Parallax AI
Parallax is an orchestration layer for multi-agent AI systems. It lets you compose consensus, voting, and confidence-scored pipelines in YAML or a visual builder, then run them through a control plane that coordinates agents and publishes execution traces. It is built for teams shipping agent workflows to production, not one-off chatbot demos.
The architecture separates orchestration from execution. A centralized control plane handles consensus, confidence gates, and tracing while agent runtimes can live locally, in Docker, or on Kubernetes. You are not locked into one model provider or runtime. Patterns cover voting for classification, merge for extraction, verification flows, and multi-step pipelines with retries and fallbacks.
Developers use the TypeScript SDK to register agents, define patterns, and execute workflows from code or the CLI. The open source edition includes unlimited agents, all pattern types, the Pattern Builder, and full Prism DSL support. Enterprise tiers add persistence, audit logs, a web dashboard, scheduled patterns, HA clustering, RBAC, and SSO for production deployments.
Define voting, consensus, and merge flows in YAML or the visual Pattern Builder
Run agents locally, in Docker, or on Kubernetes from one control plane
Confidence thresholds, retries, and fallback strategies gate every result
Ready-made patterns for moderation, extraction, verification, and research
TypeScript SDK ships ParallaxAgent and ParallaxClient for code-first workflows
Execution traces show which agents passed, failed, or triggered a review
Open source core is free forever with unlimited agents and every pattern type.
Orchestration stays separate from agent runtimes, so you can mix models and deployment targets.
Built-in confidence gates, retries, and fallbacks reduce flaky multi-agent output in production.
Enterprise tier adds PostgreSQL persistence, audit logs, RBAC, and SSO for team deployments.
Open source edition stores state in memory only, so data is lost on restart.
Enterprise pricing requires a minimum of three nodes at 500 dollars per node per month.
TypeScript SDK targets Node.js 18+ with no other official language SDKs listed on the docs site.
Is Parallax free to use?
Yes. Parallax open source is free forever with unlimited agents, all pattern types, the Pattern Builder, Prism DSL, and the full CLI. Enterprise and Enterprise Plus tiers add production features like persistence, audit logs, and high availability for paid deployments.
How does Parallax orchestrate multiple agents?
Parallax uses a control plane that coordinates agents, distributes tasks, and aggregates results through strategies like voting, consensus, or merge. You define patterns in YAML or the visual builder, and the control plane handles parallel execution, confidence scoring, and execution tracing.
What runtimes does Parallax support?
Parallax agents can run locally on your machine, inside Docker containers, or on Kubernetes clusters. The control plane can be started via Docker with parallax/control-plane:latest or built from the open source GitHub repository.
Does Parallax offer an enterprise free trial?
Yes. Parallax Enterprise includes a 30-day free trial. You can start it with parallax deploy --trial or by setting a PARALLAX_LICENSE_KEY environment variable. Enterprise pricing starts at 500 dollars per month per node with a minimum of three nodes.
What SDK does Parallax provide?
Parallax ships a TypeScript SDK (@parallaxai/sdk-typescript) for Node.js 18 and above. It includes ParallaxAgent for registering workers and ParallaxClient for executing patterns. A PatternBuilder API is also available from @parallaxai/pattern-sdk.
What orchestration patterns does Parallax include?
Parallax includes voting patterns for classification, quality gates with confidence thresholds and retries, extraction patterns that merge agent output, verification patterns for translation and fact-checking, and advanced multi-step compositions for research and document pipelines.
Does Parallax support high availability deployments?
High availability clustering with leader election, state sync, failover, and rolling updates is available on Parallax Enterprise and Enterprise Plus. The open source edition runs in-memory only and does not persist state across restarts.
