Blackbox AI
API service
An HTTP API that dispatches coding tasks to agents in isolated cloud sandboxes, streams every terminal event, can send one task to Blackbox, Claude Code, Codex and Gemini at once with a judging model picking the best result, and turns a successful run into a pull request.
A gateway that puts 300+ open and closed models behind one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, routes each request to the best-performing provider with latency load-balancing and failover, and enforces zero data retention and no training on routed traffic.
AI agent
Blackbox's open-source terminal coding agent with plan mode, a multi-agent mode that runs agents in parallel, headless mode for CI/CD, and support for AGENTS.md, MCP servers, hooks and skills, metered per token against a Blackbox balance.
Infrastructure service
Model-inference gateway (Blackbox Router: 300+ open and closed models through one endpoint, zero data retention), Enterprise Inference (dedicated single-tenant GPU capacity) and an Agents API/CLI that sends coding agents to any repository over HTTP.
Single-tenant hosting of an open-weight model the customer picks, or its own fine-tuned weights, on capacity reserved for that customer behind an OpenAI-compatible API, with in-memory processing, SSO, SCIM, role-based access and audit logs streamed to the customer's SIEM.
Mastra
API service
An OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible model gateway that routes one API key to 300+ models with provider failover, and adds observational memory that compresses each conversation into notes so agents keep context without rebuilding it.
AI agent
An open-source terminal coding agent with Build, Plan and Fast modes and explore, plan and execute subagents, whose observational memory compresses the session into notes instead of compacting it, so long sessions keep their context.
An open-source software delivery environment where coding agents take a connected repository's issues through investigation, planning, implementation and review to a reviewed pull request, with people deciding at each step; self-hosted or deployed on Mastra's platform.
Infrastructure service
Hosted telemetry store for Mastra agents in production: it keeps the metrics, structured logs and step-by-step traces of model calls, tool calls and workflow steps for every run, with dashboards for cost, latency and quality scores.
Hosted deployment target that runs a Mastra application's agents, tools and workflows as an API server from one command, with routing and scaling handled by Mastra and billing by CPU time and data egress.
No counterpart
Mastra sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Blackbox AI yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Agent platform
A UI mounted inside a team's own Mastra server for creating and operating internal agents, with multi-tenant workflows, role-based access and channel integrations, licensed for production under Mastra's enterprise licence.
Developer tool
An open-source TypeScript framework that developers use to build, run and observe AI agents and workflows, with a hosted Studio and cloud deployment option.
A shared workspace where a team inspects agent runs through traces and cost, latency and quality metrics, scores outputs with LLM-as-judge or code, runs dataset experiments and versions prompts and agent configurations, open to non-engineering reviewers without source access.
