OpenAI Took Dots, Not Aeon: Inside an Underrated Open-Source Agent Framework That Runs on GitHub Actions
Fluid-Bar4795 · reddit · 2026-09-30
The author is relieved OpenAI's new "Dots" product didn't collide with Aeon, the open-source agent framework he argues is badly undervalued: agents are just repos running on GitHub Actions with no hosted runtime, skills are 85 built-in markdown files the agent can self-write and self-heal, the same skill runs across Claude, Codex, Grok, Kimi and Cursor behind one contract, and it has responsibly disclosed real CVE-grade vulnerabilities across 100+ open-source repos. Community skill packs install with one command and pass security scans. "Dots is a cloud browser you rent; Aeon is an agent you own, with git history as the audit log."
