About HarnessRouter Community Edition
HarnessRouter Community Edition is an open-source, unified interface for agent harnesses designed for developers and AI infrastructure builders. Released under the Apache 2.0 license, it allows you to easily plug and play managed agent harnesses—such as Codex, Claude Code, and Hermes—into your products through a single API on your own infrastructure.
With HarnessRouter, you can seamlessly switch between different agent harnesses without having to rebuild your backend. The tool handles complex state operations out of the box, including sessions, streaming, files, artifacts, cancellation, and failure recovery. Furthermore, your model provider keys, state, and deliveries remain completely under your control, packed conveniently into a single Docker container containing the Gateway, Runner, and Console.
Pros of HarnessRouter Community Edition
- Unified single API for multiple agent harnesses including Codex, Claude Code, and Hermes
- Switch between harnesses without the need to rebuild your backend
- Handles sessions, streaming, files, artifacts, cancellation, and failure recovery automatically
- Full control over model provider keys, state, and deliveries on your own infrastructure
- All-in-one deployment via a single Docker container containing the Gateway, Runner, and Console
Cons of HarnessRouter Community Edition
- Requires self-hosting and infrastructure management via Docker
- Limited to the specific agent harnesses supported (Codex, Claude Code, and Hermes)
- Setup and configuration require developer expertise

About SayGM
SayGM is a developer-focused, cost-effective, and highly private alternative to platforms like OpenRouter. Designed to bridge the gap between unified model access and strict data privacy, SayGM offers a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint that allows you to seamlessly access major frontier models—including Claude, GPT, and Gemini—without requiring code rewrites.
While many AI providers rely on basic text guarantees on their privacy pages, SayGM proves its privacy claims cryptographically. The gateway operates inside an Intel TDX enclave, enabling the silicon chip itself to sign a measurement verifying the exact software running. For open models, execution happens entirely within the secure enclave to ensure no one intercepts your prompts. For closed models, data remains strictly sealed for the maker alone, giving developers unmatched transparency and security in their AI infrastructure.
Pros of SayGM
- One unified, OpenAI-compatible endpoint for Claude, GPT, and Gemini with no code rewrites needed
- Provable privacy running inside an Intel TDX enclave with hardware-signed measurements
- Acts as a cheaper, secure alternative to OpenRouter
- Open models run securely inside the enclave to prevent prompt visibility by third parties
Cons of SayGM
- Specific pricing tiers and cost breakdowns are not explicitly detailed in the provided metadata
- Limited to the model families explicitly supported by the gateway API
Frequently Asked Questions
What is SayGM?
SayGM is a private and cost-effective alternative to OpenRouter that provides a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint to access models like Claude, GPT, and Gemini.
How does SayGM ensure data privacy?
SayGM's gateway runs inside an Intel TDX enclave. The physical chip itself signs a measurement of the exact software running, ensuring open models execute securely without third parties seeing your prompts, while closed models stay sealed for the maker alone.
Do I need to rewrite my code to use SayGM?
No. SayGM provides an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, allowing you to access Claude, GPT, and Gemini without performing code rewrites.
