Reef: Open‑Source Infrastructure for Continual Self‑Improving Agents

• Fact It connects agent inference, feedback, learning, and versioned delivery.[1]AIIt connects agent inference, feedback, learning, and versioned delivery.
• Fact Reef supports learning surfaces for model weights and agent harnesses.[1]AIReef supports two learning surfaces: model weights and agent harnesses.
• Fact Inference endpoints are OpenAI‑ and Anthropic‑compatible and include a custom header for scenario identification.[1]AIReef's inference endpoint is OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible: /v1/chat/completions and /v1/messages take the provider's own request body.
