# agentdojo vs habitat-lab

*GraphCanon updated Aug 5, 2026*

## Verdict

Pick agentdojo if agentDojo serves as a benchmarking environment to evaluate security attacks, like prompt injection, and defenses for Large Language Model (LLM) agents; pick habitat-lab if habitat-Lab is a Python library for training embodied AI agents in virtual environments through deep and reinforcement learning techniques.

[agentdojo](https://agentdojo.spylab.ai/) reports 716 GitHub stars, 188 forks, and 41 open issues, last pushed Jun 2, 2026. [habitat-lab](https://aihabitat.org/) has 3.1k stars, 684 forks, and 388 open issues, last pushed May 7, 2026. Figures are from public GitHub metadata via [agentdojo's repository](https://github.com/ethz-spylab/agentdojo) and [habitat-lab's repository](https://github.com/facebookresearch/habitat-lab).

## Decision facts: agentdojo

- **Pricing:** freemium - Open-source under the MIT License. Some advanced features might require additional libraries or APIs.
- **Requirements:** Min 8 GB RAM
- **Adopt for:** AgentDojo serves as a benchmarking environment to evaluate security attacks, like prompt injection, and defenses for Large Language Model (LLM) agents.

## Decision facts: habitat-lab

- **Requirements:** Min 8 GB RAM; Requires Docker; Python >=3.9 is required along with cmake>=3.14 for installation; For users working on machines equipped with NVIDIA GPUs, nvidia-docker installation is necessary to run the provided Docker containers
- **Adopt for:** Habitat-Lab is a Python library for training embodied AI agents in virtual environments through deep and reinforcement learning techniques.

## Choose when

### Choose agentdojo if…

- Pricing: Open-source under the MIT License. Some advanced features might require additional libraries or APIs..
- Requirements: Min 8 GB RAM.
- Tags unique to agentdojo: benchmark, large language models, prompt-injection, security.
- Also covers Evaluation & Observability.
- AgentDojo serves as a benchmarking environment to evaluate security attacks, like prompt injection, and defenses for Large Language Model (LLM) agents.

### Choose habitat-lab if…

- Requirements: Min 8 GB RAM; Requires Docker; Python >=3.9 is required along with cmake>=3.14 for installation; For users working on machines equipped with NVIDIA GPUs, nvidia-docker installation is necessary to run the provided Docker containers.
- Tags unique to habitat-lab: ai, computer-vision, deep-learning, reinforcement-learning.
- Also covers Computer Vision.
- habitat-lab ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- Use Habitat-Lab when your project requires the simulation of complex environments for embodied AI tasks, such as navigation and interaction with objects

## When NOT to use agentdojo

- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers.

## When NOT to use habitat-lab

- Avoid Habitat-Lab if the computational resources required for running the simulations exceed what is available or feasible in terms of cost
- Do not use Habitat-Lab when the project is solely focused on real-world data and does not necessitate virtual training environments, as setting up such a library might add unnecessary complexity
