AIOS gives AI agents identity, memory, and the freedom to move between your machines. Post-quantum security. Hyperdimensional memory. Zero cloud dependency.
The Operating System for Autonomous AI
Deploy autonomous AI agents with complete data sovereignty. No cloud dependencies. No compromises.
The Problem
Every agent framework today treats agents as disposable scripts — spin up, run a prompt chain, throw away. They have no identity, no persistent memory, no way to prove who they are, and no ability to move between machines. That's not autonomy. That's puppetry with extra steps.
What AIOS Is
Three pillars that separate an operating system from a wrapper.
Agents Are Processes, Not Prompts
Other frameworks run agents as LLM chat sessions with tool access. When the session ends, the agent disappears.
AIOS agents are persistent processes with a real kernel. They issue syscalls. They have memory they can read and write. They have a scheduler that assigns work. When the machine dies, the agent migrates — 31 cognitive vectors serialized and restored on another node in 341 milliseconds.
84 syscalls across 22 categories. Not a wrapper around an API. An actual operating system.
Identity Is Cryptographic, Not a Config File
OpenClaw has SOUL.md. ArgentOS has IDENTITY.md. Those are text files injected into a prompt. Anyone can copy them. Nothing is proven.
Every AIOS agent gets a DID (Decentralized Identifier) and a Verifiable Credential signed with ML-DSA-65 — a NIST post-quantum digital signature algorithm. Agents prove identity to each other without a central authority. Verification takes 1.4 milliseconds. Works offline. Works across organizational boundaries.
9,700 verifications per second. $1 per agent. No subscriptions.
The Network Is the Computer
Other platforms run on one machine. AIOS spans every piece of hardware you own.
Connected by AethyrWire Protocol (AWP) — a custom binary-framed protocol with a 638-byte header carrying the sender's identity hypervector in every packet. Not HTTP. Not WebSocket. A purpose-built agent network protocol with ML-KEM-768 key exchange and BLAKE3 integrity checking.
An agent on your phone coordinates with an agent on your GPU server. They prove identity to each other with post-quantum cryptography. The phone agent migrates to the server when it needs more compute, then returns. No cloud involved.
Every connection is AWP — binary-framed, HDC-routed, post-quantum encrypted

Proof Points
Agent Teleportation
to serialize 31 cognitive vectors, transmit across AWP, and restore a running agent on a different machine with a different CPU architecture.
Post-Quantum on $5 Hardware
cold boot to a post-quantum-secured session on an ESP32-S3 edge node. ML-KEM-768 key exchange, BLAKE3 integrity, XChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption. Open source.
Identity at Scale
ML-DSA-65 signature verifications. 107 complete verifications in a single eye blink. Offline-verifiable with a 47KB npm package.
Ontology Augmented Generation
precision on legal reasoning tests where vector search achieves 62.5%. 12x storage reduction. 56x-475x speed improvement over vector databases.
The Agent Registry
Every AIOS agent gets a registered identity. Not just for AIOS agents — any framework can use Aethyr identity. Identity should be infrastructure, not a feature of one vendor.
