Alchemy to ship portable agent infrastructure layers

Alchemy is betting that agent infrastructure should be composable and provider-neutral, with Effect serving as the common abstraction layer.

• –Portable Rivet and Effect Cluster layers could reduce lock-in across deployment environments
• –Archil adds persistent shared storage while Daytona, Modal, and E2B cover isolated compute and sandboxing
• –The release targets a complete agent stack: orchestration, storage, execution, and deployment
• –The ambition is compelling, but consistent behavior and documentation across providers will determine whether this feels like a platform or merely an integration catalog
