Comparisons.
Straight answers to the build-vs-buy and architecture decisions teams face before committing engineering time.
LangGraph vs CrewAI vs AutoGen vs OpenAI Agents SDK
Which agent framework fits production, prototyping, or a single-provider chat app — and why AutoGen is now maintenance-mode legacy.

Self-Hosted vs Managed Agent Platform
What self-hosting an agent framework actually costs in engineering time, and what a managed platform buys you instead.
MCP vs A2A
Two protocols that solve different problems — agent-to-tool vs agent-to-agent — and why most teams asking "which one" need both.
Compaction vs. Tool-Result Clearing vs. Persistent Memory
Three context-management primitives, three different bottlenecks — which one your agent actually needs depends on whether dialogue, tool results, or cross-session knowledge is filling the window.
Claude Agent SDK vs Codex vs Cursor vs Aider
Four different agent harnesses solving four different problems — building on Anthropic's own runtime, one shared core across every OpenAI surface, per-model IDE tuning, or a lightweight git-native terminal loop.
