A lightweight, rolling-release GNU/Linux distribution: it adheres to the KISS principle (Keep It Simple, Stupid) for maximum user control and customization.

Arch Linux is an independently developed, x86-64 general-purpose GNU/Linux distribution. It employs a rolling-release model: users maintain the latest stable software versions with continuous upgrades, eliminating system reinstallation. The core philosophy is user-centric; the default installation is a minimal base system, configured entirely by the user via the command-line. Key tools include the fast, powerful `pacman` package manager and the massive, community-driven Arch User Repository (AUR), offering thousands of build scripts for packages outside the official repos.

### [Fast, Human-In-The-Loop Agents, built via traditional APIs](https://seattle.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_13lhzPPWtwQ)

We'll walk through Arch - an intelligent gateway for agents - engineered with small LLMs that offer best-in-class intent routing, guardrails, fast function calling and observability capabilities, so that developers can focus on the stuff that matters: features and business logic. Arch is built by the team that built Envoy at Lyft and offered as an open source primitive for developers.
