Announcements

Cynthia
- Worked through some of the issues PR #52
  - Issues needed to be addressed prior to CLI implementation
  - Test updates - PanDA test updated with current framework
  - ePIC problem config - doesn’t fail, need to test usage
  - Scheduler config, loader, etc added and tested
  - CLI - opened a branch (implement-optimize-cli) - integrates the optimization and running trial workflows with different payloads
  - Working on compute objectives to get them back into the optimizer - should be pushed relatively soon - test and then will make a PR
  - Need to integrate ePIC stack eval script (drich_eval.py) runner into framework + CLI - finished once this occurs
Amit
- going through PR#57
- working on PandA- Runner in BIC-MOBO
- Implementing multi-stage runner on BIC MOBO
- Currently runs with slurm and PanDA runner - single job
Status of condensing repository?
- Cynthia - once CLI implementation is merged into migrating-config-models repo will be cleaned up - this will then be merged into main
  - Maybe looking at two weeks
Amit - as long as things run with dtlz2 test maybe ok to move to main while still working on ePIC stack? Cynthia: possibly yes

Amit - trying make agentic framework work with LLM hosted in perlmutter
- Run agentic framework inside codex / claude - uses MCP servers relevant to user prompt and passes this to local LLM
- Once this is done want to test with models host in BNL machines
- When doing production scale optimization - currently no way to store experimental results, this should be stored somewhere accessible
James
- Testing code assist with Baptise next week
