BeeAI Framework

Toolkit for production multi-agent systems with feature parity across Python and TypeScript, which sets it apart from the Python-first frameworks around it. It covers caching, memory and OpenTelemetry observability, constraint-based agent governance, native MCP and A2A interoperability, and more than ten model backends.

Originated at IBM and now hosted by the Linux Foundation under LF AI & Data. Verified 2026-08-13 via the i-am-bee/beeai-framework repository and the LF AI & Data project page.
