Python framework for orchestrating autonomous AI agents that collaborate to accomplish complex tasks. Define agents with specific roles, goals, and backstories, then organize them into crews with sequential or parallel task execution. Supports tool usage (web search, file I/O, API calls), memory, delegation between agents, and human-in-the-loop input. Works with OpenAI, Anthropic, local models, and more. 25K+ GitHub stars. Leading multi-agent framework alongside LangGraph and AutoGen.

Agent framework built on Pydantic for type-safe AI applications. Provides structured outputs, dependency injection, and multi-model support. Created by the Pydantic team, it brings the same validation and typing philosophy that made Pydantic essential for Python APIs to the world of AI agents, ensuring reliable data flow between LLMs and application logic.
The most widely-used framework for building LLM-powered applications, available in Python and JavaScript. Provides abstractions for chains, agents, RAG, memory, tool usage, and structured output. Integrates with 100+ LLM providers, vector stores, document loaders, and tools. LangSmith offers tracing and evaluation. LangGraph enables stateful, multi-agent workflows with cycles. 100K+ GitHub stars. The de facto standard for LLM application development despite growing alternatives like LlamaIndex.
