Comment on: Public clarification requested on substantial overlap with EvoMap and Evolver / 关于与 EvoMap和Evolver存在实质性重合的公开说明请求

Hi, thank you for raising this issue. We take questions about originality and attribution seriously, and we are happy to provide a direct, public response. **In short: OpenSpace and evolver are fundamentally different projects.** They diverge at the architectural level — evolver is a prompt generator that delegates execution to an external Hand, while OpenSpace is an in-process worker that directly modifies and validates code. This root divergence leads to completely different evolution triggers, processes, and products. Below we provide a detailed explanation. ## 1. OpenSpace's Design Lineage: From Tool-Level to Skill-Level Self-Evolution OpenSpace did not start from the concept of "self-evolving agents" in the abstract. It grew out of a concrete, traceable engineering path. In mid-December last year, we released **[AnyTool](https://github.com/HKUDS/AnyTool)**, a grounding agent that serves as a **worker** to complete tasks. AnyTool monitors low-level tool (MCP, GUI, Web, Shell) e...
