A high performance C++ SDK for AI Agents
Last verified:
What is Agents Cpp Sdk?
The Agents Cpp Sdk (RunEdge AI Agents C++ SDK) is a high-performance, edge-native C++ framework for building autonomous AI agents that run locally without cloud dependency. It is optimized for speed and memory efficiency, making it ideal for robots, edge devices, laptops, and physical AI systems. The SDK enables developers to create multi-modal agents capable of reasoning across vision, audio, and text, with built-in support for tool use and extensible tool registration.
Key features include built-in workflow patterns like prompt chaining, multi-agent routing, parallel execution, orchestrator-worker, and evaluator-optimizer. The SDK supports multiple LLM providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and local models via Ollama and llama.cpp. It offers ReAct and Plan-Execute reasoning strategies, an extensible tool system with built-in web search, Wikipedia, and Python code execution, and runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows with C++20 and Bazel.
This tool is designed for C++ developers building autonomous AI applications for robotics, edge computing, IoT devices, desktop applications, and high-throughput services. It serves developers who need offline-capable, low-latency, privacy-conscious AI agent systems. The SDK includes eight ready-to-run examples covering basic agents to full multi-modal orchestration, making it easy to get started quickly.

Frequently asked questions about Agents Cpp Sdk
What is the AI Agents SDK?
The AI Agents SDK is a C++ framework for building autonomous AI agents that run locally without cloud dependency. It is edge-native, optimized for speed and memory efficiency, and designed for robots, edge devices, and laptops.
Which LLM providers are supported?
The SDK supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and local models via Ollama and llama.cpp. You can switch providers without rewriting agent logic.
What reasoning strategies are available?
ReAct (Reason + Act) and Plan-Execute are built in. Chain-of-Thought, Zero-Shot, and Reflexion are coming soon.
What workflow patterns are included?
The SDK includes prompt chaining, multi-agent routing, parallel execution, orchestrator-worker, and evaluator-optimizer patterns so you don't have to build orchestration from scratch.
Can I use the SDK offline?
Yes, the SDK is designed for local execution with no cloud dependency. You can use local models via Ollama and llama.cpp for fully offline operation.
What platforms are supported?
The SDK runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It requires C++20 with Bazel build system and compilers GCC 14+, Clang 17+, or MSVC 2022+.
How do I register custom tools?
The SDK has an extensible tool system with a tool registry. Built-in tools include web search, Wikipedia, and Python code execution. You can register custom tools through the tool registry.
What is included in the free Starter plan?
The free Starter plan includes the open-source Agents SDK, workflow patterns, multi-provider LLM support, ReAct agent strategy, extensible tool system, and community support for 1 device per API key.
Does the SDK support multi-modal agents?
Yes, the SDK supports multi-modal agents that can process and reason across vision, audio, and text modalities for robust agentic capabilities.
How do I get started with the SDK?
Clone the repo, set your API key in a .env file or environment variable, and run your first agent in minutes. Start with the simple_agent example which creates a basic autonomous agent that can use tools.
