Ahead on: - Schema & documentation, 33 against 0 - Agent ergonomics, 57 against 0 - Security & auth, 34 against 8 - Transparency & trust, 60 against 52 Also in its favour: - No key needed to call it - Free to start without a card Watch for: No tagged release of the core since 1.0.0-beta.8 on 1 May 2023. The 2.0 Developer Preview is installed by cloning the develop branch ### Talorys (F) Good for: A single person who wants a private assistant for memory, tasks, notes and reminders on their own Cloudflare account. Ahead on: - Reliability, 41 against 32 - Maintenance & community, 83 against 15 Watch for: No API key, MCP server or A2A endpoint, and the /api routes need the owner's browser session. ## Score by category | Category | Weight | Leon | Talorys | Edge | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 32 | 41 | Talorys +9 | | Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run | | Schema & documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 33 | 0 | Leon +33 | | Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 57 | 0 | Leon +57 | | Security & auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 34 | 8 | Leon +26 | | Payments & pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 60 | 60 | even | | Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run | | Maintenance & community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 15 | 83 | Talorys +68 | | Transparency & trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 60 | 52 | Leon +8 | | Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | | | **Total** | | **41 · E** | **28.9 · F** | | ## Facts side by side | Fact | Leon | Talorys | | --- | --- | --- | | Kind | Agent harness | Platform | | Vendor | Louis Grenard (Leon AI) | Roc Yu (rociiu) and contributors | | Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) | | Transports | | | | Auth | None | OAuth or key | | Pricing | Free | Free | | x402 | no | no | | Licence | MIT | MIT (Copyright 2026 The Talorys contributors).

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. **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. ## Before you call either ### Leon 1. 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 2. 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 3. Set `telemetry_enabled: false` and `runtime.pulse_enabled: false` in the profile `config.yml` for an unattended or private run 4. 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 5. Back up `LEON_CONNECTIONS_ENCRYPTION_KEY` from the profile `.env`. Without it the stored connections cannot be read ### Talorys 1. 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. 2. Don't script the /api routes. They need the owner's session cookie and CSRF header and aren't documented for other callers. 3. Update with `npx create-talorys@latest update`. Only the latest version gets security fixes. ## Questions ### Which is better for AI agents, Leon or Talorys?

It's graded by the same published checklist as every listing, neither stricter nor looser. Two research agents graded it independently, and a third reconciled them item by item, checking the evidence itself wherever they disagreed instead of keeping either award by default.
