Cogitator is an open-source, self-hosted runtime designed to orchestrate AI agents and LLM swarms, built with TypeScript to offer type safety and seamless web integration. It provides a universal LLM interface that supports multiple AI platforms like Ollama, vLLM, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google through a single API. The system is equipped with a DAG-based workflow engine, multi-agent swarm strategies, and sandboxed execution using Docker/WASM for secure operations. With a focus on production readiness, it utilizes Redis and Postgres for memory management and offers full observability features like OpenTelemetry and cost tracking. This matters because it aims to provide a more stable and efficient alternative to existing AI infrastructures with significantly fewer dependencies.
