Jun 7, 2026

An open-source Python framework for building production-grade agents with validated, structured outputs instead of raw-string parsing. Model-agnostic across OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini and many more, with composable tools, durable execution, MCP support, and built-in observability via Pydantic Logfire. MIT-licensed from the team behind Pydantic.

Capabilities 6

What it actually does — grouped by capability family.

  • Agent framework (primary capability)
  • Tool / function calling (primary capability)
  • Multi-model access (secondary capability)
  • LLM evaluation (secondary capability)
  • LLM observability (secondary capability)
  • Structured extraction (secondary capability)

Pros & cons

  • Type-safe, validated structured outputs
  • From the trusted Pydantic team
  • Model-agnostic, MIT-licensed
  • MCP support, Logfire observability
  • Python-only
  • Younger than LangChain/LlamaIndex
  • Smaller ecosystem of integrations

    LangGraph

    LangChain

    Graph-based agent orchestration. Stateful loops with checkpoints.

    LangChain's agent layer. Model agents as nodes in a state graph with persistent checkpoints, human-in-the-loop steps, and durable execution. Strong when you need a long-running, debuggable agent rather than a one-shot chain.

    CrewAI

    crewAIInc

    Multi-agent framework with explicit roles and tasks.

    Python framework for orchestrating crews of specialised agents — researcher, writer, reviewer — coordinated through shared context. Opinionated about roles, sequencing, and delegation; good fit for content-and-research pipelines.

    LlamaIndex

    LlamaIndex

    The data framework for LLM apps — RAG, agents, and document workflows.

    An open-source framework (Python + TypeScript) for connecting LLMs to your data — ingestion, indexing, retrieval, and agentic document workflows. Pairs with the managed LlamaCloud (LlamaParse) for production parsing and extraction. The most-used RAG framework after LangChain.

    Mastra

    Mastra

    TypeScript framework for building AI agents and workflows.

    An open-source TypeScript stack for AI applications: agents, a graph-based workflow engine (.then/.branch/.parallel), memory, tools, and built-in observability behind one API. Run it self-hosted under Apache 2.0, or deploy to Mastra Cloud with a free Starter tier and paid Teams/Enterprise plans.
