The 2.0 Developer Preview has no tagged release, runs tools and a 30-minute proactive pulse with no approval step, listens on every network interface with client authentication off, and sends telemetry by default.\n\n**Talorys.** Talorys is an MIT-licensed assistant its owner deploys to their own Cloudflare account, with no telemetry, a documented threat model and code-enforced confirmation for destructive tools. It is two days old at version 0.1.5, has no mail, calendar or payment connections, and no interface for an outside agent.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Leon\n\n1. Clone the develop branch for 2.0. `npm install --global @leon-ai/cli` and docs.getleon.ai install and describe the legacy 1.0 betas\n2. Set `client_interface.auth.enabled: true` and a `LEON_PROFILE_TOKEN` before the machine joins a shared network. The server binds 0.0.0.0\n3. Set `telemetry_enabled: false` and `runtime.pulse_enabled: false` in the profile `config.yml` for an unattended or private run\n4. Use `availability.tools.allowed` to limit tools. Shell, file writes, computer use and browser control are otherwise available to the agent with no approval prompt\n5. Back up `LEON_CONNECTIONS_ENCRYPTION_KEY` from the profile `.env`. Without it the stored connections cannot be read\n\n### Talorys\n\n1. Run `npx create-talorys@latest` with Node.js 22 or later and a Cloudflare login or an API token with Workers, Pages and Workers AI permissions.\n2. Don't script the /api routes. They need the owner's session cookie and CSRF header and aren't documented for other callers.\n3. Update with `npx create-talorys@latest update`. Only the latest version gets security fixes.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Leon or Talorys?\n\nLeon scores 41 (E) on agent readiness against Talorys's 28.9 (F), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Talorys leads on reliability and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Are Leon and Talorys open source?\n\nYes. Leon is open source (MIT). Talorys is open source (MIT (Copyright 2026 The Talorys contributors). It runs on the owner's Cloudflare account under Cloudflare's own terms.).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/leon-vs-talorys.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/leon-vs-talorys.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"leon\", \"b\": \"talorys\"}`.
