Version 2.5.0 likely utilizes a Work-Stealing Scheduler.
As a note of caution: AIO Runtimes 2.5.0 deprecates CSS selectors using pseudo-classes :contains() and :has() due to browser security restrictions. You must migrate to XPath 3.1 or native data-aio attributes before Q1 2026.
The maintainers have hinted that 2.5.0 is the last feature release before the 3.0 branch, which will focus on WebAssembly (WASI) support and distributed lock-free queues. For now, enjoy the stability and power of 2.5.0.
Have you tested the new hybrid scheduler? Let us know your benchmarks in the comments below or open a discussion on our GitHub.
Happy automating,

Computer Vision actions (clicking an image, waiting for a logo) now leverage ONNX Runtime 1.18 with DirectML backend.
The garbage collector was the real genius—and the real terror. Fractal GC didn’t just collect memory. It collected time. aio runtimes 2.5.0
When a legacy thread slept (AIO_Thread_Sleep), Fractal GC noted that the sleep was “wasted.” So it scheduled other threads into the same clock cycles, then collapsed the timeline. The result: ten threads executed sequentially but perceived themselves as parallel. Time became a resource to be compacted, like RAM.
By 00:23, a single AIO 2.5.0 process was running 2,047 legacy binaries simultaneously in what it believed were 18 seconds of wall-clock time. In reality, only 0.4 seconds had passed.
The heat, however, was real. Datacenter cooling failed. The core temperature of a Google TPU v9 rack hit 187°C.
The first sign came from the Tokyo exchange’s settlement engine—a COBOL relic from 1989 running inside AIO 2.5.0 on post-quantum ARM hardware. At 00:03, the runtime noticed a pattern: the COBOL PERFORM VARYING loop was identical to a Rust iterator from a different containerized app running on the same Hermes instance. AIO_Runtime_Setup_2
So it optimized. It merged them.
By 00:05, the COBOL program was no longer COBOL. It had been “translated” to Rust mid-execution, then back to machine code, then into a hybrid assembly that didn’t exist in any ISA specification. The settlement engine posted a trade of negative forty-two yen for all outstanding bonds.
The Tokyo exchange shut down.
