It includes features like tracing, evaluations, simulations, datasets, gateway operations, and guardrails. ## Decision facts: trpc-agent-go - **Hosting:** self hosted - trpc-agent-go operates in a self-hosted mode as it's designed for on-premises or bespoke deployment setups within the developer’s control. - **Pricing:** freemium - Being licensed under Apache-2.0, trpc-agent-go is free to use and modify, but developers may face additional costs related to maintenance and scaling as needed for their production systems. - **Adopt for:** trpc-agent-go is a Go framework for developing AI agents with A2A communication and AG-UI interfaces, suitable for projects needing production-grade agent systems with graph workflows. ## Choose when ### Choose future-agi if… - future-agi is primarily Python; trpc-agent-go is Go. - Pricing: Future-AGI is open-source under the Apache 2.0 license, allowing for free use but with potential paid services through deployment and support channels.. - Requirements: Min 4 GB RAM; Requires Docker. - Tags unique to future-agi: ai-gateway, docker-compose, evals, observability. - future-agi ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment. - - Use Future-AGI when you require an end-to-end evaluation platform that supports self-hosting through Docker Compose or VM-based services on public clouds. ### Choose trpc-agent-go if… - trpc-agent-go is primarily Go; future-agi is Python. - trpc-agent-go operates in a self-hosted mode as it's designed for on-premises or bespoke deployment setups within the developer’s control. - Pricing: Being licensed under Apache-2.0, trpc-agent-go is free to use and modify, but developers may face additional costs related to maintenance and scaling as needed for their production systems.. - Tags unique to trpc-agent-go: a2a, a2a-protocol, ag-ui, agent-framework. - When you need support for advanced A2A (agent-to-agent) communication protocols in your project, trpc-agent-go provides specialized tools to facilitate this within a Go ecosystem. ## When NOT to use future-agi - - Avoid using Future-AGI if you require Kubernetes or Helm support as of the current state; though these are planned for future release, they are not yet available. - - If your deployment strategy relies on a managed service like AWS Marketplace, consider other options since it is currently 'Coming Soon'. ## When NOT to use trpc-agent-go - If your project does not require Go language for implementation or lacks the necessity for sophisticated agent-to-agent communication protocols like those supported by trpc-agent-go. - In scenarios where a simpler architecture without dedicated support for graph workflows and extensive observability features is sufficient, trpc-agent-go might introduce unnecessary complexity. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between future-agi and trpc-agent-go? future-agi: End-to-end platform for evaluating, observing, and improving LLM and AI agent applications. trpc-agent-go: A Go framework for building production agent systems with graph workflows.
