It's recommended to migrate towards Cerebrum, which offers a newer SDK. [agent-orchestrator](http://aoagents.dev/) reports 9.2k GitHub stars, 1.3k forks, and 634 open issues, last pushed Aug 10, 2026. [OpenAGI](https://docs.aios.foundation) has 2.3k stars, 211 forks, and 10 open issues, last pushed Nov 28, 2024.
