[Ep 026] Top 3 Agentic AI Frameworks (and How to Choose Without Analysis Paralysis)

Описание: Agentic AI is moving fast—so instead of chasing every new tool, this episode gives you a practical guide to the top agentic AI frameworks and how to choose the right one for your business use case. We compare LangChain vs PydanticAI vs Anthropic Agent SDK with clear “use this when…” guidance.

Key takeaways
LangChain: best when you need a big ecosystem, lots of tools, agent-to-agent patterns, and strong community modules (especially for RAG-style apps)


PydanticAI: great for Python teams who want structured inputs/outputs (think emails, tickets, meeting notes → clean JSON), and model flexibility


Anthropic Agent SDK: ideal for autonomous agents and native MCP support—especially for longer-running, more complex delegated workflows


Why models are easier to swap than frameworks, and how to avoid over-committing early


Evaluation criteria you can reuse for any framework: MCP/tooling, skills support, RAG readiness, lock-in, and community depth
