Build Wastewater Aeration Anomaly Agent with Vercel AI SDK and Gemini 2.5 Flash

Wastewater aeration retrofits often generate noisy PLC telemetry that obscures dissolved oxygen drift and blower failures. Build a real-time monitoring agent using Vercel AI SDK and Gemini 2.5 Flash to detect telemetry anomalies and output structured control mitigation actions. Achieve 92% anomaly detection precision across simulated aeration basin streams.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates the AI SDK agent's ability to classify telemetry anomalies and generate valid setpoint adjustments.

Datasets

Challenge datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

json_schema_validity

Ensures the response matches the required setpoint mitigation schema.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

detection_precision

Precision of anomaly classification over test telemetry streams. • target: 0.92 • range: 0-1

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.
