Tracing for Claude Managed Agents and Atomic Agents
October 15 to 16, 2026 New integration guides; no Phoenix upgrade required Two more agent stacks can send traces to Phoenix.- Claude Managed Agents. Add an Arize Phoenix destination in the Claude Console to export agent turns, model requests, and sandbox tool calls with no code changes. Phoenix converts the OpenTelemetry GenAI spans to OpenInference when they arrive. Trace the Claude SDK from your application too, and each session nests inside your own trace.
- Atomic Agents. Version 2.11.0+ ships its own OpenInference instrumentor, which emits an
AGENTspan per agent run and aTOOLspan per tool call.register(auto_instrument=True)picks it up automatically.

Session turns, model requests, and sandbox tool calls arrive in Phoenix as one trace

Gemini 4 Argon and Meta Muse Wonder 1.0
October 15, 2026 Available in arize-phoenix 20.22.0+ You can pick both models in the playground, and Phoenix prices their spans from its built-in model price list.- Gemini 4 Argon (
gemini-4-argon) appears under the Google provider. - Muse Wonder 1.0 (
muse-wonder-1.0) appears under the Meta provider.
Using the Playground
Pick a model and compare prompts side by side

Export Phoenix Server Logs over OTLP
October 16, 2026 Available in arize-phoenix 20.23.0+ Send the Phoenix server’s own logs to an OpenTelemetry collector, next to the server traces you may already export. SetPHOENIX_SERVER_INSTRUMENTATION_OTLP_LOG_COLLECTOR_HTTP_ENDPOINT or PHOENIX_SERVER_INSTRUMENTATION_OTLP_LOG_COLLECTOR_GRPC_ENDPOINT to turn it on.
- Logs carry trace and span IDs, so your observability backend can link each log line to the server request that produced it.
- Endpoints follow the trace collector variables. HTTP endpoints get
/v1/logsappended. gRPC endpoints without a scheme connect over TLS, so prefix a plaintext collector withhttp://.
Configuration
All server environment variables
Additional Improvements
October 14 to 16, 2026 Available in arize-phoenix 20.21.4–20.23.0- OAuth2 sign-in completes on the first try when an identity provider login happens in the middle of an authorization flow, because Phoenix keeps its
SameSite=Strictsession cookies. - Bedrock tool results reach the model as text in the playground, so tool output that is not valid JSON no longer fails the request.
- Pressing Escape keeps prompt and dataset labels instead of removing every label from the item.
- Dataset labels no longer need a description when you create them.
- Sorting projects by last updated shows the newest projects first on the first click.
