Microsoft Agent Framework
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.

Deep Agents
Deep Agents is an open-source developer library and agent harness for building LLM-powered agents that can work through multi-step tasks. It provides an agent loop with built-in capabilities for planning, persistent memory, file-system interaction, and delegation to subagents, while allowing developers to connect model providers and tools. The library is intended for software developers and teams creating custom agent applications, including research, coding, and other workflows that require an agent to plan and act across several steps. Developers can extend its behavior with custom tools, middleware, and backends, and integrate it with LangGraph and LangSmith for orchestration, tracing, and deployment workflows. Deep Agents is a software development framework rather than a ready-made end-user agent application; users implement and run agents within their own applications and environments.

Strands Agents
Strands Agents is an open-source framework designed to help developers build controllable and flexible AI agents using Python and TypeScript. It enables users to create agents by defining tools as simple functions, eliminating the need for complex workflows or orchestration pipelines. The SDK works with any model and cloud provider, giving developers full freedom in how they deploy and scale their agents. It introduces a streamlined agent loop where the model handles reasoning while developers maintain control through code. Features like steering hooks allow developers to validate and guide agent behavior before and after actions are taken. The platform also includes built-in capabilities such as memory management, observability, and evaluation tools. Overall, Strands Agents SDK simplifies agent development while improving reliability, control, and performance.

eve
eve is an open source framework for building AI agents that you own, designed around a file-system-based structure and production-ready runtime. An instructions.md file is enough to define an agent, while optional building blocks such as model configuration, skills, tools, sandboxes, channels, connections, subagents, schedules, and evals can be added as the agent grows. Tools are created by dropping TypeScript files into the tools directory, and skills are written as Markdown playbooks that load only when relevant. Agents can connect to services such as GitHub, Stripe, and Linear through authenticated connections and can surface through Slack, Discord, Teams, web chat, APIs, cron jobs, CLIs, and custom applications from the same codebase. Specialized subagents can handle delegated work with their own prompts, tools, and sandboxes.
