Abstract: Existing infrastructure cannot deploy agents from different decision-making paradigms within the same environment, making fair cross-paradigm comparison under identical conditions impossible. We present MOSAIC, an open-source platform that enables heterogeneous agents (RL policies, LLMs, VLMs, and human operators) to act within shared reinforcement learning environments in ad-hoc team settings with reproducible results. MOSAIC introduces three contributions. (i) IPC-based worker protocol that wraps native and third-party frameworks as isolated subprocess workers, each executing its own training and inference logic unmodified and communicating through a versioned inter-process protocol. (ii) An operator abstraction that forms an agent-level interface by mapping workers to agent slots: each operator, regardless of whether it is backed by an RL policy, an LLM, or a human, conforms to a minimal universal interface. (iii) A deterministic cross-paradigm evaluation framework with two complementary modes: a manual mode that advances up to $N$ operators in lock-step under shared seeds for fine-grained visual inspection of behavioural differences; and a script mode that drives automated, long-running evaluation via declarative Python scripts for reproducible experiments. Our documentation is released at: https://mosaic-platform.readthedocs.io.
