AI Capability Reference Architectures
Technical blueprints based on real-world documented implementations. Explore how business capabilities, integration frameworks, memory planes, and security systems coordinate to build production-grade, CMMI-compliant AI ecosystems.
Level 1: Initial — Ad-hoc Chat & Local API Sandbox
Direct model integration, manual configurations, and ad-hoc vibe check validation.
A developer team building a basic internal chatbot or prompt validator. The system does not utilize multi-agent state loops, runtime sandboxing, or compliance logging. Security relies on static key storage in cleartext local .env files, and evaluations are limited to manual developer inspects ('vibe checks').
CMMI Alignment Rationales
Matches Level 1 (Initial) because it lacks central gateway routing, utilizes ad-hoc manual configurations, relies on static file-stored keys, and has no formal quality tracking or automated evaluation checks.
