Hosts
Strukto is the virtual environment layer for AI agents: virtualized terminal, filesystem, CLIs and runtimes that work on any infrastructure. Its core, Mirage, is open source (Apache 2.0).
Infron AI provides AI infrastructure and inference services for open-source models, from serverless and elastic capacity to dedicated and custom deployments.
XTrace turns company context and lessons from people and AI agents into shared intelligence.
