GAIA Agents Hub

Target: Q2 2026 | Status: Planning | Priority: High

Work in Progress - This plan is actively being refined. Feedback welcome.

Overview

The GAIA Agents Hub is a platform for publishing, discovering, and running AI agents built on the GAIA SDK. It provides:

A searchable agent registry for browsing and installing agents
An Agent Arena backed by AMD Strix Halo cloud hardware for remote testing
A CI/CD pipeline for validating, packaging, and deploying agent submissions
CLI integration via gaia agent commands for local install and publish workflows

Seed Agents

The Hub launches with existing GAIA agents as initial content:

Agent	Category	Use Case	Source
GaiaAgent (née `ChatAgent`, renamed in v0.20.0)	Documents	Document Q&A with RAG	`agents/chat/`
CodeAgent	Code	Code generation and editing	`agents/code/`
BlenderAgent	Creative	3D scene automation	`agents/blender/`
JiraAgent	Productivity	Issue management with NLP	`agents/jira/`
DockerAgent	DevOps	Container management	`agents/docker/`
MedicalIntakeAgent	Healthcare	Form processing with VLM	`hub/agents/python/emr/`
RoutingAgent	Infrastructure	Intelligent agent selection	`agents/routing/`
SDAgent	Creative	Image generation with SD + VLM	`agents/sd/`
Talk SDK (voice I/O for agents)	Voice	Speech-to-speech wrapper around any agent	`gaia/talk/`

Additional seeds expected when the underlying work lands:

ComputerUseAgent (CUA) — planned for v0.21.0; see the CUA plan.

These agents serve as reference implementations and starter templates for community submissions.

Session timeout and concurrency limits are enforced at the orchestration layer

3. Developer Profiles and Badges

A system for tracking contributions and recognizing active developers.

Recognition Tiers:

Tier	Criteria	Badge
Member	Joined AMD AI Developer Program	—
Contributor	Published 1+ agent	Contributor
Builder	3+ agents or 100+ total downloads	Builder

Profile Features:

Public or private profile visibility (developer’s choice)
Contribution history: published agents, versions, download stats
Badge display based on contribution tiers above

4. Agent Quality Gates

Automated validation that every submitted agent must pass before it appears in the Hub.

Check	What It Tests
Responds	Agent replies to 3 test prompts within timeout
Stays on task	Responses are relevant to the agent’s declared category
No crashes	Completes test suite without errors
Safe	No security violations in sandboxed environment

Agents that fail these gates are not published. Authors receive detailed failure logs.

Open Questions

Technical

Question	Options	Recommendation
Multi-model support	Single model vs. user choice	Single default model per agent; user override later
Agent sandboxing	gVisor vs. Firecracker vs. Docker	Docker with strict resource limits for MVP
Arena session limits	Fixed time vs. request count	TBD based on infrastructure capacity

Operational

Question	Consideration
Moderation	Community flagging + AMD review for takedown
Disputes	Clear rules published upfront; AMD team as final arbiter

Risks and Mitigations

Risk	Likelihood	Impact	Mitigation
Developer Cloud integration delays	Medium	High	Early coordination, parallel workstreams
Timeline slip	Medium	Medium	Prioritize MVP; defer profiles/badges if needed
Quality variance in submissions	Medium	Low	Automated gates filter basics; community rates quality
