Agno
Lightweight agent framework with a clear path from SDK to production API.
Open source
Best for teams that want to start with a simple agent SDK and graduate to a hosted AgentOS without a major rewrite.
Selection advice
Choose Agno when you value a gradual path from local SDK to production API over maximum framework flexibility. The mental model stays consistent as you scale.
Best for
- rapid prototyping
- production API deployment
- lightweight agent orchestration
Not ideal for
- teams that need deep graph-based state management
- projects locked into a specific cloud ecosystem
