Understanding Large Language Models (LLM)

Model information

The AI assistant uses the following LLM for query processing:

• Model: openai/gpt-oss-120b
• Provider: IBM watsonx.ai
• Capabilities: Natural language understanding, intent recognition, and API payload generation

How the LLM Works

The AI processing flow begins by receiving your query, interpreting the natural‑language input to understand the request. It then analyzes the context, recognizing observability concepts and Instana‑specific terminology to accurately determine intent. Using this understanding, the system generates structured output by creating the necessary API calls with appropriate filters and parameters. Finally, it provides explanations, offering transparency into how the query was interpreted and translated into actionable operations.
