Aitherium
An Operating System for AI Agents
AitherOS is an AI-native operating system comprising 215 microservices and 19 autonomous agents. Built with open architecture, open source deployment tools via AitherZero, and an open source agent framework so anyone can set up their own vLLM containers or use Ollama for local inference. Open to everyone.

Architecture Highlights
AI-Native Operating System
- 215 containerized microservices across 12 architectural layers, orchestrating autonomous agent teams and GPU-accelerated pipelines.
- Local-first infrastructure: multi-model vLLM serving, VRAM-coordinated GPU scheduling, and 170+ automation scripts.
- 19 specialized agents with capability-based dispatch, swarm coding (11 parallel LLM agents), and agent-to-agent mesh communication.
- AitherADK: open-source Agent Development Kit for building, testing, and deploying autonomous agents.
Security Architecture
- HMAC-SHA256 capability tokens with default-deny security model.
- Ed25519 inter-service request signing with automatic key rotation.
- RBAC with tenant isolation, caller context propagation, and pipeline security gates.
Infrastructure & Deployment
- Self-hosted on commodity hardware — no cloud dependency required.
- Multi-model vLLM workers with VRAM preemption and priority queuing.
- Cloud GPU overflow via Vast.ai for reasoning workloads.
Agent Framework
- AgentForge dispatch with ReAct loops, tool calling, and sandboxed execution.
- SwarmCodingEngine: 11-role pipeline (architect, coders, testers, security, reviewer, judge).
- ToolGraph with 3-tier selection and automatic tool promotion.
