Three frameworks, three mental models. When to use each and why — with a real orchestration case.
CrewAI models agents as a team, each with an explicit role and a set of tasks to carry out. How it compares with LangGraph and AutoGen, what the multi-agent pattern really costs to run, and when the extra coordination is worth paying for.
LangGraph models LLM agents as explicit state graphs instead of an opaque loop. When it beats the traditional LangChain agent loop, how checkpointing and failure recovery work, and how to structure flows that do not fall apart the moment they reach production.
