The Phoenix Playground does support images, but there are some limitations. According to <https://docs.arize.com/phoenix/tracing/how-to-tracing/advanced/multimodal-tracing|Phoenix's documentation>, images can be included in LLM traces using either a base64 UTF-8 encoded image or an image URL. However, there have been issues reported where images expressed with data URLs do not display correctly in the UI, as noted in a <https://github.com/Arize-ai/phoenix/issues/5564|GitHub issue>. This issue might cause the images to appear empty in the playground.
Would you like more details on how to properly configure images for use in the Phoenix Playground?
