THALIOX Docs

THALIOX is an operating system redesigned from first principles around how AI actually works. These docs help you get started, understand the core concepts, and look things up in the reference.

Start here

• Getting started — install and run your first autonomous agent.
• Core concepts — TAM's three primitives, five invariants, eight crates.

What it is

• Vector messages replace files — agents exchange meaning, not bytes.
• Attention budgets replace CPU time slices — every thought and action is metered and reconciled in tokens.
• Capability tokens replace uid/gid — signature + expiry + scope, verified before any side effect.

The whole system is defined by the TAM Abstract Machine contract, so the software implementation and future custom silicon obey one shared semantics.

Current status: M4 cluster + multi-platform shipped (v0.4.0) — THALIOX is now an operating system for a distributed society of agents: agents run inside real Firecracker microVMs (M2), survive node loss via CRDT merge + a self-healing supervisor (M3), and collaborate over a fabric across hosts — cross-host live migration validated on two KVM machines, teams in four paradigms, and one capability-gated cluster front door (M4).
