Introducing Athyr: A Runtime for Distributed AI Agents

Today we’re excited to announce Athyr, a lightweight runtime that makes it easy to deploy AI agents as distributed microservices.

The Problem

Building multi-agent systems is hard. You need to solve:

  • Service discovery - how do agents find each other?
  • Message routing - how do agents communicate?
  • State management - where does agent memory live?
  • LLM provider management - how do you handle multiple providers, rate limits, and failover?

Most teams end up building custom infrastructure that’s tightly coupled to their use case.

The Solution

Athyr provides a single binary runtime that handles all of this infrastructure for you. Your agents connect to Athyr and focus purely on their logic - Athyr handles the rest.

Key Features

  • Single Binary - No dependencies. Deploy anywhere.
  • Language Agnostic - Write agents in Go, Python, TypeScript, or any language.
  • Built-in LLM Gateway - Multi-provider routing with circuit breakers and failover.
  • Agent Registry - Automatic service discovery.
