Announcing: Multi-agent orchestration SDK with the Microsoft Foundry Agent Framework in C# and Python
Microsoft Foundry is now introducing Agent Framework, a unified multi-agent orchestration SDK for C# and Python. This release consolidates patterns previously spread across AutoGen and Semantic Kernel, giving developers a consistent set of abstractions for building, coordinating, and deploying agents. The Microsoft Foundry Agent Framework reduces integration complexity, helps teams avoid conflicting libraries, and streamlines long-term maintenance by providing a single, well-supported model for multi-agent workloads. This release applies to scenarios that require deterministic coordination across tasks, tools, and models, while maintaining language parity for mixed-ecosystem teams. To start using the Microsoft Foundry Agent Framework, install the C# or Python packages and review the integration guidance. Learn more .
