The LMOS project arose from the need for a more adaptable and scalable solution for building AI agents. While single-agent systems were common, there was a lack of established frameworks for multi-agent systems.
Eclipse LMOS provides a comprehensive platform for developing, deploying, and managing complex multi-agent systems, extending beyond the creation of individual AI agents. Eclipse LMOS is designed to be open and interoperable, leveraging established open standards to foster collaboration and innovation in the field of Multi-Agent Systems.
The Eclipse LMOS project (Language Model Operating System) is essentially a platform for building and running AI systems that can handle complex tasks. Imagine it like an operating system for your computer, but instead of managing applications, it manages AI agents. These agents are like smaller, specialized AI programs that each handle a specific part of a larger problem.
The key idea behind Eclipse LMOS is to break down complex tasks into smaller parts that can be handled by different AI agents. For instance, if you're building a customer service chatbot, one agent might handle basic greetings, another might answer questions about billing, and another might deal with technical support issues. This way, each agent can be really good at its specific job, leading to better overall performance.
Eclipse LMOS helps these agents work together by providing a common platform where they can communicate and share information. It's like a central hub that keeps everything organized and running smoothly. This platform also makes it easier to manage and scale the system as needed. If you need to add more agents or handle more traffic, LMOS can handle it without breaking a sweat.
Eclipse LMOS was designed to be very flexible and user-friendly. You don't need to be an AI expert to use it. The platform provides tools and features that make it easy to build, deploy, and manage AI agents.
We are so far not aware of any issues.
A trademark search has given two potential issues that should probably be evaluated by a legal expert:
- The EUIPO has a trademark "ELMOS" registered from a semiconductor company, but which also extends to the class 42 (software).
- The USPTO has a trademark "LMOS" registered, but this is only for accounting and educational services, not for software.
The Eclipse Foundation focuses on supporting projects that address real-world enterprise challenges. Eclipse LMOS is designed to solve AI needs of enterprises in an open and transparent manner.
Additionally, we are seeking for collaboration with other enterprises especially in Europe, which is a stronghold of the Eclipse Foundation.
Besides further improving the existing code, we plan to add more features (e.g. other routing and inter-agent communication options) and tools to more easily manage installations. Also, integrations to other services are planned such as common Web APIs as functions or simple "bring-your-own-agent" (BYOA) mechanisms for integrating existing agents that can be build with any other framework.
We plan the project creation to be done by end of November 2024 with possibly a first release under the Eclipse name by the end of the year.
The initial contribution consists out of a couple of repositories that currently exist under https://github.com/lmos-ai.
These contain "ARC", a framework for easily building AI agents plus tooling like Spring Boot templates, a UI etc.
Additionally, there are different components of LMOS, such as the router, the runtime and the operator, all of which together comprise the agent management plane for Kubernetes.
Furthermore, there are repos for demos, samples and documentation.
So far, all contributors to these repos are employees of Deutsche Telekom.
