Abstract
Microsoft Agent Framework is Microsoft's open-source AI agent framework following Semantic Kernel and AutoGen, combining agents, tool calling, handoff orchestration, and graph-based workflow runtime design. This talk focuses on Microsoft Agent Framework as the main subject and examines its source code: how agents wrap instructions, tools, and model clients; how handoff transfers control; and how WorkflowBuilder, Executor, Edge, Runner, and checkpointing support multi-step and multi-agent collaboration. OpenAI Agents SDK and LangGraph will be used as reference points to compare model-driven agent abstractions with graph workflow runtimes, and to discuss whether Microsoft Agent Framework can be understood as "LangGraph for Enterprise" in the open-source AI agent ecosystem.
