Agno (formerly Phidata)

watch

38.8K stars but only 1.45M PyPI/month — DL/star ratio of 37 is the 3rd most inflated in the category. $5.4M funding (PitchBook). Full-stack offering: agents + teams + workflows + AgentOS control plane. Performance claims (10,000x faster instantiation, 50x less memory) are single-source and unverified. All HN submissions appear to be from the same user (likely founder).

Where to be skeptical

DL/star ratio of 37 — 3rd most inflated in category

All HN submissions appear from same user (likely founder) — self-promotional pattern

No independently confirmed enterprise customers

Editorial verdict

Include with caveats. High star count but inflated DL/star ratio and self-promotional HN pattern. No independently confirmed enterprise customers. Full-stack offering is ambitious but evidence is thin. Re-evaluate upward if independent enterprise evidence surfaces.

Anthropic's official agentic coding CLI. v2.1.81 (Mar 20) shipped `--bare`, smarter worktree resume, and improved MCP OAuth while the repo crossed 82,204 stars and logged ~14 commits/week across 10+ maintainers. Terminal-native, tool-use-driven, with deep file system + shell access, #1 SWE-bench Pro standardized (45.89%), ~4% of GitHub public commits (SemiAnalysis), $2.5B annualized revenue. 8M+ npm weekly downloads. Opus 4.6 with 1M context.

#1 Python agent framework by production evidence — 40.2M PyPI downloads/month, Fortune 500 deployments (LinkedIn, Uber, Replit, Elastic, Klarna, Cloudflare, Coinbase), ~400 LangGraph Platform companies, LangSmith rated best-in-class observability. Stable v1.x API, model-agnostic, MCP support.

Pydantic AI

#3 Python agent framework by downloads — 15.6M PyPI/month. Built by the Pydantic team. Runtime type enforcement is a genuine differentiator no other framework offers. V1 shipped with Temporal integration for durable execution and Logfire observability. Emerging pattern: 'Pydantic AI for agent logic, LangGraph for orchestration' (ZenML).

⚠️ MAINTENANCE MODE — Microsoft officially confirmed bug fixes and security patches only, no new features (VentureBeat 2026-02-19). 55.9K stars but only 1.57M PyPI/month — DL/star ratio of 28, the most inflated among active frameworks. Being replaced by Microsoft Agent Framework (AutoGen + Semantic Kernel merge, GA targeted ~Q2 2026). Teams on AutoGen should plan migration.

$5.4M funding — PitchBook verified

Modest funding relative to category peers. Enough runway to iterate but not enterprise-scale backing.

Introduction

Agno is a framework and runtime for agent platforms. Build agents, run them as a service, manage your platform using a web UI.

  • Build your agent platform using the Agno SDK.
  • Run your agent platform using the AgentOS runtime.
  • Manage everything using the AgentOS UI.

Agno allows you to own your agent stack. Maintain control of your data, memory, and security posture (JWT-based RBAC), and turn your agent platform into a learning loop with simulations and usage data.

Get started

Hand this prompt to your coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex):

Help me set up my agent platform.

Clone https://github.com/agno-agi/agentos-railway into a folder called
agent-platform, cd in, read the README, and follow the get started guide.

Your coding agent will set up your agent platform and run it locally using Docker, giving you a REST API for serving your agents, a Postgres database for storing your data and traces, an MCP server, and a control plane.

Deploying somewhere else? Use the same prompt but point it to a different repo. The starter templates are identical except for the deploy scripts: swap agentos-railway for agentos-docker, agentos-aws, agentos-gcp, agentos-azure, agentos-fly, agentos-render, agentos-modal, or agentos-helm.

Prefer to code by hand?
  • Build your first agent in 20 lines of code.
  • Build your own agent platform.
  • Read the docs.

Features

  • Production API. 50+ endpoints with SSE and websockets to build a product on top.
  • Storage. Store sessions, memory, knowledge, and traces in your own database.
  • 100+ integrations. Connect to GitHub, Slack, Postgres, and more using pre-built toolkits.
  • Context Providers. Access live data from Slack, Drive, wikis, MCP, and custom sources.
  • Human approval. Pause runs for user confirmation. Block tools that require admin approval.
  • Observability. Monitor with OpenTelemetry tracing, run history, and audit logs.
  • Security. Get JWT-based RBAC and multi-user, multi-tenant isolation out of the box.
  • Interfaces. Expose your agents via Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, AG-UI, A2A.
  • Scheduling. Cron-based scheduling and background jobs with no external infrastructure.
  • Deploy anywhere. Run on any cloud platform that runs containers. Docker, Railway, AWS, GCP.

Use Agno with your coding agent

Two options:

  1. Recommended: Add Agno docs as an MCP server. Add docs.agno.com/mcp to your favourite coding agent.
  2. Add Agno docs as an indexed source. In Cursor: Settings → Indexing & Docs → Add https://docs.agno.com/llms-full.txt. Also works in VSCode, Windsurf, and similar tools.

Telemetry

Agno sends a telemetry event per agent run so we know which model providers to prioritize. Prompts, messages, and outputs are never sent. Disable by setting AGNO_TELEMETRY=false.
