[go-streams](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/reugn/go-streams) reports 2.2k GitHub stars, 174 forks, and 12 open issues, last pushed Jan 14, 2026. [AutoGPT](https://agpt.co) has 187k stars, 46k forks, and 593 open issues, last pushed Sep 18, 2026.

If you are seeking a paid plan with plan-dependent support, as the self-hosted option relies on community support. ### Is go-streams or AutoGPT more popular on GitHub? AutoGPT has more GitHub stars (187,424 vs 2,172). Stars measure visibility, not whether either tool fits your constraints. ### Are go-streams and AutoGPT open source? Yes - both are open-source projects on GitHub (go-streams: MIT, AutoGPT: Other). ### Where can I find alternatives to go-streams or AutoGPT? GraphCanon lists graph-backed alternatives at [go-streams alternatives](/tools/reugn-go-streams/alternatives) and [AutoGPT alternatives](/tools/significant-gravitas-autogpt/alternatives) ([go-streams markdown twin](/tools/reugn-go-streams/alternatives.md), [AutoGPT markdown twin](/tools/significant-gravitas-autogpt/alternatives.md)), ranked by typed relationship edges rather than popularity votes. ### Is there a machine-readable version of this comparison? Yes. The markdown twin at [this comparison](/compare/reugn-go-streams-vs-significant-gravitas-autogpt.md) mirrors this page for agents and LLM crawlers, with the same stats table and FAQ answers. ### Which is better maintained, go-streams or AutoGPT? go-streams: Slowing. AutoGPT: Very active. Compare maintenance labels, days since push, and release cadence in the trust section below - stars alone do not measure maintenance. ### Where are the full trust reports for go-streams and AutoGPT? GraphCanon publishes per-repo trust reports with dated maintenance, provenance, and scan summaries: [go-streams trust report](/tools/reugn-go-streams/trust); [AutoGPT trust report](/tools/significant-gravitas-autogpt/trust). --- **Machine-readable endpoints** - JSON: [`/api/graphcanon/graph?tool=reugn-go-streams`](/api/graphcanon/graph?tool=reugn-go-streams) - LLM index: [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) - Full corpus: [/llms-full.txt](/llms-full.txt) _GraphCanon - The knowledge graph for AI development. https://www.graphcanon.com/_
