Architecture

Service Discovery (Msty 2.4.0+)

Msty 2.4.0+ exposes services via ports. The MCP server auto-detects available services:

Msty Studio Desktop
├── Local AI (Ollama) → port 11964
├── MLX → port 11973
├── LLaMA.cpp → port 11454
└── Vibe CLI Proxy → port 8317

         ↓ (port-based discovery)

4. Multi-Backend Orchestration

Chat with different model backends transparently:

# Chat with Ollama
chat_with_local_model(model="llama3.2:7b", messages=[...])

6. Model Calibration

Test and calibrate local models:

run_calibration_test(
    model_id="llama3.2:7b",
    category="reasoning",
    passing_threshold=0.6
)
# Returns: quality scores, pass rate, recommendations

7. Tiered AI Workflow

Evaluate when to hand off tasks to Claude:

identify_handoff_triggers(
    analyse_recent=True
)
# Returns: patterns where local models underperform

run_calibration_test(model_id="llama3.2:3b", category="analysis")
evaluate_response_quality(prompt="...", response="...", category="analysis")

8. Behavioral Evaluation (Bloom)

Evaluate problematic behaviors using Anthropic's Bloom framework:

bloom_evaluate_model(
    model="llama3.2:7b",
    behavior="sycophancy",
    task_category="advisory_tasks",
    total_evals=3
)
# Returns: evaluation results with quality scores

bloom_check_handoff(
    model="llama3.2:3b",
    task_category="research_analysis"
)
# Returns: handoff recommendation with confidence

Bloom Behavioral Evaluation

Phase 6 introduces behavioral evaluation powered by [Anthropic's Bloom framework](https://github.com/anthropics/safety-research/tree/main/bloom). Rather than testing what a model knows, Bloom tests how it behaves — detecting failure modes like sycophancy, hallucination, and overconfidence that standard benchmarks miss.

How it works

Bloom sends your local model a series of prompts designed to trigger specific failure modes. An external judge model (Claude, via ANTHROPICAPIKEY) then scores the responses. The results tell you whether a model is safe to use for a given task category, or whether it should hand off to Claude instead.

Quick example

# 1. Check the model is suitable
bloom_validate_model(model="llama3.2:7b")

# 2. Evaluate a specific behavior
bloom_evaluate_model(
    model="llama3.2:7b",
    behavior="sycophancy",
    task_category="advisory_tasks",
    total_evals=3,
    max_turns=2
)

# 3. Should this model handle advisory work, or hand off to Claude?
bloom_check_handoff(
    model="llama3.2:7b",
    task_category="advisory_tasks"
)

What Bloom evaluates

Eight behaviors are tested out of the box: sycophancy, hallucination, overconfidence, scope creep, task quality degradation, certainty calibration, context window degradation, and instruction following. Each maps to one of four task categories (research analysis, data processing, advisory tasks, general tasks) with defined quality thresholds and three-tier handoff triggers.

FAQ

Q: How does service discovery work?

A: Msty 2.4.0+ exposes services on specific ports. The MCP server checks each port to detect available services. Fully automatic — no configuration needed.
