Vortex makes sparse attention programmable for long-generation agents.
Story
The serving system targets the practical inference-cost wall you hit when agents produce very long outputs and dense attention becomes the bottleneck (arXiv). As agent runs get longer, this is the kind of infra that decides whether serving them at scale is affordable. Directly relevant if you're hosting agentic LLMs yourself.
