It's recommended to migrate towards Cerebrum, which offers a newer SDK. - **License detail:** MIT license allows freedom to use for any purpose with attribution. ## Choose when ### Choose OpenAGI if… - OpenAGI is primarily Python; cc-switch is Rust. - OpenAGI is a self-hostable package that requires deployment and management on your own infrastructure. - Pricing: Free to use under MIT license; free for non-commercial purposes, commercial projects might require additional agreements or payment plans not specified in the repository.. - Tags unique to OpenAGI: agents, agiresearch, aios. - - **Current Projects**: If you have existing projects built on OpenAGI and they need continued maintenance or minor updates rather than a major overhaul ### Choose cc-switch if… - cc-switch is primarily Rust; OpenAGI is Python. - Tags unique to cc-switch: ai-tools, claude-code, codex, desktop-app. - Also covers Developer Tools. ## When NOT to use OpenAGI - - **New Projects**: OpenAGI recommends migration to Cerebrum, marking it unsuitable for new projects looking towards future-proof solutions - - **Advanced Development Needs**: When requiring enhanced capabilities or features that are only included in the newer framework (Cerebrum), sticking with OpenAGI may limit advancement ## When NOT to use cc-switch - AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism. - Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between OpenAGI and cc-switch? OpenAGI: Agent creation package for building agents in AIOS. cc-switch: A cross-platform desktop All-in-One assistant for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, OpenClaw, Gemini CLI & Hermes Agent. Only official website: ccswitch.io. See the comparison table for live GitHub stats and shared categories. ### When should I choose OpenAGI over cc-switch? Choose OpenAGI over cc-switch when OpenAGI is primarily Python; cc-switch is Rust; OpenAGI is a self-hostable package that requires deployment and management on your own infrastructure; Pricing: Free to use under MIT license; free for non-commercial purposes, commercial projects might require additional agreements or payment plans not specified in the repository.; Tags unique to OpenAGI: agents, agiresearch, aios; - **Current Projects**: If you have existing projects built on OpenAGI and they need continued maintenance or minor updates rather than a major overhaul. ### When should I choose cc-switch over OpenAGI? Choose cc-switch over OpenAGI when cc-switch is primarily Rust; OpenAGI is Python; Tags unique to cc-switch: ai-tools, claude-code, codex, desktop-app; Also covers Developer Tools. ### When should I avoid OpenAGI? - **New Projects**: OpenAGI recommends migration to Cerebrum, marking it unsuitable for new projects looking towards future-proof solutions - **Advanced Development Needs**: When requiring enhanced capabilities or features that are only included in the newer framework (Cerebrum), sticking with OpenAGI may limit advancement ### When should I avoid cc-switch?
