title: "OpenResearch: The local-first harness and workspace for research agents"
abstract: >-
  OpenResearch turns coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor,
  Google Antigravity, and local models) into research agents that review
  literature, develop hypotheses, run tracked experiments on local or remote
  compute, and produce research artifacts, with every experiment recorded on
  the researcher's own machine.
