AX (Agent Executor)
Google open-sourced AX, an Apache-2.0 Kubernetes-style declarative runtime for orchestrating autonomous AI agents at scale.
Overview
Unveiled September 18, 2026, AX is an Apache-2.0-licensed orchestrator/runtime for composing, coordinating, and supervising autonomous AI agents across cloud, edge, and on-device environments through a single declarative API. It exposes four Kubernetes-style primitives (Task, Workspace, Gateway, Model) under the ax.io/v1alpha1 API group, ships a Go-based CLI deployed via ko and Redis, and supports resource-efficient task suspension and resumption. It drew over 150,000 GitHub registrations within 48 hours and 600+ points on Hacker News.
