Odyssey debuts bundle-first Rust agent runtime

The pitch makes sense because the real failure mode for agents is not reasoning, it's packaging: tools, policies, and runtime assumptions don't survive the trip from laptop to server to edge.

• –Rust is a credible foundation for lower overhead and memory safety when you want lots of lightweight agents running at once.
• –Bundle-first packaging is a more interesting answer to agent portability than another Python orchestration layer or a generic Docker wrapper.
• –Sandboxing and approvals are the real differentiators; without them, the runtime is just a thin wrapper around tools.
• –Adoption will hinge on whether outsiders can reuse bundles, tools, memory providers, and executors without fighting the format.
• –The alpha status means execution matters more than the pitch now: if the contract stays small and portable, Odyssey could become a useful deployment layer for agents.
