Ryu

What Ryu does

The repository contains Core, Gateway, CLI, Desktop, Island, shared runtime packages and self-hosting files. SDKs and examples live in a separate public SDK hub, app source lives in satellite repositories, and plugin source and the catalog live in a Marketplace repository. Ryu can run locally, on your own server or in Ryu Cloud, and it reaches users through desktop, web, browser, mobile, CLI, bots and channels.

The README includes comparison tables against agent frameworks and managed platforms. They cover bring-your-own models, multi-agent coordination, durable workflows, MCP tools, memory, routing, budgets, approvals and audit, sandboxed execution, schedules, and skills or plugins. Hermes Agent, OpenClaw, Mastra and LangChain with LangGraph are among the frameworks listed. The README says the tables compare documented product surfaces, not model quality, latency or security certification.
