I built a map to track AI agent infrastructure—how open it is and how that changes as the stack takes shape. Five layers, compute to payments, 33 companies scored against a rubric (“Can you use this without one company's permission?”).

Scores live in a database so we can see how things move over time. The whole thing is open source.

I'm probably wrong about some of it, and 33 is just a start. Suggest a company or challenge a score:
