DeepSeek V4.1-Flash-1017 jumps 11 points on Terminal-Bench 4.0 at the same deepseek-flash price. Benchmarks vs Opus 5, K3, GLM-5.3 and when to switch.

How durable execution keeps AI agents alive through crashes, deploys and multi-day approvals, with a LangGraph crash test and type-checked code.

Evaluate AI agents in layers: deterministic tool checks, trajectory match, then an LLM judge. Working code for Pydantic Evals, Mastra and more.

GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst and Flare add xhigh and max quality at GPT Image 2 token rates. Model IDs, type-checked code, costs and when to pick each.

How LangGraph, Mastra, the AI SDK, OpenAI Agents SDK and Claude Agent SDK pause agent tool calls for approval, with verified code for all five.

LangChain 1.4 and LangGraph 1.2: per-call approvals, MCP, node timeouts and DeltaChannel, now with 100-update snapshots and Decisions-based routing in JS.

LlamaIndex in late 2026: Python Workflows 2.26 with typed events, human-in-the-loop and DBOS durability, plus LiteParse. LlamaIndex.TS is deprecated.

Mastra in late 2026: goals, schedules, signals, AgentController GA, eval gates and MCP 2.x, with type-checked TypeScript examples and honest tradeoffs.

MCP vs A2A vs function calling compared on the 2026-07-28 MCP spec and A2A 1.0: what each protocol does, where they overlap, and how to stack them.

Microsoft Agent Framework is at Python 1.23 and .NET 1.25: MCP 2.x, explicit AG-UI auth, Harness agents, functional workflows, and the AutoGen migration.

Seven multi-agent patterns, one diagram each, and which framework ships each natively: OpenAI Agents SDK, LangGraph, Mastra, AI SDK, ADK, CrewAI, A2A v1.0.

OpenAI's Agents API can now operate web apps in a hosted session. Enable computer_use, approve each origin and handle sign-in in a five-minute window.
