Temporal Comparison
How does Catalyst's agent runner architecture differ from Temporal's workflow model for AI agents?
Temporal uses a deterministic workflow model where all agent logic must be replay-safe, which can conflict with probabilistic AI agent behavior. Catalyst's agent runner architecture separates agent orchestration from durable execution, allowing probabilistic agent frameworks to run naturally while Catalyst handles state persistence, recovery, and identity. This avoids forcing deterministic constraints on AI agents.
