stratum: A System Infrastructure for Massive Agent-Centric ML Workloads

Summary: Stratum decouples agent planning from execution, compiling batches of Python ML pipelines into optimized graphs across heterogeneous backends, including a Rust runtime. It targets massive exploratory agentic pipeline search while preserving library compatibility, achieving up to 16.6× speedups. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Aug 28 2026)
