## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 75/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-02T17:46:02.011165+00:00)
- activity 93, release rhythm 55, longevity 68
- inputs: {"age_days": 961, "days_push": 44, "days_rel": 223, "gap_med": 44.5, "n_releases_24m": 5}
- flags: no_license
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
AIOS is an 'AI Agent Operating System' that embeds LLMs into an OS-like kernel providing scheduling, context switching, memory, storage, and tool management for LLM-based agents. It pairs a Python kernel with the Cerebrum SDK so developers can build, run, and publish agents via Web UI or Terminal UI.

## Use cases
- run multiple llm agents with scheduling and context switching
- build and deploy llm agents with a unified sdk
- manage agent memory and storage across sessions
- route agent requests across openai anthropic gemini and local llm backends
- host an agent marketplace for publishing and sharing agents
- run computer-use agents with vm tool control

## When to choose
- you need OS-like resource management (scheduling, memory, context) for many concurrent LLM agents
- you want a unified interface over cloud and local LLM backends like vLLM and HuggingFace
- you want a full agent platform with SDK, UI, and agent publishing

## When to avoid
- you only need a simple single-agent orchestration library
- you require a permissive license (license is non-standard)
- you need production-hardened infrastructure rather than a research system

## Facets
