TrueFoundry has launched TrueForge, an open-source agent harness that gives enterprise teams a way to build, deploy, debug, and govern production AI agents without the vendor lock-in built into most managed agent platforms. TrueForge is an alternative to Claude Managed Agents and allows enterprises to build on any model or MCP server while reducing total agent operating costs by 50%.
TrueForge open-source agent harness with 50% lower operating costs.
Supports OpenAI, Anthropic, and 20+ additional models.
Includes 40+ built-in tools, sandboxed execution, and human-approval workflows.
Paired with TrueFoundry AI Gateway processing 1T+ tokens daily for enterprise customers.
Enterprises including Automatiq and NetApp already running agentic workloads.
Available on GitHub today with hosted pay-per-usage version.
Open models such as GLM-5.2 are rapidly closing the gap with frontier proprietary models at a fraction of the cost, yet most managed agent platforms still lock enterprises into a single vendor's models, infrastructure, and pricing. The first wave of AI agents lived on individual developers' laptops, inside coding tools and prototypes. The next wave is moving into customer-facing products and shared workflows, a shift that turns the harness underneath those products into a strategic control point. TrueForge gives teams the ability to run on their own infrastructure, bring their own models, MCP servers, and API keys, and route each task to whichever model fits the cost, latency, or quality needs of that job.
TrueForge ships with support for OpenAI, Anthropic, and 20+ additional models, along with 40+ built-in tools, sandboxed execution, human-approval workflows, large-context handling, generative UI, and web search powered by Tavily. Paired with TrueFoundry's AI Gateway and MCP Gateway, which already process more than 1 trillion tokens a day for enterprise customers, every model and tool call an agent makes is logged, governed, and policy-controlled. TrueFoundry is also launching a hosted, pay-per-usage version of TrueForge for teams that want the same experience without managing the infrastructure themselves.
"The biggest lesson from building AI infrastructure at Meta was that control and convenience aren't opposites — with the right platform, you get both. Outside of big tech, teams are still forced to pick one the moment they hit production," said Nikunj Bajaj, co-founder and CEO of TrueFoundry. "TrueForge closes that gap: a world-class agent-building experience, open source, on any model, with enterprise governance built in at a fraction of the cost."
"TrueFoundry has become the central platform in IT where agentic apps and agents are routed through. We are onboarding more users and teams every day, and it's fundamentally changed how quickly we can get an agent from an idea to something running at scale," said Robert Rubin, Senior Director of Platform Engineering at NetApp.
