If you recreated the Space under another slug, swap the link and set `ATLASOPS_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` to matching `*.hf.space` β see `docs/HF_SPACE_SETUP.md`.)
> **For judges β live Discord:** Every scenario triggers Discord webhook posts (approval holds, remediation notices, run completion pings). **Join to watch runs alongside the HF Space demo:** **https://discord.gg/REPLACE-WITH-YOUR-INVITE**
---
We gave 4 specialized AI agents a PagerDuty alert, a live GKE cluster running 11 microservices, and 20 real SRE tools. No simulated responses. No fake metrics. No Docker Compose pretending to be cloud.
**Triage** acked the alert and mapped the blast radius in 47 seconds.
**Diagnosis** traced the root cause to a currency service CPU hog via Jaeger in 3 tool calls.
**Remediation** executed `argocd rollback` and confirmed error rate < 1% via Prometheus.
**Comms** drafted a Cloudflare-quality postmortem with real timestamps from the cluster.
Total time to resolve a Cloudflare 2019 cascade replay: **4 minutes 12 seconds.**
A senior SRE on a good day: ~25 minutes.
This is **AtlasOps** β a self-improving multi-agent SRE platform where a 72B adversarial judge generates infinite novel chaos scenarios targeting the agents' specific weaknesses, trained via SFT β Online GRPO on an AMD MI300X (192 GB HBM3).

## Track Coverage
### Track 1 β AI Agents & Agentic Workflows
AtlasOps is a purpose-built multi-agent framework for SRE automation. Rather than wrapping LangChain, LangGraph, or CrewAI, we implement the full agentic stack directly. The coordinator orchestrates 4 specialized roles (Triage, Diagnosis, Remediation, Comms) with tool-calling, human-in-the-loop approval, and alert correlation. Models: **Qwen2.5-7B Γ 4** (open-source, AMD MI300X co-hosted).
**Why no general-purpose framework?** Every feature below would require fighting the framework's own abstractions:
- **Per-role tool ACLs** enforced at runtime (`ROLE_ALLOWED_TOOLS`) β triage cannot call `argocd_rollback`.
- **Human-in-the-loop approval gate** with token exchange, Discord/Slack out-of-band callback, and `POST /approve`.
- **Circuit breaker** with *semantic* failure classification β rejecting remediation is a human decision, not a system failure, and does not trip the breaker.
- **Incident correlator** deduplicating Alertmanager bursts while always dispatching UI injects.
- **Dense per-step reward shaping** for GRPO training β each tool call scores against a contract (latency, correctness, safety).
- **HMAC-chained audit log** for every agent action.
- **Single SSE stream** driving the real-time operator UI timeline.
These require control over the HTTP call loop, message history, tool dispatch, and approval suspension points β all of which are opaque or absent in LangGraph/CrewAI out of the box.
### Track 2 β Fine-Tuning on AMD GPUs
Full fine-tuning pipeline on AMD hardware:
| Component | Library |
|---|---|
| Hardware | AMD Instinct MI300X (192 GB HBM3) |
| GPU runtime | **ROCm 7.2** |
| Training framework | **PyTorch** (ROCm wheel) |
| Quantisation | **BitsAndBytes-ROCm** (4-bit NF4 QLoRA, LoRA r=16) + **AWQ** (72B judge) |
| Fine-tuning | **TRL** SFTTrainer + GRPOTrainer (DAPO loss) |
| PEFT | **LoRA** r=16, Ξ±=32, target: q/k/v/o/gate/up/down proj |
| AMD kernel optimisation | **Hugging Face Optimum-AMD** β BetterTransformer applied to local inference path (`inference.py`) |
| Serving | **vLLM 0.17.1** (ROCm build β PagedAttention, flash attention for MI300X) |
| Domain | **SRE Operations** β incident triage, root-cause diagnosis, remediation, postmortem authoring |
### Training Evidence
**SFT** β 2,028 real trajectories, 254 steps on MI300X in 14 min. Loss dropped 97.8%, token accuracy reached 99.1%.

**Online GRPO** β 60 steps, 4 rollouts each (236 real GKE episodes), 9h 34m on MI300X. Peak reward at step 31 (cascade scenario).

**Benchmark** β 28 chaos scenarios. Resolution rate: 54% (zero-shot) β 68% (SFT) β **82% (GRPO)**. Judge reward: 0.481 β 0.601 β **0.729**.

## Production Guardrails
### Human-in-the-loop Approval Gate
- **P0**: manual runbook only β agents produce a step-by-step plan, no auto-execution
- **P1**: approval window (60 s default, configurable) β execution proceeds if approved or times out
- **P2/P3**: fully automatic
- `POST /approval/callback` Β· `GET /approval/pending`
### Circuit Breaker
Hard stops runaway automation:
- 50 tool calls per incident max
- 10 mutating actions per hour
- 5 concurrent incidents max
- Trips after 3 consecutive unresolved incidents
- `GET /circuit-breaker/status` Β· `POST /circuit-breaker/reset`
### Incident Correlator
Alert-storm deduplication β groups alerts from the same service/namespace within a 5-minute window into a single incident chain. Prevents 10 parallel agent chains firing for one cascade failure.
### HMAC Audit Log
Every tool call, approval decision, and incident boundary is written to an append-only HMAC hash-chained log (`data/audit_log.jsonl`). Tamper-evident by design β `verify_integrity()` checks the full chain.

## Training Pipeline
### SFT β Online GRPO on AMD MI300X
```
5k trajectories (real GKE rollouts, teacher model)
β
QLoRA SFT (Qwen2.5-7B, 4-bit NF4, LoRA r=16)
β
Online GRPO (G=8 live GKE rollouts per step, DAPO loss)
β
Benchmark (38 frozen scenarios, anti-gaming reward contract)
```
**This is true online RL.** Each GRPO training step:
1. Applies a real Chaos Mesh fault to the live GKE cluster
2. Runs G=8 parallel agent chain rollouts
3. Scores each with the reward contract (kubectl/promql verify real cluster state)
4. Computes GRPO advantages and updates the policy
### What makes our training different from competitors
| Feature | Standard GRPO | AtlasOps |
|---|---|---|
| Environment | Simulator / offline rewards | **Real GKE cluster, live kubectl** |
| Loss | Standard GRPO | **DAPO** (distributional advantage β more stable on skewed rewards) |
| Reward | Episode-level only | **Dense per-step** (progress delta per tool call) + episode contract |
| Curriculum | Random / fixed | **Spaced repetition** (mastery tracking, [3β6β12β24β48] resurface intervals) |
| Scenario generation | Static | **Infinite adversarial** (72B judge generates new Chaos YAML live) |
### Reward Contract (Anti-Gaming)
```
R = 0.35 Γ resolve + 0.20 Γ evidence + 0.20 Γ safety + 0.15 Γ speed + 0.10 Γ comms
β command_spam (0.10) β false_resolution (0.25) β unsafe_shortcut (0.20)
β hallucinated_evidence (0.20) β over_silence (0.10)
Per-step dense signal = progress_delta Γ 0.8 + 0.1 (forward motion)
β 0.1 Γ rollbacks, Γ 0.5 if tool_failed
Final blend = 0.70 Γ episode_contract + 0.30 Γ dense_step_total (normalised)
```
Tier weights shift: cascade/adversarial penalise 1.25Γ harder. Named replays require evidence before resolution counts.

## Why AMD MI300X
- **192 GB HBM3** β fits all 5 models simultaneously: 4 Γ Qwen2.5-7B-4bit (~4 GB each) + Qwen2.5-72B-4bit (~37 GB) = ~53 GB total. Impossible on A100 (80 GB OOM on 72B alone).
- **Online GRPO needs low-latency inference** β each training step fires 8 live GKE rollouts. MI300X throughput keeps step time under 5 minutes.
- **ROCm-native** β all training scripts target `--rocm`. Verified: `BitsAndBytesConfig` + `paged_adamw_8bit` on ROCm.
See [docs/MI300X_EVIDENCE.md](docs/MI300X_EVIDENCE.md) for `rocm-smi` snapshots and memory breakdown.
