After some discussion with @raravena80 at https://cloud-native.slack.com/archives/C08Q78J65A7/p1750798175012329 , I want to share a demo of multi-agent orchestrator framework based on code base at https://github.com/gyliu513/aichestra
I also opened an issue at https://github.com/cncf/tag-runtime/issues/218 for discussion, thanks!
Following up on a chat with @raravena80 at https://github.com/cncf/sandbox/issues/372#issuecomment-2863609405 , I would like to talk about KAI scheduler and give a little intro to the project
