Description

Microsoft Agent Framework reaches general availability for multi-agent orchestration patterns, including the dynamic Magentic pattern that delivered 38 percent on GAIA and competitive results on AssistantBench and WebArena in published benchmarks. The GA release covers sequential pipelines, parallel collaboration, and Magentic-style coordination, all expressed in the same framework API so teams can swap patterns without rewriting agent code. Customers running complex research, document processing, and operations workflows can now build specialist agents and let the framework handle planning, hand-off, and recovery. The release ships in .NET and Python through the framework on GitHub, with backward compatibility for the preview API and SLA-backed support for production deployments.
