Why CLOVE wins

Three things nobody else does together.

Frameworks are either fast OR safe OR flexible — never all three. CLOVE is a C++ kernel underneath, which is why speed comes free. It's OS-isolated per agent, which is why safety is kernel-enforced. And it's model-agnostic by design, which is why you're never locked in.

Speed
Native C++. No Python GIL. No Docker cold start.
28mskernel boot · 6× NVIDIA Sandbox, 86× LangChain
10.5MBmemory per agent · 4× less than containers
20μsIPC latency via shared memory, not HTTP
0JVM, no Python runtime, no Docker daemon
Safety
Budgets enforced at kernel, not app. Audits you can defend.
Kernel-levelbudget kills — cannot be bypassed by agent code
Deterministicreplay — same inputs, same outputs, always
Namespaces + seccompreal OS isolation per agent
Zero egressair-gap deployment available
Flexibility
14 models. Two hosting modes. No vendor lock-in.

Your AI is powerful.
Your guardrails are stronger.

Your CFO and your CISO both sign off. Hard budgets, real isolation, full audit trails — enforced at the kernel, not the app.

Kernel-enforced

Your AI bill can't surprise you

Set a budget. The kernel enforces it — not the agent. At your limit, the process is killed. No runaway loops, no $50K invoice on Monday morning.

Exact replay

Every decision is auditable

Replay any workflow, exactly, from months ago. What the agent saw, what it decided, what it did. Same inputs, same output, every time. Compliance-grade.

Always-on

Workflows don't die silently

Watchers observe your systems 24/7. When a reconciliation breaks, a VaR limit trips, or an API times out — the watcher catches it, reroutes, and escalates before anyone notices.

Zero egress

Your data never leaves your infra

Run the 2MB binary on your own servers. Zero external orchestration calls, zero telemetry. Air-gapped option for regulated deployments. Your data, your infra, full stop.

Real namespaces

Agents can't bleed into each other

Each agent runs in its own PID, mount, and network namespace. A compromised workflow can't read another one's memory or touch another team's data.

Model-agnostic

No vendor lock-in

Switch models, switch providers, switch routing rules — without a code rewrite. Your workflows outlive any single LLM. Claude today, Llama tomorrow, whatever's best next year.
