Compute

Source

Eden's Compute category turns laptops, private servers, cloud instances, and GPU workers into a governed runtime surface.

Runtime and Fleet coordinates fleets, nodes, model runtimes, compatibility, placement, shared state, capacity, and health. Gateway provides the governed client boundary for workloads exposed through Eden.

Core concepts

ConceptPurpose
FleetA group of runtime nodes operated under common organization and policy boundaries.
NodeAn enrolled machine or runtime worker with an immutable identity and declared capabilities.
RuntimeThe software that executes a workload, such as an eligible model server.
Compatibility profileThe model, runtime, hardware, protocol, and state-sharing constraints a route must satisfy.
PlacementThe decision about where work should run based on policy, capacity, latency, privacy, and cost.
Desired stateThe models, runtimes, capacity, and health conditions the control plane reconciles.

Capabilities

Workload runtime

Run eligible services and inference workloads across local, private, public, and managed environments without changing the client-facing gateway contract.

Fleets and nodes

Enroll machines with explicit identities, capabilities, compatibility, fleet membership, and allowed gateway principals.

Placement and scheduling

Choose eligible runtimes using policy, capacity, latency, locality, privacy, cost, licensing, hardware, and compatibility constraints.

Model serving

Operate compatible local and vLLM-style runtimes behind the same governed AI gateway used for managed providers. See Run AI.

Capacity sharing

Pool, allocate, or lease eligible capacity without merging tenant credentials, namespaces, policy, or telemetry boundaries.

Runtime health

Track node availability, utilization, drain state, session lifecycle, and failover signals through Operations & Security.

Security boundary

A runtime node is not an unauthenticated public endpoint. Enrollment identity, fleet membership, allowed gateway principals, model compatibility, and lease scope are checked before traffic can use it. Private and marketplace capacity must retain separate credentials, namespaces, and telemetry boundaries.
