Why it matters

Self-hosted multi-agent runtime eliminates vendor lock-in and reduces inference costs by supporting 23+ LLM providers. Agent memory and scheduling enable persistent, autonomous workflows without rebuilding orchestration from scratch.

Best for

Teams building internal agent systems who need fine-grained control, cost optimization across LLM providers, or compliance requirements preventing cloud-hosted inference.
