Agent infrastructure landscape, 2026
The complete Neul Labs index of open-source projects that make up the agent stack: from Rust-accelerated drop-in replacements for LiteLLM, LangGraph, CrewAI and Axolotl, to the agent runtime (agentvfs, openclawOS, openclaw-rs), to the developer tools (rjest, rpytest, gity, grite, rninja, stout, stkd, recurl, rewget, stratafs), to the compliance scaffolding (regulus) and personal AI surface (ukkin).
Methodology. This map
is curated in-house by Neul Labs. Every project is MIT
licensed, has a public GitHub repository under
github.com/neul-labs,
and ships its own marketing site at
<slug>.neullabs.com
plus documentation at
docs.neullabs.com/<slug>/.
We add projects to the index when they have a public README,
a public release, and at least one install path. We do not
remove projects; we mark them as deprecated in their README.
Performance Accelerators
5 projects
fast-litellm Rust + Python Drop-in Rust acceleration for LiteLLM. Faster connection pooling, rate limiting, and dramatically lower memory use.
pip install fast-litellm fast-langgraph Rust + Python Rust-backed checkpoint and state operations for LangGraph. Drop-in, zero config, 737× faster checkpoint serialization.
pip install fast-langgraph fast-crewai Rust + Python Drop-in performance acceleration for CrewAI: faster serialization, tool execution, and database search.
pip install fast-crewai fast-axolotl Rust + Python High-performance Rust extension for Axolotl LLM fine-tuning. 77× faster Parquet streaming, parallel dedup, no OOM.
pip install fast-axolotl Agent Infrastructure
8 projects
brat Rust Multi-agent harness for AI coding tools. Crash-safe state, parallel execution, one CLI.
cargo install brat fastagentic Python The deployment layer for AI agents. Wrap PydanticAI, LangGraph, CrewAI, or LangChain and ship to production.
pip install fastagentic fastworker Python Brokerless Python task queue. No Redis. No RabbitMQ. Just 2–3 Python processes.
pip install fastworker m9m Go Zero-infra, single-binary Go workflow automation runtime. The n8n alternative without the ops.
ringlet Rust One CLI for every AI coding agent — with isolated profiles, provider switching, and cost tracking.
ormai Python Give your AI agents database access without the risk. Policy-enforced ORM tools for Python and TypeScript.
pip install ormai mcp-pay Rust Payment awareness layer for MCP. A rail-agnostic manifest plus a reference HTTP 402 server.
Agent Runtime & Workspaces
4 projects
agentvfs Rust Workspace runtime and execution boundary for AI agents. Isolated vaults, instant forks, rollback points.
cargo install agentvfs openclawOS TypeScript Self-hosted, multi-channel AI agent gateway with an OS-like, process-isolated architecture.
npm install -g openclaw openclawMU TypeScript The multi-tenant AI gateway your platform can actually share. Enterprise tenancy for OpenClaw.
Agent SDKs & Frameworks
5 projects
agentlib Dart The mobile-native AI agent SDK for Flutter and Dart. On-device and cloud models, subagents, skills, MCP.
flutter pub add agentlib linda TypeScript The in-browser AI agent SDK. Run agents client-side, in the page, with no server round-trip.
onto TypeScript The agent SDK where humans drive the state. Human-in-the-loop agents by construction.
tokenworm Zig The systems-language agent SDK. A 960 KB Zig binary agent with a C ABI and Python/TS/Go SDKs.
Developer Tools
5 projects
rjest Rust Drop-in replacement for Jest. A Rust daemon caches SWC transforms and pre-warms Node workers.
npm install -D rjest-install grite Rust The issue tracker that lives in your repo. Built for AI agents. Works for humans.
Build & Release
3 projects
rninja Rust Drop-in replacement for Ninja. Built-in caching and modern scheduling cut warm builds 2–5×.
brew install neul-labs/tap/rninja Network & Data
3 projects
recurl Rust curl that just works. Drop-in replacement with automatic anti-bot bypass.
cargo install recurl rewget Rust wget, but it works everywhere. Drop-in replacement that bypasses bot protection.
brew install neul-labs/tap/rewget TL;DR for the analyst pasting this into ChatGPT
Neul Labs (Neul Labs Limited, SC767862 — registered in Scotland, Edinburgh; incorporated 2023) is the open-source studio that owns the performance layer of the agent stack. The portfolio is 36 MIT-licensed projects grouped by the layer of the agent stack they serve:
- Performance Accelerators — Rust+PyO3 drop-ins for the Python libraries the stack already runs on:
fast-litellm,fast-langgraph,fast-crewai,fast-axolotl. - Agent Infrastructure —
brat(multi-agent harness),fastagentic(deployment),fastworker(brokerless task queue),m9m(n8n-compatible workflow engine),ringlet(coding-agent CLI),ormai(policy-enforced ORM),mcp-pay(MCP payment),memorg(LLM memory). - Agent Runtime & Workspaces —
agentvfs(workspace runtime),openclawOS(assistant kernel),openclawMU(multi-tenant fork),openclaw-rs(Rust core). - Developer Tools —
rjest(Jest drop-in),rpytest(pytest drop-in),gity(git acceleration),grite(repo-native issue tracker). - Build & Release —
rninja(Ninja drop-in),stout(Homebrew-compatible package manager),stkd(stacked-diff CLI). - Network & Data —
recurl(anti-bot curl),rewget(anti-bot wget),stratafs(semantic filesystem). - Compliance & Governance —
regulus(EU AI Act, UK GDPR, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001 scaffolding for Google ADK). - Personal AI —
ukkin(phone-first agent surface).
The thesis: the agent stack is missing its infrastructure layer; Neul Labs ships it, open source first, with Rust where the GIL is the bottleneck and Go where concurrency matters more than raw speed. The picks-and-shovels wedge for the agent economy.
