-cohere/opentelemetry/instrumentation/cohere/span_utils.py, packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-cohere/tests/test_token_usage.py
Cohere v5 and v2 billed input and output counts now use zero for falsey values. Tests check input-only billing and summed token counts.
Response event parsing
packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-cohere/opentelemetry/instrumentation/cohere/event_emitter.py, packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-cohere/tests/test_token_usage.py
Response events initialize an empty message, safely read the role, and extract response text only for chat or completion requests. A test checks the emitted event for an embedding response.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 72d4a

The Cohere changes handle missing token counters and preserve embedding event emission. No concrete merge-blocking risk remains; the unrelated failing Vertex AI test was removed rather than its pre-existing implementation defect being fixed.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Fix the async builder before asserting its completion content.

The supplied _abuild_from_streaming_response passes the exhausted response generator to handle_streaming_response, not complete_response. The response-attribute setter records that argument as completion content. Under the default legacy-attribute configuration, this assertion compares a generator with "Hello world" and fails. Pass complete_response from the async builder, as the synchronous builder does. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

…#4225

The test pins the async-streaming defect that traceloop#4225 fixes, and this change does not touch vertexai, so it failed here: 1 failed, 1 passed.
With the request-type branch fixed, an EMBEDDING response builds its choice event with an empty message, and _emit_choice_event read event.message["role"]. In event mode that KeyError was swallowed by @dont_throw and the event was lost, as the AttributeError on response.text lost it before. The role is now read with .get. The test drives emit_response_events and asserts the gen_ai.choice event reaches the exporter.

72d4af2 fixes the KeyError CodeRabbit reported: _emit_choice_event reads the role with .get, so an embedding response now reaches the exporter as a gen_ai.choice event in event mode. b837d99 removes the vertexai test file: this pull request changes no vertexai code, and its async case fails on the defect #4225 fixes. The description now says only embedding reached response.text; rerank takes the branch before it.

Is 0 what you want on a rerank span, or should the three token attributes stay unset there?
