Project: Intelligent assistant for U.S. CMS Operation using Large Language Models

The effort focuses on extending Archi, our LLM-RAG–based framework, and deploy a number of applications based on Archi, to strengthen daily operations and automated diagnostics across CMS computing services. The project aims to further expand Archi into a robust, production-ready, agentic framework capable of assisting Tier-0 operations, data and MC production, and distributed data management workflows. The long-term vision is an intelligent operational companion that can accurately retrieve CMS-specific knowledge, reason about system states, summarize and classify issues, propose solutions, and eventually act autonomously through agentic tools.
