  • Can I bring my models from openrouter to start experimenting?
  • You can use OpenRouter via their OpenAI-compatible endpoint. TrueForge allows adding any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

    We support most of the popular frontier and open models directly + some models via inference platforms like Together and Fireworks.

    Native OpenRouter support and more providers are coming soon.

  • Why use this instead of the other more well-established open-source agent harnesses out there?
  • Especially Pi, that's kind of the gold standard for open harnesses
  • Fair question.

    Reason we opened TrueForge is most open harnesses out there do one of these 2 things: 1. Either a CLI coding agent that's great for individual devs 2. A framework that you assemble during runtime

    That's the gap we're looking to solve. TrueForge provides full runtime. Build agents via UI/APIs, run them self-hosted with an out-of-the-box sandbox, MCP tools, approvals, session traces.

    Also, we benchmarked ourselves against popular harnesses like Claude Managed Agents and deepagents; and we're significantly cheaper at similar accuracy because of the context engineering.

    Would love it if you're check the repo. We're actively working on improving the core harness further in the coming weeks!
