Lumbridge vs Warp
An agentic development environment born out of the terminal, with an open-source client, cloud agents and Warp Factories for running software factories. Lumbridge is the open engine a company runs on when agents do the work: terminals, mail, notes, library, voice and a software factory on your own machines.

02 · Honestly
Where Warp is ahead.
- A mature, released terminal for macOS, Windows and Linux, with a company and paid support behind it.
- Code review inside the terminal: review changes, leave comments and send them back to an agent.
- Warp Factories is offered now, with factories as code, evals and runs on their cloud or self-hosted. Our Factory supports one code host and has no installer.
- Team features such as single sign-on, usage metrics and admin controls. Lumbridge has no accounts or teams yet.
03 · The difference
What Lumbridge adds.
- Every part is self-hosted. Warp’s paid plans and cloud agents run through its service.
- Core keeps programs running after the viewer closes and brings terminals from several machines into one list.
- Mail, Notes and Library are parts of the stack.
- Computer serves open models on your own GPU box; Voice and Speak add speech to text and text to speech there.
