agent runtime

the agent runtime that never forgets.

not a framework. a runtime. durable execution, persistent workspaces, human-in-the-loop approval, and serverless gpu compute. you deploy the logic, we run it in production.

agents as environments, not functions

most agent frameworks treat agents as functions - stateless, ephemeral, disposable. the inference.sh agent runtime treats agents as environments. state lives outside the container. workspaces persist. knowledge compounds. every session builds on the last.

durable execution

every tool call is an event. agent crashes? resumes where it left off. no lost work, no replayed side effects.

persistent workspaces

state lives outside the container. workspaces survive restarts, scale independently, and can be shared across agents.

human-in-the-loop

approval gates before dangerous actions. agents pause, wait for human confirmation, then resume. mobile-friendly.

observability without an sdk

traces, logs, cost per request. every signal captured automatically. no instrumentation code in your agent.

serverless gpu compute

per-second billing, scale to zero, sub-second cold starts on warm models. 30+ gpu types across 20+ providers.

skills & knowledge

agents learn from every session. skills evolve through use. knowledge compounds across runs instead of starting from zero.

why a runtime, not a framework

frameworks give you building blocks. you import a library, wire up your agent, and handle deployment yourself. that works for prototypes. in production, you need retries, state management, crash recovery, observability, and scaling - and you end up building a runtime anyway.

the inference.sh agent runtime starts where frameworks stop. you deploy agent logic - prompts, tool selection, business rules - and the runtime handles execution. durable state, automatic retries, human approval gates, cost tracking, and traces for every request. no infrastructure code in your agent.

the result: agents that survive 24-hour workflows, resume after crashes, wait for human approval, and compound knowledge across sessions. production-grade from day one.

frequently asked questions

an agent runtime is the infrastructure layer that executes ai agents in production. it handles the hard parts - state persistence, crash recovery, retries, scaling, observability - so you focus on agent logic instead of infrastructure.
