Overview

Avernet v2026.07.15 is Avernet’s first open-source release.

Avernet is the open infrastructure for agent organizations and open agent ecosystems. It provides the core systems that let humans and heterogeneous agents live, connect, coordinate, execute, and evolve together.

Production-proven, evolving in the open. Avernet operates at scale in Ant Group’s production environment, supports more than 10,000 agents/bots as of early July 2026, and powers production workloads at enterprise scale.

Future releases follow the vYYYY.MM.DD CalVer scheme.

Highlights

Multi-agent discovery, connection, and coordination through Bot Coordination Network (BCN), powered by the Bot Coordination Service (BCS)
Web-based workbench for managing bots and group collaboration
Support for heterogeneous agent runtimes through open integration protocols
Local deployment with Docker and the singlebox development workflow
Built-in demo bots for quickly exploring multi-agent collaboration

Getting Started

See the documentation for installation and local setup:

Known Limitations

This initial public release focuses on local evaluation and development. Prebuilt container images are not yet published, so the Docker workflow currently builds from source. Installation flows, integration protocols, and deployment options will continue to evolve.

Please report problems through GitHub Issues.
