AX is Google's open agentic orchestration runtime for declaring and running autonomous agent workloads in Kubernetes clusters. It defines Tasks, Workspaces, Gateways, and Models as ax.io/v1alpha1 manifests: Tasks run agent code in isolated sandboxes, Workspaces preconfigure Git repositories, MCP servers, and skill packages, Gateways restrict outbound traffic with host allowlists, and Models configure the platform's LLM access through Kubernetes secrets. The control plane runs on Agent Substrate and is operated through a kubectl-shaped CLI that applies manifests, watches task status, opens SSH sessions into sandboxes, and suspends or resumes checkpointed agents. AX is described as being designed for high-throughput cluster operation and is still subject to breaking changes before a stable release. It is distributed under the Apache License 2.0.
