How I Built a Multi-Agent MLOps Control Center with Google TabFM, Gemma 2B & EU AI Act Cryptographic Attestations

A developer built Dataset Automator, a multi-agent MLOps control center that converts tabular data into production-ready ML models, financial ROI reports, and EU AI Act-compliant cryptographic attestations in under 60 seconds. The system uses Google TabFM, Gemma 2B, and Gemini 3.5 Flash with cascade routing to cut costs, processing 85% of tasks locally at zero cost and reducing total run cost to $0.003.

⚠️ This article was written as part of my submission for the Google Cloud AllThingsAgenticHackathon . Note: The application is currently in its validation phase, running locally on Streamlit and tested end-to-end. It is designed to be fully deployable to Google Cloud Run and BigQuery. Picture this: a telecom company hands you a CSV file with 915 clients. You open it, run a quick analysis, and discover 23.4% of those clients are about to leave next quarter. That's not a statistic — that's €142,500 in preventable annual losses sitting quietly in a spreadsheet, waiting for someone to do something about it. The real problem isn't the data. It's what happens next: That's exactly the gap Dataset Automator was built to close. Dataset Automator is a Spatial, Multi-Agent MLOps & Executive Decision Center that transforms any tabular dataset CSV or Excel into: ✅ A certified, production-ready ML model Google TabFM ✅ An executive financial ROI report in plain language ✅ EU AI Act-compliant cryptographic attestations RSASSA-PSS-SHA256 ✅ A standalone 55-cell Jupyter HTML notebook with all outputs embedded In under 60 seconds. With full human oversight at every step.

One of the most critical architectural decisions was how to use Google AI models intelligently . Using Gemini 3.5 Flash for every pipeline operation would cost ~$0.35 per run. At scale, this becomes prohibitive. The solution? Cascade Routing with Google Gemma 2B . class AdaptiveModelRouter: """ Cascade arbitration: route tasks to the most cost-efficient model. - Routine telemetry & trace evaluation → Google Gemma 2B local, 152ms, $0.00 - Complex reasoning & deliberation → Gemini 3.5 Flash API, ~800ms """ def route self, task: dict - str: complexity score = self. compute complexity task if complexity score < 0.40: Simple pattern → Gemma 2B local inference return self.gemma 2b.evaluate task "trace" elif complexity score < 0.75: Intermediate → Gemini Flash fast return self.gemini flash.generate task "prompt" else: High-stakes reasoning → Gemini Pro return self.gemini pro.generate task "prompt" def compute complexity self, task: dict - float: """Score based on token length, tool calls, and ambiguity signals.""" token score = min len task.get "trace", "" / 2000, 0.5 tool score = min len task.get "tool calls", 0.1, 0.3 ambiguity = 0.2 if "?" in task.get "prompt", "" else 0.0 return token score + tool score + ambiguity Results on our telecom dataset: | Model Used | Tasks | Cost | Avg.

The most impactful innovation in Dataset Automator is the Progressive Human-in-the-Loop approval engine . Instead of a single "approve/reject" at the end, the system enforces four distinct approval gates — each revealing exactly what the agent is about to do. When clients.csv is loaded, the system automatically classifies the business domain: php def detect domain df: pd.DataFrame - dict: """ Neo4j GraphRAG query: match dataset column signatures to OKF v0.2 business domain ontology 295 nodes, 413 relationships . """ column signature = frozenset df.columns.str.lower telecom signals = {"monthly charges", "tenure", "contract", "churn"} finance signals = {"debt ratio", "credit score", "income", "default"} health signals = {"bmi", "glucose", "insulin", "diagnosis"} if len column signature & telecom signals = 3: return { "domain": "Télécom & Churn Prediction", "okf formulas": "ARPU", "CSR Churn Survival Rate ", "LTV" } ...

The most common failure in ML projects isn't technical — it's communication. When a data scientist says "our model achieves 97.1% ROC-AUC" , the executive hears "..." . Dataset Automator's Executive Decision Cockpit bridges this gap: python def compute executive kpis df: pd.DataFrame, model predictions: np.ndarray, avg customer value: float = 500.0 - dict: """ Translate ML metrics into business-language KPIs.

The 295-node Neo4j knowledge graph OKF v0.2 — Open Knowledge Framework is what makes Dataset Automator domain-aware rather than generic. // Query: Find OKF formulas for Telecom domain MATCH d:Domain {name: "Télécom"} - :HAS FORMULA - f:Formula RETURN f.name, f.expression, f.interpretation LIMIT 10 // Results: // ARPU | avg monthly charges | Average Revenue Per User // CSR | 1 - churn rate | Churn Survival Rate // LTV | ARPU avg tenure | Lifetime Value Estimate // NPS | promoters - detractors | Net Promoter Score proxy When a dataset is loaded, the graph instantly returns the certified business formulas for the detected domain — creating new predictive features that a generic pipeline would miss entirely.

Domain-specific ontologies beat generic pipelines. Adding the Neo4j OKF formulas improved prediction quality by ~2.1% AUC compared to raw features alone. 2. Cascade model routing is not a complexity — it's a business requirement. 85% of operations don't need a large model. Gemma 2B handles them in 152ms at zero cost. 3. Executive trust requires euros, not AUC. Every ML project should have an Executive Decision Cockpit translating model output into direct financial impact. 4. Cryptographic attestations are a competitive advantage. EU AI Act compliance built-in from day one transforms a regulatory burden into a trust signal for enterprise clients.
