Abstract
Operating large-scale scientific facilities requires coordinating diverse subsystems, translating operator intent into precise hardware actions, and maintaining strict safety oversight. Language model-driven agents offer a natural interface for these tasks, but most existing approaches are not yet reliable or safe enough for production use. In this paper, we introduce Osprey, a framework for using agentic AI in large, safety-critical facility operations. Osprey is built around the needs of contr
