Google Open-Sources AX, a Kubernetes-Style Orchestrator for Autonomous AI Agents

Google open-sourced AX (Apache 2.0), which treats agents as stateful actors rather than microservices. The pitch is the idle problem: agents spend most of their life waiting on a model or a human, so AX checkpoints that state and resumes in sub-second intervals with no cold start, each one in a gVisor sandbox. Four Kubernetes-style primitives - Task, Workspace, Gateway, Model. Whether that beats the CRD overhead is the open question.
