📂 Core Components

Talos is built on a Contract-Driven Kernel architecture, ensuring consistency across all implementations.

🏛️ The Kernel Layer

• Contracts: The single source of truth for all schemas and test vectors.
• Core-RS: High-performance Rust implementation for cryptographic primitives.

🔌 Connectivity

• AI Gateway: Unified entrance for LLM and MCP interactions.
• Audit Service: Tamper-evident event logging and verification.
• MCP Connector: Secure tool-use bridge.

🛠️ Polyglot SDKs

Talos provides native SDKs for the most popular AI development environments:

• Python SDK | TypeScript SDK | Rust SDK | Go SDK | Java SDK

🔥 Current Milestone: Phase 15 (Adaptive Budgets)

This release focuses on economic security for autonomous agents:

• Real-time Quota Enforcement: Atomic credit tracking for tool calls.
• Multi-Region Recovery: Zero-downtime budget synchronization.
• Deterministic Billing: Cryptographic proof of usage and cost.

---

📊 Project Health

• Total Tests: 850+ verified across polyglot SDKs and services
• Latency (p95): < 5ms for Authz and Audit ingest
• Throughput: 12,000 req/sec per gateway node
• Coverage: ~70% average across core components
• Status: [Stable / LTS]
