Vayu provides the primitives AI agents need at the kernel level. Capability-based security, goal-aware scheduling, and cryptographic audit—not as libraries, but as OS fundamentals.
Traditional operating systems were built for humans running programs. Agents are different—they're persistent, goal-directed entities that require fundamentally new primitives.
How it works
Not a framework. Not a container. Vayu is a bare-metal microkernel where agents are first-class citizens with their own memory, scheduling, and security model.
Not processes. Not containers. Agents are a new primitive with persistent identity, cognitive state, and cryptographic capabilities.
Every resource access requires an unforgeable capability token. Least privilege enforced at the memory management unit.
The scheduler sees agent objectives and progress metrics. Resources flow to what matters: completing goals.
Architecture
ARM64 MMU with per-agent address spaces. TTBR0/TTBR1 separation. Agents physically cannot access memory they don't own.
Working, episodic, semantic, and procedural memory built into the kernel as first-class abstractions.
Hardware timer-driven context switching with priority inheritance. Deadlines are guarantees, not targets.
Every syscall logged. Every state transition recorded. Cryptographic signatures guarantee integrity.
Use cases
Deploy autonomous trading agents with kernel-enforced risk limits. Every decision cryptographically signed and auditable.
Diagnostic agents with complete audit trails and hardware-enforced data isolation. HIPAA compliance is architectural.
Autonomous control systems with hardware kill switches and instant capability revocation.
Multi-agent orchestration with guaranteed isolation, resource governance, and full provenance tracking.
