Tracing function calls

In this sample, we will show how to use Azure OpenAI Assistants with Prompt Flow.

Prerequisites:

• Python 3.11
• Conda
• Azure CLI
• AI Studio Hub & Project with an Azure OpenAI endpoint (OPENAI_API_BASE, OPENAI_API_KEY) in a region that supports assistants with an 1106 model or better -- I recommend creating it in Sweden central.
• Deployments of OpenAI models:
  • deployment of gpt-4-1106-preview/gpt-35-turbo-1106 or later for use by the OpenAI assistant. Both work, but gpt-35-turbo-1106 is faster and gpt-4-1106-preview is more accurate. (OPENAI_ASSISTANT_MODEL)
  • deployment of gpt-35-turbo-1106 or later for use by the Data Analyst to perform some limited NL to SQL. (OPENAI_ANALYST_CHAT_MODEL)
• Azure Application Insights (APPINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING)

Copy .env.sample to .env and fill in the values:

OPENAI_API_TYPE="azure"
OPENAI_API_VERSION="2024-02-15-preview"
OPENAI_API_BASE="https://***.openai.azure.com/"
OPENAI_API_KEY="******************"
OPENAI_ASSISTANT_MODEL="gpt-35-turbo-1106"
OPENAI_ANALYST_CHAT_MODEL="gpt-35-turbo-1106"
OPENAI_ASSISTANT_ID="asst_0leWabwuOmzsNVG5Kst1CpeV" <-- you will create this further down
APPINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING="InstrumentationKey=***;IngestionEndpoint=https://****.in.applicationinsights.azure.com/;LiveEndpoint=https://****"

Install dependencies

conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate assistant

Then install the pre-release version of azure-monitor-opentelemetry-exporter

pip install azure-monitor-opentelemetry-exporter --pre

Create an OpenAI assistant

Create an OpenAI assistant using the setup.py script

python src/assistant_flow/setup.py

This should ouput something like this:

OPENAI_API_KEY ******
OPENAI_API_BASE https://******.openai.azure.com

Assistant created with id asst_wgEXCRBQ7E4BfznSkGgJy41k
add the following to your .env file
OPENAI_ASSISTANT_ID="asst_wgEXCRBQ7E4BfznSkGgJy41k"

You should go to your Azure AI Studio project and check that the assistant was actually created -- it should look like this:

Then do as suggested on the console by adding the provided line OPENAI_ASSISTANT_ID="asst_*****" to the .env file.

Test the Assistant Flow

You can test that the flow is working correctly by running the following command:

pf flow test --flow assistant_flow.chat:chat_completion --ui

This will start the prompt flow service (pfs) and provide a URL to the chat UI. The console output will be similar to this:

Prompt flow service has started...
You can begin chat flow on http://127.0.0.1:23333/v1.0/ui/chat?flow=L1VzZXJzL2RhbmllbHNjL2dpdC9hc3Npc3RhbnQtcGYtZGVtby9zcmMvYXNzaXN0YW50X2Zsb3cvZmxvdy5kYWcueWFtbA%3D%3D

You can ask the assistant questions like:

get the order numbers by month for the last year and plot it in a line chart using matplotlib. Make sure to use the month names in the plot.

Run the Chainlit sample app

The sample app uses chainlit to build a simple chat UI that is capable of displaying images. The app is started like so:

python src/app.py

The console output will be similar to this (port numbers might differ):

2024-05-01 20:49:19 - Loaded .env file
2024-05-01 20:49:21 - collection: assistant-test
2024-05-01 20:49:21 - resource attributes: {'service.name': 'promptflow', 'collection': 'assistant-test'}
2024-05-01 20:49:21 - tracer provider is set with resource attributes: {'service.name': 'promptflow', 'collection': 'assistant-test'}
Starting prompt flow service...
Start prompt flow service on port 23334, version: 1.10.0.
You can stop the prompt flow service with the following command:'pf service stop'.
Alternatively, if no requests are made within 1 hours, it will automatically stop.
2024-03-30 11:15:14 - Your app is available at http://localhost:8000

Open two browser tabs, one to http://localhost:8000 and one to http://localhost:23334/v1.0/ui/traces/

Should be able to chat with the assistant in the chat UI and see the traces in the other tab.

Sequence Diagram

Here is an example of a sequence diagram that illustrates the flow of an assistant interaction with the Sales Data Insights tool. The flow starts with the frontend asking for a line chart of sales data. The Promptflow service then calls the assistant to get the sales data. The assistant then calls the Sales Data Insights tool to get the sales data. The Sales Data Insights tool then calls a SQL database to get the data. The data is then passed back to the assistant, which then calls the Code Interpreter tool to generate the line chart. The line chart is then passed back to the frontend. The flow is illustrated below:

    actor Frontend
    participant Promptflow
    participant SalesDataInsights
    box Azure OpenAI Service    
        participant Assistant
        participant CodeInterpreter
    end
    
    Frontend->>Promptflow: show me sales data in a line chart
    activate Promptflow
    Promptflow->>Assistant: show me sales data in a line chart
    activate Assistant
    loop 
        Assistant->>Assistant: call LLM
    end
    Assistant-->>Promptflow: tool_call: SDI("get sales data")
    deactivate Assistant
    Promptflow-->Frontend: notify:calling SDI("get sales data") 
    Promptflow->>SalesDataInsights:  get sales data
    activate SalesDataInsights
    loop 
        SalesDataInsights->>SalesDataInsights: call SQL
    end
    SalesDataInsights-->>Promptflow: ["sales", "data", "in", "json", "format"]
    deactivate SalesDataInsights
    Promptflow->>Assistant: tool_reply: ["sales", ...] 
    activate Assistant
    loop 
        Assistant->>Assistant: call LLM
    end
    Assistant->>CodeInterpreter: "import matplotlib ...."
    CodeInterpreter-->>Assistant: <Image>
    Assistant-->>Promptflow: "Here is the requested plot", <Image>
    deactivate Assistant
    Promptflow-->>Frontend: "Here is the requested plot", <Image>
    deactivate Promptflow

Loading

Log traces to AI Studio

In addition to viewing the traces in the local promptflow traces view, you can also log the traces to Azure AI Studio. To do this, you need to set the trace destination to the Azure AI Studio workspace. You will need your Azure subscription ID, resource group, and project name.

pf config set trace.destination=azureml://subscriptions/15ae9cb6-95c1-483d-a0e3-b1a1a3b06324/resourceGroups/danielsc/providers/Microsoft.MachineLearningServices/workspaces/build-demo-project

On first run, the above should produce output like this:

The workspace Cosmos DB is not initialized yet, will start initialization, which may take some minutes...
Set config [{'trace.destination': 'azureml://subscriptions/15ae9cb6-95c1-483d-a0e3-b1a1a3b06324/resourceGroups/danielsc/providers/Microsoft.MachineLearningServices/workspaces/build-demo-project'}] successfully.

After setting the trace destination, you might need to restart the pfs service:

pf service stop
pf service start

When you use the chat UI, you should see traces in the Azure AI Studio workspace. In the output logs of the app you should see the URL to the trace views for local and Azure AI Studio:

...
You can view the trace detail from the following URL:
http://localhost:23334/v1.0/ui/traces/?#collection=assistant-test&uiTraceId=0x67a45d1c29d32e62f50eda806ff51a3b
