ARIS is composed of three primary systems: registry, worker nodes, and clients.

​
Core components

Registry

Handles authentication, node discovery, and usage settlement.

Worker nodes

Execute inference jobs and report usage to the registry.

Clients

SDK-enabled applications that submit prompts and receive results.

​
Request lifecycle

1

Discovery

Client requests eligible nodes from the registry.
2

Handshake

Client establishes a short-lived session with a selected node.
3

Inference

Client sends prompt and receives generated output.
4

Settlement

Node reports usage and credits are reconciled.
