Deterministic AI Agent Knowledge
Atlas separates knowledge from reasoning. A compiled, verifiable, cryptographically-signed binary that lets AI agents make decisions without an LLM call — 100x cheaper, 1000x faster, provably correct.
LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, smolagents — they all share the same fatal flaw.
Every framework treats knowledge as "stuff in the context window." No structure, no persistence, no verification.
Each agent step requires an LLM call. At $0.10-1.00+ per decision, production agents bleed cash.
When the LLM hallucinates, there's no safety net. No verification, no audit trail, no replay.
EU AI Act fines start at €15M on August 2, 2026. Today's frameworks can't explain why an agent did what it did.
Atlas is a new kind of operating system — not for computers, but for engineering knowledge.
$ atlas init my-package --template flutter
Created knowledge package 'my-package'
$ atlas compile my-package.md decisions/ --out my-package.atlas
Compiled 12 nodes, 8 edges, 1 decision tree → my-package.atlas
$ atlas solve --bundle my-package.atlas "which widget?"
Matched 5 nodes. Confidence: 0.95
$ atlas decide --bundle my-package.atlas "widget" -c "needs_state=true"
Path: widget_state → stateful_vs_builder → stateful_builder
Rationale: Use StatefulWidget with a builder pattern...

Concepts, APIs, workflows — all in a simple, human-readable format.
Zstd-compressed, memory-mapped, blake3-hashed. Portable across any platform.
Python SDK, MCP server, CLI, or Studio. Any interface. Zero LLM calls for 80% of queries.
Share, discover, and reuse knowledge packages. Like Docker Hub, but for agent knowledge. 13 packages and growing.
SSO, GDPR, audit, RBAC — all included. No paywalls, no enterprise license fees.
Authenticate with Google, Azure AD, Okta, or any OpenID Connect provider. JWT verification via JWKS.
DSAR, data portability export, and right to erasure endpoints. Built for SOC2 and EU AI Act readiness.
Daily R2 backups with 30-day retention. Manual trigger endpoint for on-demand snapshots.
Role-based access (admin, publisher, viewer). Full audit trail with timestamps, IPs, and API key tracking.
60 requests/minute per API key with X-RateLimit-Reset headers. Protection on all endpoints.
Apache 2.0 license. Audit the code, fork it, deploy it yourself. No enterprise paywall — ever.
