github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harnessDeepSeek Harness: Everything is a Plugin.

NousResearch/hermes-agent
github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agentThe agent that grows with you
Hermes Agent is Nous’s open agent runtime: memory, tools, and a growth loop live in a Python/TypeScript repo. It aims at a coworker that keeps skills, not a one-shot script. Use it to self-host and keep changing the agent itself.

anomalyco/opencode
github.com/anomalyco/opencodeThe open source coding agent.
OpenCode is an open-source terminal coding agent. The TypeScript client is meant to be self-hosted and model-agnostic. The repo is the product runtime, not a prompt pack. Use it when you do not want the workflow locked inside a closed IDE agent.
Method and sources
On 2026-09-05, GitHub Search results for stars:>80000, pushed:>2026-07-07, and topics such as llm, ai-agents, openai, deepseek, and codex were merged and deduplicated. deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness and openai/codex were added by name. There is no creation-date cap. Only AI software pushed in 60 days, above 80,000 stars, and containing a real source tree was kept. Forks, archives, awesome lists, courses, prompt dumps, and model-weight repositories were excluded. At most 2 items share an owner and 8 share a category. velocity = stars / max(age_days, 21) to 3 decimals; every star_delta is null on this first stars-lane snapshot.
Included repositories have more than 80,000 stars, were pushed in the last 60 days, have no creation-date cap, and are ranked by rising velocity.
Awesome lists, reading lists, courses, forks, archived repositories, pure documentation, model-weight dumps, and projects without runnable software are excluded.
An administrator-authorized agent collects and submits the full dataset. Every publication is one indivisible 30-item snapshot.
