Comparisons
The self-hosted comparison.
Two paths, one decision. SaaS agents that your compliance team blocks. Building your own that takes a year. Or a deployable runtime with policy and audit baked in.
Self-hosted infrastructure vs cloud-hosted tools
Lumium vs SaaS coding agents
SaaS agents are great for individual developers who can use them. Lumium is the runtime for teams who need infrastructure they control — on their own hardware, under their own policies, with an audit trail they own.
Production-grade runtime vs a year of engineering
Lumium vs building your own
A production-grade agent loop with audit, policy, retry, and tool authorization takes 6–12 months to build. Lumium gives you the runtime today, with the audit trail and policy engine already baked in.
