Summary

Octos is a Rust-native, API-first Agentic OS providing a backend for AI agent systems. It targets developers and power users needing a flexible, multi-tenant platform to manage AI agents, moving beyond single-user chatbots with a centralized control plane.

How It Works

Delivered as a single, 31MB static binary with zero dependencies, Octos functions as an OS for AI agents. It offers extensive REST endpoints for comprehensive control, managing routing, sessions, tools, and memory. Key features include multi-tenancy (isolating profiles as OS processes), multi-LLM pipelines with dynamic fan-out and failover, and a multi-layer memory system.
