EightX Labs Opens 'agnt8x,' a Provider-Neutral Agent Marketplace, and Publishes the Open-Source EightX Agent Manifest (EAM) v0.1

PR Newswire·medium signal

EightX Labs publicly launched agnt8x, a provider-neutral platform to hire, onboard, manage, and orchestrate AI agents across every major LLM under one 'Passport,' audit trail, and contract, built from five modules (FIND, FORGE, STUDIO, MANAGE, CONDUCTOR) with a marketplace where developers can publish and monetize agents. It ships the open-source EightX Agent Manifest (EAM) v0.1 under Apache 2.0 to make agent definitions portable across runtimes without provider lock-in, plus SaaS, single-tenant, and in-VPC 'EMBASSY' deployment modes. Chaired by ex-CLS Bank CEO David Puth, the notable signal is the portable-manifest standardization play rather than the marketplace itself.
