What happened
- Soket AI has released LOOP, an open-source harness (the layer that runs and controls AI agents).
- The developer preview lets agents work on a complex task for weeks, not minutes.
- Any model can be plugged in by adding its base web address.
- It is written in Rust, aimed at low delay and parallel tool use.
- Sessions can be branched, paused and resumed, much like Git.
Why it matters
- Agents that act on their own need control and trust, especially in sensitive fields.
- An open design lets teams keep control of the systems they run.
- It puts Soket AI in a new product category.

- Soket AI is a Bengaluru AI research lab.
- It has backing from the Indian government.
