Fractal adds root budgets, Markdown memory files, and hard caps for recursive agents
rohanpaul_ai · x · 2026-07-22
Fractal limits recursive agent runs with a single root budget that parents allocate down to children.
Constraints
- Each node runs under its own ceiling.
- Depth, fan-out, iterations, and wall-clock time can all be capped.
Storage and runtime
- Memory is stored as topic-based Markdown files on each node's branch, so useful findings persist across iterations and stay versioned.
- The system is hosted locally and uses straightforward tooling rather than a special runtime.
