LangGraph

Build stateful multi-actor applications as directed graphs. Part of the LangChain ecosystem. Strong for complex agentic workflows.

Microsoft Agent Framework

Microsoft Agent Framework 1.0 (April 2026) is the official merger of AutoGen and Semantic Kernel into a single production-ready SDK for .NET and Python. Microsoft publishes a migration path from both predecessors; this is the recommended Microsoft path for new agentic applications.
