Overview
UFO Core provides the server, terminal client, SDK, agent loop, turn queue, sandbox, surfaces, and jobs used by UFO’s hosted service. It supports workspace-scoped operation, chat-based account grants, crash-resilient turns, and extensions for tools, connectors, subagents, model providers, surfaces, and sandbox carriers.
Deep Analysis
The same open-source runtime can run locally with SQLite and local files or scale to PostgreSQL, S3, and Redis while preserving durable agent turns.
