# OpenBB vs agents

OpenBB and agents share 3 technologies: Rich, defusedxml, and Pydantic. OpenBB is written in Python and agents in C#.

- [openbq-org/OpenBB](https://seerepo.com/r/openbq-org/OpenBB): Open Data Platform for analysts, quants and AI agents.
- [wshobson/agents](https://seerepo.com/r/wshobson/agents): Plugins, agents, skills, and commands for Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, OpenCode, Antigravity CLI, GitHub Copilot, and Pi, written once in Markdown and adapted to each tool by generators with validation and evals.

## What they share and what sets them apart

- In common: Rich, defusedxml, Pydantic
- Only in OpenBB: FastAPI, aiosqlite, diskcache, SQLite, pyarrow, AIOHTTP, fastmcp, uvicorn, glib, React, Vite, Tauri, Tokio, objc2-app-kit, objc2-foundation, Plotly, prompt-toolkit, pyjwt, markdownify, python-calamine, beautifulsoup4, openpyxl, xlrd, pdfplumber, lxml, feedparser, Tailwind CSS, tauri-plugin-dialog, log, tauri-plugin-log
- Only in agents: None

## Side by side

| | OpenBB | agents |
|---|---|---|
| Size | 928,724 lines written, 2,028 code files | 21,199 lines written, 2 code files |
| Who writes it | 0.1% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot | 9% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Jules, and Cursor |
| Activity | Last push November 2, 2026, 6,064 commits, 75,095 stars | Last push November 5, 2026, 553 commits, 42,246 stars |
| Tests | 1,090 test files. 3.6% of its code files have a test that imports them | 31 test files |

- Size: Lines written by people and agents, without generated ones; code files, without tests.
- Who writes it: A commit counts as AI's when it carries its signature: a Co-Authored-By line, its author name or the merge of its branch.
- Activity: From GitHub and its history, on the day SeeRepo read it.
- Tests: The files that test the code, and the share of code files a test imports.
