xLAM vs conduit

xLAM: xLAM is a research repository for Large Action Models (LAMs), which aggregates and unifies agent trajectories from diverse environments into a consistent format. It streamlines the creation of a generic data loader optimized for agent training, enabling robust model development across various scenarios.; conduit: Conduit acts as a local Model Context Protocol (MCP) gateway, designed to drastically reduce token overhead when AI agents utilize multiple tools by consolidating server tools into a few meta-tools. It simplifies the setup and authentication of various services, allowing them to be configured once and used across all connected AI clients.
