ARES

ARES — a Go-native, multi-agent runtime with an adaptive knowledge graph

Architecture Modules Guides

ARES is a Go-native multi-agent runtime. It provides a unified SDK for building LLM-powered agents with built-in memory, tool calling, an adaptive knowledge graph (AKG), strategy evolution, and MCP integration.

Key features

  • Unified Runtime — one entry point (sdk.NewRuntime) wires the LLM client, tool registry, memory, knowledge fabric, and evolution system.
  • Adaptive Knowledge Graph (AKG) — distills conversations into fact-level KnowledgeObjects with quality gating and hybrid retrieval (vector + lexical), no LLM required in the build/retrieve loop.
  • Multi-provider LLM — OpenAI, Ollama, Anthropic, OpenRouter, plus automatic failover across fallback providers.
  • Tool calling — built-in tools, custom tools, MCP-discovered tools, and a capability planner for intent-based tool resolution.
  • Agent OS kernel — agents are scheduled processes, not workflow nodes. Work is durable Task intent (checkpoint + lease + epoch fencing); the kernel scheduler drives Schedule → Acquire → RunQuantum → finalize, so an agent dying does not kill the task (lease expiry requeues it).
  • Dynamic graphs — the live topology is a MutableDAG (internal/fabric/task/workflow/engine): session L2 graphs grow per quantum (plan/tool/answer nodes) and compile incrementally into the task fabric via planprojection; evolution structure patches mutate DAG objects in place. See the workflow module page.
  • Strategy evolution — GA over instruction/LLM-parameter strategies: population scoring, lifecycle gates (shadow/eval/rollback) and a coordinator applying patches from multiple sources. Verified gate semantics documented on the ares_evolution module page.
  • Bilingual documentation — every module page is available in English and Chinese. Pages are audited against the source tree; where a page lags, the source is authoritative.
