Runtime & Architecture Comparisons
Objective, side-by-side comparisons of AI agent architectures. Local-first vs cloud runtimes, multi-agent swarms vs single prompts, and git worktrees vs in-place edits — comparisons coming soon.

ANALYSIS 01Coming Soon
Local-First Runtimes vs. Cloud Agent Platforms
An objective engineering comparison of local-first agent runtimes versus centralized cloud SaaS platforms across latency, privacy, tooling, and cost.
Key Tradeoffs Evaluated:
- Filesystem Latency: Direct NVMe access vs. network-mounted tarballs
- Security & Privacy: Zero repository egress vs. third-party cloud hosting
- Tool Execution: Native local compilers/debuggers vs. synthetic container runtimes
- Cost Structure: Direct model token pricing vs. marked-up cloud compute tiers
