The honest brief
Agno
Built for speed and scale — agents instantiate near-instantly with low memory, and ship to production via the bundled AgentOS FastAPI runtime.
- Fast agent instantiation, low memory use
- Multi-modal agents and agent teams
- Bundled AgentOS production runtime
- Model- and provider-agnostic
- Younger than LangChain and LlamaIndex
- Rapid changes since the Phidata rename
- Smaller community and ecosystem
LangGraph
Durable checkpointed state-graph with human-in-the-loop — long agent runs pause and resume, unlike one-shot chains.
- Durable checkpointed state
- Low-level graph control
- Debuggable long-running agents
- Runs in production at major firms
- Steeper learning curve
- More boilerplate than chains
- Tied to LangChain conventions
