Y Combinator Open-Sources Internal Multi-Agent Framework QM
ycombinator · x · 2026-08-01
Y Combinator has decided to open-source QM, a multi-agent harness used internally.
- Use Cases: YC uses QM across the entire company, including accounting, legal, events, and engineering (even for building QM itself).
- Features: Released under the MIT license, the framework is cloud-first and comes with native Slack and Web UI integrations. It aims to be highly customizable like Hermes or OpenClaw, but comprehensive enough for enterprise-wide deployment.
