Why the models rank OpenAI Agents SDK — on best framework for building ai agents
“Minimal, production-oriented primitives (agents, handoffs, guardrails, sessions, tracing) that stay out of your way; works across providers via a Chat Completions/LiteLLM adapter despite the name; excellent built-in tracing and the smoothest path from prototype to shipped agent; the pragmatic default for most practitioners starting fresh.”
Why the models rank Pydantic AI — on best framework for building ai agents
“Near-tie with LangGraph; its model-agnostic, type-safe Python API, dependency injection, validated tools and outputs, MCP, human approval, evals, OpenTelemetry, graphs, and durable-engine integrations make it the best maintainable default for typical Python teams.”
