OpenSciFlow White Paper

Position paper drafts for open, modular, local-first AI for Science workflows.

Working title:

Toward Open, Modular, and Local-First AI for Science Workflows

Status

Draft. Do not present this as a mature system evaluation.

Core argument

AI for Science does not only need stronger models or more autonomous agents. It also needs open conventions for:

• tool/model metadata;
• workflow templates;
• local/HPC execution;
• validation;
• license and citation propagation;
• reproducibility records;
• explicit limitations.
