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.

LangGraph

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