Stacklok launches Mecatl, a cloud-native agent framework
What happened
Stacklok, founded by Kubernetes co-creators Craig McLuckie and Joe Beda, is moving the agent harness from the desktop to the cloud. On 7 October 2026, Latent Space published an interview with the two discussing whether a cloud-native harness can let agents run reliably beyond the desktop. So far the coverage only concerns that interview and Stacklok's direction; no specific features, release date or performance results for the framework have been disclosed.
