# OpenAGI vs agent-learning-kit

*GraphCanon updated Sep 20, 2026*

## Verdict

Pick OpenAGI if openAGI is an agent creation package allowing for the development of AI agents that can integrate with the AIOS system. It's recommended to migrate towards Cerebrum, which offers a newer SDK; pick agent-learning-kit if agent-learning-kit is a Python-based toolkit for evaluating and simulating AI workflows, particularly suited for AI agents. It offers optional extras for specific functionalities.

[OpenAGI](https://docs.aios.foundation) reports 2.3k GitHub stars, 212 forks, and 10 open issues, last pushed Nov 28, 2024. [agent-learning-kit](https://futureagi.com) has 119 stars, 44 forks, and 19 open issues, last pushed Sep 18, 2026. Figures are from public GitHub metadata via [OpenAGI's repository](https://github.com/agiresearch/OpenAGI) and [agent-learning-kit's repository](https://github.com/future-agi/agent-learning-kit).

## Choose when

### Choose OpenAGI if…

- License: OpenAGI is MIT, agent-learning-kit is Other.
- 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 agent-learning-kit if…

- License: agent-learning-kit is Other, OpenAGI is MIT.
- Tags unique to agent-learning-kit: agentic-ai, ai-agents, cicd, evaluation.
- Also covers Evaluation & Observability.
- When you need a comprehensive environment for evaluating and simulating AI workflows, especially for AI agents

## 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 agent-learning-kit

- If your project strictly requires a different programming language other than Python or TypeScript
- When you need a tool that is already at a mature v1 release, as agent-learning-kit is still developing its TypeScript SDK and extras
