"The Microsoft Agent Framework is an open-source development framework designed to build, orchestrate, and deploy AI agents with a consistent programming model across .NET and Python. It succeeds earlier efforts such as Semantic Kernel and AutoGen, consolidating agent creation, orchestration primitives, and multi-provider support under a single SDK."
"Before this release candidate, developers experimenting with Microsoft's agent technologies had to piece together capabilities using Semantic Kernel or experimental multi-agent orchestrators. Those tools provided early building blocks for agent creation and function invocation, but lacked a stable, unified API suitable for enterprise-grade systems."
"With this RC release, the framework's APIs and workflows are locked down, allowing teams to start production evaluation and implementation with greater confidence. The framework emphasizes simplicity and flexibility. Developers can create a basic AI agent in just a handful of lines in either Python or .NET."
Microsoft Agent Framework has achieved Release Candidate status for both .NET and Python, signaling API stability and feature completeness for version 1.0. This open-source framework consolidates agent creation, orchestration, and multi-provider support into a single SDK, succeeding earlier tools like Semantic Kernel and AutoGen. Previously, developers had to combine multiple tools to build enterprise-grade agent systems. The RC release locks down APIs and workflows, enabling production evaluation with confidence. The framework prioritizes simplicity and flexibility, allowing developers to create basic AI agents with minimal code while supporting complex multi-agent workflows and integration with various AI model providers.
