TrueFoundry's open source AI agent harness TrueForge boasts 30%-75% cheaper task completion than Claude Managed Agents

TrueFoundry released the open-source TrueForge harness under the MIT License, enabling developers to run AI agents with any model, self-host them, and integrate them into commercial products. In tests using GLM-5.2, TrueForge completed 11 of 14 Enterprise-Bench tasks at 75% lower cost than Anthropic’s Claude Managed Agents ($2.90 vs $11.80), and with the same Opus 4.8 model it saved roughly 30% ($8.50 vs $11.80) by optimizing context handling and tool usage.
