Agent Substrate is a Kubernetes-based control plane for running large fleets of stateful agent sandboxes at high density. It multiplexes many idle actors onto a small pool of workers with sub-second suspend/resume, supporting microVM and gVisor sandbox technologies.

Use cases

• run thousands of AI agent sandboxes on a small Kubernetes cluster
• suspend and resume stateful agents in under a second
• oversubscribe idle agents onto shared worker pods
• manage microVM and gVisor sandboxes with one lifecycle API
• build infrastructure for RL loops spanning agents, inference, and training
• route incoming traffic to live agent instances

When to choose

• you need to deploy stateful agents at scale with high density
• you want sub-second agent resume/suspend on Kubernetes
• you need consistent sandbox lifecycle across microVMs and gVisor
• you run RL workloads mixing agentic, inference, and training cycles

When to avoid

• you want an SDK or framework for building agent logic
• you have a small number of always-active workloads with no need for multiplexing
• you are not running on Kubernetes
