Compare OpenRig to other approaches

Multi-agent harnesses and topologies are still an emerging category. Most people do not have a stable mental model for the space yet. These comparison pages exist to make the shape of the category legible fast, not to force everything into a fake one-dimensional ranking.

Some approaches keep everything inside a single coding session. Some run managed agents in the cloud. Some come from the older multi-agent-framework world. OpenRig comes from a different direction: explicit topology, visible nodes, and infrastructure you can actually operate. Use the pages below to compare the main approaches, see where OpenRig fits, and decide which model matches how you want to work.
