Bring Your Own Runtime: Custom Agent Support

Padiso now supports custom agent runtimes alongside OpenClaw and Claude. Here's how to get started.

By Padiso Team

When we launched Padiso, we supported two agent runtimes: OpenClaw and Claude. Today, we're announcing support for custom runtimes — bring any agent framework, model, or architecture to Padiso.


Why Custom Runtimes?


Every team has different needs. Some want Claude's reasoning capabilities. Others prefer OpenAI's GPT models. Some have built proprietary agents on fine-tuned open-weight models like Llama or Mistral. And some use custom frameworks entirely.


Padiso shouldn't dictate your AI stack. It should orchestrate whatever you choose.


How It Works


Custom runtimes integrate with Padiso through our Agent Protocol — a lightweight API that defines how agents receive tasks, access tools, and report results.


1.Implement the Agent Protocol: Your runtime needs to handle task assignment, tool calls, and status reporting.
2.Package as a container: Wrap your runtime in a Docker container with our base image or your own.
3.Deploy to Padiso: Push your container and configure it through the dashboard or API.
4.Connect integrations: Your custom runtime gets full access to all MCP integrations, just like built-in runtimes.

What You Get


Custom runtimes on Padiso get everything built-in runtimes get:


•Automatic scaling and resource management
•Full monitoring and analytics
•Access to all MCP integrations
•Isolated environments and encryption
•Audit trails and compliance

The only difference is you control the agent's brain.


Supported Runtimes


Out of the box, Padiso now supports:


•Claude: (Anthropic) — Advanced reasoning and coding
•OpenAI: (GPT-4o, o1) — Versatile with strong tool use
•OpenClaw: — Open-source, fully customizable
•Gemini: (Google) — Multimodal with long context
•Llama: (Meta) — Open-weight, self-hostable
•Mistral: — Fast and efficient
•Custom: — Anything that speaks our protocol

Your agents, your choice. Padiso handles the rest.
