About Rivet
Rivet is repositioning its actor platform as the cheap runtime layer for coding agents.
Rivet is shipping at a high cadence and pivoting its narrative toward AI-agent infrastructure. The recent window includes agentOS v0.2 (a WebAssembly-powered, low-cost alternative to sandboxes for running coding agents), Rivet Compute (serverless hosting for actors), a Rust rewrite of Secure Exec, and new Rust and Effect SDKs for Rivet Actors. The pitch is that agents need a lightweight Linux VM, not a heavy sandbox.
