osprey-framework 0.10.4

An open-source, domain-agnostic, capability-based architecture for building intelligent agents

Osprey Framework

🎉 Latest Release: v0.10.4 - litellm/aiohttp Compatibility Fix

🚧 Early Access Release This is an early access version of the Osprey Framework. While the core functionality is stable and ready for experimentation, documentation and APIs may still evolve. We welcome feedback and contributions!

A production-ready framework for deploying agentic AI in large-scale, safety-critical control system environments—particle accelerators, fusion experiments, beamlines, and complex scientific facilities.

📄 Research This work was presented as a contributed oral presentation at ICALEPCS'25 and will be featured at the Machine Learning and the Physical Sciences Workshop at NeurIPS 2025.

🚀 Quick Start

# Install the framework
pip install osprey-framework

# Recommended: Interactive setup (guides you through everything!)
osprey

# The interactive menu will:
# - Help you choose a template with descriptions
# - Guide you through AI provider and model selection
# - Automatically detect and configure API keys from your environment
# - Create a ready-to-use project with smart defaults

# Alternative: Direct command if you know what you want
osprey init my-weather-agent --template hello_world_weather
cd my-weather-agent
# If API keys aren't in your environment, copy and edit .env:
# cp .env.example .env

# Start the command line chat interface
osprey chat

🧪 Testing

# Run unit tests (fast, no API keys required)
pytest tests/ --ignore=tests/e2e -v

# Run e2e tests (slow, requires API keys)
# ⚠️ IMPORTANT: Use 'pytest tests/e2e/' NOT 'pytest -m e2e'
pytest tests/e2e/ -v

See TESTING_GUIDE.md and tests/e2e/README.md for details.

Key Features

• Plan-First Orchestration - Complete execution plans with explicit dependencies before any hardware interaction
• Control-System Safety - Pattern detection, PV boundary checking, and mandatory approval for hardware writes
• Protocol-Agnostic Integration - Seamless connection to EPICS, LabVIEW, Tango, and mock environments
• Scalable Capability Management - Dynamic classification prevents prompt explosion as toolsets grow
• Production-Proven - Deployed at major facilities including LBNL's Advanced Light Source accelerator
