It offers unique offline-first capabilities along with multi-framework support on consumer hardware. [agentos](https://docs.agentos.sh) reports 617 GitHub stars, 92 forks, and 10 open issues, last pushed Aug 7, 2026. [taOS](https://taOS.my) has 495 stars, 36 forks, and 302 open issues, last pushed Aug 25, 2026. Figures are from public GitHub metadata via [agentos's repository](https://github.com/framerslab/agentos) and [taOS's repository](https://github.com/jaylfc/taOS). | | [agentos](/tools/framerslab-agentos.md) | [taOS](/tools/jaylfc-taos.md) | | --- | --- | --- | | Tagline | TypeScript AI agent framework providing cognitive memory and runtime tool forging with support for multi-agent orchestration | Self-hosted AI agent OS with memory, chat, and multi-framework group chat support. | | Stars | 617 | 495 | | Forks | 92 | 36 | | Open issues | 10 | 302 | | Language | TypeScript | Python | | Adopt for | AgentOS supports eleven LLM providers with runtime tool forging capabilities for cognitive memory in TypeScript. | taOS is a self-hosted AI operating system tailored for environments requiring data sovereignty and privacy.
