Open-source Rust agent runtime — install pre-wired domain specialists with one command, with adaptive compression and hard spending caps

octomind.runAbout Octomind
Octomind is an open-source agent runtime built on the premise that you should install specialist agents, not wire up frameworks. One command — `octomind run doctor:blood` or `octomind run devops:kubernetes` — installs a specialist pre-wired with the right model, MCP servers, and prompts by domain experts, working the way Homebrew does for command-line tools. Its Tap registry carries around 48-50 specialists across 12 domains including law across nine jurisdictions, medicine, engineering, devops, finance, security, content, and launch, and you can build and publish your own. It targets four specific problems. Config wars: stitching three tools together with glue code nobody wants to own, with no central registry or quality signal. Generic AI failing in expert domains: wrong drug dosages and hallucinated case citations. Sessions degrading at hour four, where naive truncation drops the decisions you actually need — Octomind's answer is cache-aware, structurally preserving adaptive compression that saves around 72.5% of tokens and only triggers when it saves money. And surprise bills: per-request and per-session hard spending caps that stop, fall back, or warn before the money is gone. It supports 13+ providers including OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, Google, and Ollama, with mid-session model switching via /model and instant provider swaps when you hit a rate limit, no restart and no lost context. Agents register new MCP servers at runtime without config edits. It ships as a single Rust binary that installs in about 30 seconds, is Apache 2.0 licensed, and pairs the Hub (hosted models) and Cloud (machines) under one subscription.
