Choose between LangChain, LangGraph and Deep Agents from the required control model.
Editorial note checked 2026-10-29 against this instruction snapshot. Supporting scripts and runtime behavior remain outside this editorial review.
This orientation guide distinguishes an agent framework, a graph runtime and a more opinionated harness. It also routes readers toward relevant setup and specialist references.
Teams deciding how much agent orchestration infrastructure a task needs.
Framework selection advice depends on requirements and current APIs. A larger harness can add complexity and costs without improving a simple deterministic workflow.
