# Agent Architecture & Design
|
||
|
||
This page summarizes the intended design of Mycelium Agents, based on the public descriptions on the main site. The details may evolve as we approach the 2026 launch.
|
||
|
||
## High‑Level View
|
||
|
||
From the **Agent Design** and **Advantages** sections:
|
||
|
||
- Each agent **runs entirely inside your environment**.
|
||
- Agents **communicate peer‑to‑peer** across trusted nodes.
|
||
- Agents **access data locally** without exposing it to external providers.
|
||
- Agents are **portable**, moving with your infrastructure rather than with a single cloud vendor.
|
||
|
||
Conceptually:
|
||
|
||
```mermaid
|
||

|
||
A[Your Devices & Nodes] --> B[Agent Runtime]
|
||
B --> C[Local Data & Tools]
|
||
B --> D[Mycelium Network]
|
||
D --> E[Other Agents & Nodes]
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- The **runtime** executes agent logic.
|
||
- Agents load and store data through local backends (files, QSFS, databases).
|
||
- Communication uses **Mycelium Network** between environments.
|
||
|
||
## Core Properties
|
||
|
||
### Local Execution
|
||
|
||
From the "Local Execution" highlight:
|
||
|
||
> *“Agents run entirely inside your environment. Models, logic, and memory stay within your own trusted hardware, never behind third‑party APIs.”*
|
||
|
||
Implications:
|
||
|
||
- You choose where agents run: laptop, homelab, edge cluster, or VDC.
|
||
- No requirement to send prompts or data to centralized AI APIs.
|
||
- Compliance and sovereignty become much easier to reason about.
|
||
|
||
### Mesh Connectivity
|
||
|
||
From the "Mesh Connectivity" highlight:
|
||
|
||
> *“They communicate peer‑to‑peer across trusted nodes. Agents form direct encrypted paths between environments, without relays or central servers.”*
|
||
|
||
This leverages **Mycelium Network** to:
|
||
|
||
- Give agents a global, encrypted address space.
|
||
- Enable cross‑site coordination (home ↔ office ↔ cloud ↔ edge).
|
||
- Avoid central bottlenecks and single points of failure.
|
||
|
||
### Private Data Access
|
||
|
||
From the "Private Data Access" highlight:
|
||
|
||
> *“They use your data without sending it elsewhere. Your datasets, embeddings, and context never leave your boundaries.”*
|
||
|
||
Design goals:
|
||
|
||
- Agents can work directly against local file systems, QSFS, and internal services.
|
||
- Sensitive inputs and outputs remain in environments you choose.
|
||
- Remote calls (if any) are explicit and policy‑controlled.
|
||
|
||
### Portability
|
||
|
||
From the "Portability" highlight:
|
||
|
||
> *“They move with you, not with a cloud provider. Agents follow your devices, networks, and workflows, remaining sovereign across every location.”*
|
||
|
||
Over time the framework aims to allow:
|
||
|
||
- Re‑deploying agents between different nodes and VDCs.
|
||
- Maintaining state while moving execution closer to data or users.
|
||
- Using heterogeneous infrastructure (homelab + hoster nodes + VDCs) as one fabric.
|
||
|
||
## Example Deployment Topologies
|
||
|
||
### Single‑Node Local Agent
|
||
|
||
- Agent runtime on your workstation.
|
||
- Local data and tools only.
|
||
- Mycelium Network used for optional remote access.
|
||
|
||
### Multi‑Node Mesh
|
||
|
||
- Agents running on several nodes (e.g. laptop, homelab, hoster node).
|
||
- P2P coordination over Mycelium.
|
||
- Some agents specialized for data access, others for orchestration.
|
||
|
||
### VDC‑Backed Agent Cluster
|
||
|
||
- Runtime deployed into a **VDC** as a set of Kubernetes workloads.
|
||
- Agents expose services reachable only via Mycelium Network.
|
||
- QSFS and other Mycelium components used for storage.
|
||
|
||
## Security & Trust (Preview)
|
||
|
||
From the "Security Architecture" and related messaging:
|
||
|
||
- **Provable sovereignty** – Assign workloads to trusted zones and verify state with cryptographic proofs.
|
||
- **Autonomous zero‑trust** – Identity, policy, and attestation enforced continuously.
|
||
- **Planetary‑scale resilience** – Mesh routing around failures, including regional outages.
|
||
|
||
As the framework evolves, expect more detailed specifications around:
|
||
|
||
- Identity & authentication between agents.
|
||
- Policy models for where and how agents may run.
|
||
- Auditability and observability of agent behavior.
|
||
|
||
## Status
|
||
|
||
The architecture described here is intentionally high‑level and forward‑looking. For timelines and how to prepare, see **[Overview](/ai-agent-framework)** and **[Getting Ready for Agents](/ai-agent-framework/getting-ready)**.
