AgentOS

Rust runtime for AI agents with time-travel replay

Visit github.comAlternativestop 12% of August 2026

What it does

AgentOS is a Rust runtime layer that sits underneath agent frameworks instead of replacing them. One command gives you a supervised agent process, a health endpoint, a gRPC message bus, a live SSE event stream and a journaled trace. Every LLM exchange and tool result is recorded at the provider boundary, so any run replays deterministically with no API cost. Open source, local-first, currently alpha.

Runtime infrastructure for AI agents — lifecycle, supervision, secrets, and deterministic time-travel replay. Built in Rust. - WAHIB-EL-KHADIRI/AgentOS

    Hi HN, Excited to share Agno, a framework and runtime for multi-agent systems. Think of it as FastAPI for AI Agents. At its core is the AgentOS, a high-performance server/runtime that helps you run and manage AI agents, multi-agent teams, and step-based agentic workflows — all inside your own cloud, with full privacy and no external data sharing. What makes it different • Fast & lightweight — Agents instantiate in ~3μs and use ~6.6 KiB of memory on average (tested on M4 MacBook Pro). • Runtime architecture — Async, stateless, horizontally scalable runtime built on FastAPI. • Integrated…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
