Claude and I had a pretty good relationship. For 15 months.
I paid. I upgraded. I built things. I genuinely loved the product.
On Oct 11, Anthropic gave me $200 in API credits.
On Oct 15, they suspended my account.
On Oct 16, they denied my appeal.
Apparently, after 15 months together, our relationship wasn't supported in my country.

3 months ago, I saw eve for the first time.
It gave me the exact same chills I felt when I first discovered Next.js 8 years ago: "This is how we will build AI agents."
Except there was one massive dealbreaker for any real company:
Why must all our enterprise agents live on Vercel's cloud? 🧵👇
Vercel made Next.js ubiquitous. But what made Next.js an industry standard was that anyone could self-host it on their own terms.
Eve deserves the same ecosystem freedom.
Your data.
Your internal network.
Your hardware.

We just open-sourced Eveland on GitHub:
⭐ Repo: github.com/evelandhq/eveland
📖 Discussion on Eve: github.com/vercel/eve/discus…
If you're building agents behind corporate firewalls or tired of cloud lock-in, give it a spin!
Drop a ⭐ if you believe in open agent infrastructure. RT the first tweet to help fellow devs escape laptop-hosting purgatory! 🔁

Most people deploy AI Agents by dumping them into Docker or calling them via stateless Serverless.
That works fine until your Agent needs bash access, long-lived sessions, and <50ms cold starts.
I spent the last 2 months building Eveland (@evelandhq): a production-ready, self-hosted runtime for AI Agents.
Open-sourced today. Here is the engineering behind it 🧵👇

2/ Agent-native Gateway:
Agents aren't traditional REST APIs. They hold execution memory, background tool loops, and long SSE streams.
Eveland includes a dedicated proxy that binds requests to agent instances, injects OpenTelemetry traces on the fly, and routes dynamically via session tokens.

Built natively for the Eve ecosystem, but designed for any self-hosted agent workflow.
Fully self-hostable in one line:
curl -fsSL eveland.ai/install.sh | bash
