One record from proposed work to promotion.
The operator coordinates the systems already responsible for training, infrastructure state, checkpoints, evaluation, and identity. Harbor adds the decision logic and the durable operating record between them.
ObserveSee the model run and the machines carrying it.
Harbor reads experiment state beside Kubernetes, Slurm, DCGM, NCCL, Prometheus, and run metrics. The operator can distinguish a bad training trajectory from an infrastructure fault because both are in the same record.
- Candidate state and loss
- Rank and collective health
- GPU and scheduler evidence
OperateKeep controlled work moving when infrastructure fails.
The reference operator identifies a failed GPU, quarantines its node, validates the last checkpoint, rebuilds the training allocation, and resumes the candidate. Every action is written to an actor-attributed operations log.
- Policy-scoped actions
- Checkpoint verification
- Recorded recovery receipts
EvaluateMake the promotion decision from your own gates.
Harbor invokes the customer evaluation command, applies blocking criteria, and returns the accepted and rejected candidates with evidence. The implementation keeps deployment behind a required human sign-off.
- Customer eval harness
- Blocking safety policy
- Human promotion approval
