About
Microsoft Agent Framework is an open source SDK and runtime designed to help developers build, orchestrate, and deploy AI agents and multi-agent workflows using languages such as .NET and Python. It combines the simple agent abstractions of AutoGen with the enterprise-grade capabilities of Semantic Kernel, including session-based state management, type safety, middleware, telemetry, and broad model and embedding support, creating a unified platform for both experimentation and production use. It introduces graph-based workflows that give developers explicit control over how multiple agents interact, execute tasks, and coordinate complex processes, enabling structured orchestration across sequential, concurrent, or branching scenarios. It supports long-running and human-in-the-loop workflows through robust state management, allowing agents to maintain context, reason through multi-step problems, and operate continuously over time.

About
a13n is an open-source AI agent development framework and self-hosted platform for building, testing, and running agent applications. Developers define agents with instructions, models, tools, and execution environments using the Python Harness SDK, or configure agents through Harness UI. The Service provides a shared workspace and HTTP API for applications that need managed agents, saved conversations, and resumable runs. Agent work can execute locally or on a deployed Service, with checkpointing for eligible runs. The platform connects to model providers, external applications, web-data services, and remote MCP servers, and can be deployed using Docker Compose or Kubernetes. It is designed for software developers and platform teams creating AI-enabled workflows and applications; customers operate their own infrastructure and provider credentials.
