Future Architecture

Next-Generation Agentic Patterns

Experimental architectures integrating emerging techniques with proven open-source components

Small Language Models (SLMs) + Agent Swarms

Run secure SLMs inside the company boundary to keep sensitive data in-house. Right-size models for tasks that do not need large LLMs, serve them with KServe, and orchestrate with MCP for distributed reasoning and task delegation.

LoRA Adapters for SLM Specialization

Use lightweight LoRA adapters to specialize SLMs for domain tasks without full fine-tuning. Keep training data inside the company boundary and deploy multiple adapters on top of a shared base model.

Sovereign LLM Sourcing (EU Vendors)

Prioritize European LLM vendors and sovereign cloud hosting to align with data residency requirements. Build portable inference stacks that can run on EU-based providers without lock-in.

Multi-Agent Coordination Layers

Advanced patterns for agent collaboration: hierarchical planning (meta-agents directing sub-agents), consensus-based decision making, and dynamic role assignment using Kubernetes for scheduling and isolation.

Inference Optimization at Scale

Dynamic batching, speculative decoding, and attention optimization for inference workloads. Integrate with vLLM, TensorRT, and quantization frameworks on Kubernetes for cost-efficient agent serving.

Edge Agent Deployment

Autonomous agents running at edge: lightweight orchestration, local decision-making with cloud sync, offline-first patterns. Extend Kubernetes to edge using KubeEdge or similar for unified control plane.

Self-Healing & Autonomous Feedback

Agents that monitor their own performance, detect failures, and self-correct. Leverage Kubernetes operators, policy engines (Kyverno), and observability (Prometheus, Loki) for autonomous remediation.

Supply Chain Security for Agent Artifacts

Advanced policy composition: verify agent code provenance, enforce software bill of materials (SBOM), secure container scanning for agent workloads. Integrate Sigstore, Kyverno ClusterPolicies, and admission controllers.
