Is CAMEL Still Maintained? Live GitHub Status
On GitHub, the project describes itself as: “🐫 CAMEL: The first and the best multi-agent framework. Finding the Scaling Law of Agents. https://www.camel-ai.org”
Short answer: Yes, but development has slowed. Health score 55/100. Checked 18 Oct 2026.
What the numbers say
CAMEL’s master branch received 48 commits in the last 91 days, against 289 in the same 91 days a year earlier (−83%). That is less than half of last year’s pace, which the index labels “slowing down”. It has 17,929 stars on GitHub.
CAMEL usage: downloads and installs
camel-aiTrend: the monthly download count is stored once a day, starting 17 Oct 2026. A chart appears here after a week of readings.
Download and pull counts include automated installs from CI pipelines, containers and mirrors, so they show how widely the software is pulled, not how many people use it. Numbers from different registries are not comparable with each other. Sources: PyPI download statistics via ecosyste.ms, read 18 Oct 2026, 16:52 UTC.

Scorecard checks security practices such as code review, branch protection and pinned dependencies; it does not find bugs, and a low score does not mean the software is unsafe. Dependents and download counts show reach, not quality. Sources: OpenSSF Scorecard, deps.dev, GitHub, read 18 Oct 2026, 17:40 UTC.

CAMEL: common questions
Is CAMEL still maintained?
Yes, but development has slowed. As of 18 October 2026, CAMEL received 48 commits in the last 91 days, less than half of its pace a year earlier; the latest commit is from 12 October 2026. Its health score is 55 out of 100.

How many people contribute to CAMEL?
GitHub lists 233 contributors for CAMEL. 25 pull requests were merged in the last 91 days.
What licence does CAMEL use?
GitHub identifies the CAMEL licence as Apache-2.0. Read the licence file before commercial use.
How many times is CAMEL downloaded?
The camel-ai package on PyPI was downloaded 42,975 times in the last month, according to ecosyste.ms (checked 18 October 2026). The count includes automated installs from CI pipelines and mirrors, so it is not a count of users.
Is CAMEL secure?
We cannot say whether the code is free of vulnerabilities. What can be measured is how the project is run: the OpenSSF Scorecard gives CAMEL 6.8 out of 10 for security practices (run 15 October 2026), covering checks such as code review, branch protection and pinned dependencies. Read the full report and the project’s security policy before relying on it.
How is the health score calculated?
It adds five parts from public GitHub data: commit activity over 91 days (35 points), the trend against the same period last year (20), how recent the last commit is (15), how recent the last release is (10) and merged pull requests (20). Archived projects score 0; a maintenance notice caps the score at 25. It measures maintenance signals only, not code quality or security.

How this is measured: commits on the repository’s default branch counted through the GitHub API, the last 91 days against the same 91 days a year earlier; archived flag and licence from the repository; README checked daily for maintenance notices. Commit counts measure activity, not quality, and we have not tested this tool ourselves for this page.
