Open source maintainers are increasingly banning AI-generated contributions to protect volunteer capacity from low-quality 'slop' and preserve project agency, arguing that the volume of automated PRs overwhelms review bandwidth. Conversely, critics contend these bans are counterproductive gatekeeping that drives away potential contributors and ignores the utility of AI-assisted development in well-maintained communities.
112 readable replies · Supporting reply 1 · Supporting reply 2 · Supporting reply 3 · Supporting reply 4Developers are divided between migrating to third-party harnesses like Pi for their customizability and control, versus staying with native tools like Claude Code due to concerns about stability, security, and vendor restrictions. The strongest disagreement centers on whether the flexibility of open-source harnesses outweighs the operational risks of manual configuration and potential Terms of Service violations.

Paseo is Apache 2.0 (vs T3 MIT). Haven't tried T3 and can't find docs for it to get more insight without installing.
Re: changes: Paseo's plugin system is very, very good. Some limitations since not all of the internals are accessible via plugin system, but allows building very custom UIs. So this may be a point of delta with T3. But I have some coworkers that have gone absolutely HAM with the plugins and built entirely custom workspaces (wild).
For me, what I have found most useful about Paseo is the multi-platform, multi-agent setup because this has given my agent teams much, much more autonomy that I feel like I can trust (after weeks of watching them work). The agent profile system looks too simple at first blush, but actually, that simplicity and semi-structured dynamic nature of the sub-agents is what makes it powerful.

ry T3 for a week and see; thanks for sharing!
EDIT: T3 has no docs site yet, but sifting through docs, this was interesting: https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/blob/main/docs/user/remo...
> Each T3 Connect account can link up to 3 machines. Phones and browsers do not count. A paid T3 Chat plan raises the limit to 10 machines with Pro, or 100 with Premier.
Paseo has no paid features; only if you want to use the hosted hub gateway (entry point for Slack, Discord, GH). T3 Connect looks to be the equivalent of the Paseo Relay: https://paseo.sh/docs/connectivity#paseo-relay which has no limits (Herdr's ipml is better, though; Paseo currently cannot manage individual connections which would make it SICK for team collab. See: https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/discussions/6896)
I think the problem with his ask in that initial picture is mentioning Pi, which doesn't do headless CLI, but does do the OAuth that the TOS specifically mentions.
It doesn't seem like T3 Code ever implemented antigravity at the time of the post. Now they've added it via ACP: https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/pull/9348
In Google Antigravity TOS: 3rd party usage can get Google account suspendedHow does this compare to https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code or https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo?
Is there a good resource indexing all the coding agent tools / harnesses? Every awesome list I've found so far seems very incomplete, but I'm sure its impossible to keep up.
My daily drivers are still:
- exe.dev + Shelley + terminal multiplexer (https://zmx.sh/ or tmux) + `codex` CLI
- Conductor.build
I would love an open source solution with nice desktop / web / mobile / remote options and notifications, but seems like it could be a while before things settle down and the "winners" emerge?
In Show HN: Proliferate- open-source, self-hostable Codex for any coding agentI'll add a few more to your list that I've been trying (not associated with either):
- Paseo (https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo)
- t3code (https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code)
