Questions, answered

Who is behind Hypha?

The project lives at CodeSoul-co/Hypha and has attracted 126 forks. Browse its commit history and contributor list for a sense of maintenance pace.

Is Hypha free to use?

Yes - it is Apache-2.0 licensed, so it is free for commercial use with attribution.

Do I need a paid API to use it?

The framework itself is free - but you will need a model to drive it, which usually means your own API key or a local model.

Hypha vs Strands harness SDK?

Both are harness-centric, but Hypha is a fuller framework with memory, caching, and evals built in, while Strands' SDK is a lighter harness structure. Pick Hypha for batteries-included, Strands for flexibility.

Where should I start?

The README and the official docs site are the fastest path: run the quickstart example first, then adapt it to your use case.
