What is the difference between a model and a functioning AI system?
Choose components for a fictional research assistant. Each choice changes capability, dependency, risk, and the control the design needs.
Interactive model

My system architecture sentence
Explain in five sentences how the model, context, tools, state, permissions, and human review combine in your design.
Safety boundary
This is a conceptual architecture exercise, not deployment guidance. Real systems require security, privacy, reliability, domain, and operational review.
Method note
The deterministic result favors explicit dependencies and controls. It does not simulate model performance or prove that a selected architecture will work.
Text alternative
Follow the system as a list: purpose, model, instructions, context or retrieval, tools, state, permissions, human review, and feedback.
AI Risk Management FrameworkU.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology
Supports contextual mapping, measurement, management, monitoring, governance, accountability, and human oversight; it is voluntary guidance, not proof that a particular system is safe.
