TrueFoundry, a San Francisco-based B2B machine learning startup, has released an open-source AI agent harness called TrueForge under the MIT License. The harness aims to provide developers with greater control over AI agents and tools while reducing costs. TrueFoundry claims that when paired with the open-source GLM-5.2 LLM, TrueForge can complete 11 of 14 tasks on DevRev's Enterprise-Bench 75% cheaper than Anthropic's Claude Managed Agents.
The company's co-founder and COO, Anuraag Gutgutia, stated that TrueForge is not a replacement for other harnesses but rather a vendor-neutral solution that can be used alongside other managed agents. TrueForge's architecture focuses on context engineering, allowing developers to control how much information is sent back into the model on every step of an agent run.
