AstronOS: A Unified Execution Model and Runtime for Long-Horizon Agentic Systems

Excerpt

arXiv:2608.16381v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic systems often organize execution and state around a single conversation, model invocation, or agent instance, even when real work spans many calls and stages. We introduce a unified execution model that maintains a work item's persistent identity and versioned authoritative state across calls. Each step receives input scoped to a specific state version and new material; a result advances state only after validation and recording. We impleme
