--- title: "openagent vs openhuman" type: "comparison" canonical_url: "https://www.graphcanon.com/compare/haohao-end-openagent-vs-tinyhumansai-openhuman" tools: ["haohao-end-openagent", "tinyhumansai-openhuman"] --- # openagent vs openhuman *GraphCanon updated Sep 20, 2026* ## Verdict Pick openagent if openAgent integrates OpenAI and Dify, focusing on deep reasoning loops, visual workflows, RAG, and agent delegation in Python under MIT license; pick openhuman if openHuman is an open-source agent harness written in Rust, emphasizing local-first memory and agent orchestration. [openagent](https://openllm.cloud) reports 811 GitHub stars, 82 forks, and 49 open issues, last pushed Jul 17, 2026. [openhuman](https://tinyhumans.ai/openhuman) has 40k stars, 3.9k forks, and 199 open issues, last pushed Sep 17, 2026. Figures are from public GitHub metadata via [openagent's repository](https://github.com/Haohao-end/openagent) and [openhuman's repository](https://github.com/tinyhumansai/openhuman). | | [openagent](/tools/haohao-end-openagent.md) | [openhuman](/tools/tinyhumansai-openhuman.md) | | --- | --- | --- | | Tagline | Harness architecture for rapidly building vertical AI agents | Open source agent harness with local-first memory and agent orchestration | | Stars | 811 | 39,866 | | Forks | 82 | 3,931 | | Open issues | 49 | 199 | | Language | Python | Rust | | Adopt for | OpenAgent integrates OpenAI and Dify, focusing on deep reasoning loops, visual workflows, RAG, and agent delegation in Python under MIT license. | OpenHuman is an open-source agent harness written in Rust, emphasizing local-first memory and agent orchestration. | | Persona | - | - | | Runtime | - | - | | License | MIT | GPL-3.0 | | Categories | AI Agents, Data & Retrieval, Vector Databases | AI Agents, Developer Tools | ## Trust and health _Sourced signals - not a safety guarantee.
