Hi @samuelcolvin, Apologies if our recent PR came across as content spam — that was certainly not our intent. I’m Ayush, Manager of AI Engineering at Weights & Biases. I wanted to briefly explain the context and also understand your perspective on what might make this a better fit, or why it might not be. W&B Weave provides an observability layer for agentic workflows, with integrations across various LLM frameworks and providers. Recently, we added support for OpenTelemetry (OTEL)-compatible traces, and as part of that, we documented how PydanticAI users can use Weave to visualize and debug traces: https://weave-docs.wandb.ai/guides/integrations/pydantic_ai. As longtime fans and users of Pydantic — and now PydanticAI — our goal with the PR was to share this integration with your users, not to push any marketing agenda. If the placement or method was inappropriate, we completely understand and are happy to adjust. Separately, if possible, I’d also like to kindly request reconsideration of the block on @parambharat from the Pydantic org. He’s a thoughtful and skilled engineer, and we’d love for him to be able to both use and potentially contribute to the project. If you’re open to it, I’d really appreciate the chance to connect and explore whether there’s a way we could collaborate more meaningfully in the future. Thanks for your time, |
