Quali expands Torque with agentic control plane

Quali expanded its Torque platform with Agentic Control-Plane capabilities to govern autonomous, GPU-intensive Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads, citing a shift from static pipelines to adaptive, intent-driven environments and continuous decision-making.

The company framed the change as a response to organizations adopting agentic AI and to differences between traditional automation and autonomous assistants; the latter were described as systems that reason continuously, take initiative, and modify infrastructure without waiting for human instruction.

The update described governance features that interpret workload intent and enforce policy in real time while integrating with existing toolchains. Functionality listed in the release included agent-driven operations for blueprinting, cost modeling, drift remediation, lifecycle management, and compliance checks; continuous runtime governance for security, compliance, and financial controls; seamless integration with existing cloud and automation tooling; and governance for GPU-dense and hybrid-cloud environments.

The release stated the new capabilities operated across Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) frameworks, Kubernetes ecosystems, Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) clusters, cloud platforms, and on-premises (on-prem) environments, and said the expanded Agentic Control-Plane capabilities were available immediately as part of the Torque platform.

Koriat said: “AI workloads today behave less like automated jobs and more like autonomous assistants operating at machine speed. Traditional automation was never designed to govern systems that continuously adapt and make decisions on their own. Torque provides an intelligent control plane that interprets intent, enforces guardrails in real time, and governs change as it happens, while building on the automation enterprises already have. As infrastructure becomes increasingly autonomous, governance must be continuous, not static.”

Quali said the expanded capabilities establish a foundation for governing intelligent infrastructure as it continuously changes across clouds, environments, and workloads.
