Notes from building openma. Agent design, integrations, billing, the occasional postmortem.
Kimi Hosted Agents runs the agent harness on Moonshot's cloud. How it compares to OpenMA, and how to move agents, MCP servers, and skills across.
The Claude Agent SDK runs the harness in your process; Managed Agents hosts it. Compare state, sandboxes, recovery, and when to migrate to a managed runtime.
Claude Managed Agents pricing explained: $0.08 per running session-hour plus Claude token costs, with a worked monthly example and the cost-saving paths.
OpenAI Agents API vs Agents SDK vs OpenMA: who runs the agent loop, where sessions live, sandbox options, and when a multi-model runtime fits your team.
OpenSandbox is AAIF's self-hosted sandbox API and runtime. How it relates to OpenEnv and Harbor, and how OpenMA uses it as an optional sandbox provider.
Is the OpenAI Agents API open source? Compare the managed API, open-source Agents SDK, and OpenMA’s Apache-2.0-compatible implementation, with a self-hosted SDK example.
Claude Tag is hosted and closed. Here is how Open Managed Agents becomes the open-source, self-hosted foundation for a Claude Tag-style agent.
Claude Tag is hosted. This guide maps the same product shape onto an open-source, self-hosted Open Managed Agents deployment.
How Open Managed Agents is structured under the hood. Durable Objects with embedded SQLite as the per-session log, Cloudflare Containers as the sandbox, R2 for blobs, and the deliberate split between the brain (harness) and the body (sandbox).
Practical migration guide. What stays the same, what changes, and the exact steps to switch your client code, sessions, vaults, and integrations to the open-source platform.
End-to-end guide to deploying Open Managed Agents on Cloudflare. Workers + Durable Objects + Containers + R2. Wrangler config, secrets, custom domains, and what to do when each piece breaks.
Claude Managed Agents vs OpenMA compared 1:1: models, hosting, sessions, sandboxes, credentials, and cost shape — with clear guidance on when each wins.
Workers + Containers + D1 + R2 = an agent platform with very little ops. The substitution guide for anyone who can't be on Cloudflare.
Why we're building an open-source meta-harness for AI agents — and why BYOK matters.
