TrueFoundry Releases Open-Source TrueForge Agent Harness to Cut Enterprise AI Costs

TrueFoundry releases TrueForge, an open-source AI agent harness targeting enterprise costs. Paired with GLM-5.2, TrueForge completed DevRev benchmark tasks at $2.90 compared to $11.80 for Anthropic's Claude Managed Agents with Opus 4.8. Running Opus 4.8 on both systems cut task costs by roughly 30% down to $8.50. TrueFoundry released the software under the MIT License on GitHub for enterprise developers to build on. "People will use this alongside other harnesses, like the cloud-managed ones or the commercial-provider-managed ones, but this will serve as a way for people to use them in a vendor-neutral way and also at a lower cost." — Anuraag Gutgutia Context compaction and selective sandboxing save token burn, but security teams won't approve local runs until paid control planes are attached.
