rivet-dev/agent-os — portable Rust agent OS with 6ms coldstarts via WebAssembly
trending-repo
HIGH
agent-os by rivet-dev is a portable, open-source operating system for AI agents built in Rust. It achieves ~6ms coldstarts using WebAssembly and V8 isolates, claims 32x cheaper than traditional sandboxes, and is designed as a portable execution layer for agent workloads. Trending with 2,543 stars, Apache 2.0 license, last commit April 6 2026. This is the same rivet-dev team behind Rivet (reviewed 2026-03-25, HIGH relevance). They have now separated the agent execution layer into a standalone OS primitive.

ODS Impact
ODS is building an AI agent pipeline (ADLC, PDLC). The agent-os project is directly relevant to future ODS agent infrastructure — it provides a secure, fast sandbox for running agent code. The WASM-based execution model is compatible with ODS multi-tenant architecture (tenant isolation at the WASM boundary). Relevant for future P5+ AI feature planning and the ops/innovation innovation track. Not a dependency today but a strong watch candidate.
