SDK for frontier embedded agents, in Rust. One runtime for the Codex and Claude harnesses, with their own prompts and tools, that runs in a terminal, a server, a Worker, a browser tab, or an app.

  • Durable. Every model call and tool call is journaled, so a turn finishes after its process dies.
  • Code Mode. The model writes one program that calls every tool, and only its result enters the context.
  • Hands. No sandbox per session. A turn reaches a laptop, a server, or a browser tab only for the calls that need one.
  • Subagents. A cell spawns children, each a durable session of its own.
  • Any payer. A ChatGPT or Claude subscription, an API key, or Machine Payments from a Tempo Wallet.
