Choose moby if…
- moby is primarily Go; open-multi-agent is TypeScript.
- License: moby is Apache-2.0, open-multi-agent is MIT.
- Tags unique to moby: containers, docker, go, golang.
- Also covers Developer Tools.
- moby ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
When NOT to use moby
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
Choose open-multi-agent if…
- open-multi-agent is primarily TypeScript; moby is Go.
- License: open-multi-agent is MIT, moby is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to open-multi-agent: agent-framework, agent-orchestration, agentic-ai, ai-agents.
- Also covers AI Agents.
When NOT to use open-multi-agent
- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
