What it does

Substrate is a platform for building compound AI systems. It offers powerful SDKs with optimized AI models, vector storage, a code interpreter, and agentic control flow. It is designed as an infrastructure for intelligent software, providing simple abstractions for building complex workflows by connecting modular building blocks called nodes. Substrate is optimized for multi-step AI workloads, offering automatic workload tuning, maximum parallelism, and fewer roundtrips.
