- Model Context Protocol (MCP spec) T1
Anthropic-introduced open protocol (Nov 2024) for connecting LLMs to data sources and tools. Donated by Anthropic to the Linux Foundation's Agentic AI Foundation (announced 2025-12-09); now governed as Model Context Protocol, a Series of LF Projects, LLC. Supported across Claude, ChatGPT, VS Code, Cursor and many other clients.
- LangChain (framework) T1
Dominant Python/JS framework for LLM apps — tool calling, agents, retrievers, runnables. Memory is one component (LangMem cross-listed); the framework itself is the product.
- Vercel AI SDK T1
Vercel's TypeScript LLM SDK — streaming, tool calls, structured outputs, agents. Dominant framework for Next.js LLM apps.
- LlamaIndex (framework) T1
Data framework for LLM apps — connectors, indices, query engines, agents, workflows. Memory is one of many subsystems (LlamaIndex Memory cross-listed).
- OpenAI Agents SDK T1
OpenAI's official Python framework for agents — handoffs, guardrails, tracing built in. Successor to OpenAI Swarm (experimental); officially supported.
- LangGraph (orchestration) T1
LangChain's stateful graph runtime for agents — explicit state, persistence, time-travel debugging, human-in-the-loop. Memory is one persistence target (LangGraph Persistence cross-listed).
