Framework

LangGraph

Stateful graphs of agents — supervisors, durable runs.

9 patterns supported.

Patterns this framework supports natively

  • SupervisorPlace a coordinating agent above a set of specialised agents and route work to them.
  • Orchestrator-WorkersAn orchestrator dynamically breaks a task into subtasks at runtime and delegates each to a worker LLM, then synthesises results.
  • ReActInterleave a single thought, a single tool call, and a single observation per step so the agent reasons over fresh evidence.
  • Tool UseLet the LLM produce typed calls against an external toolkit instead of producing free-form text the surrounding system has to parse.
  • HandoffTransfer the active conversation from one agent to another, carrying context across the switch.
  • Agent ResumptionPersist agent execution state so a long-running run survives restarts, deploys, or user disconnects.
  • Decision LogPersist the agent's reasoning trace alongside its actions so post-hoc review can explain why.
  • Subagent IsolationRun subagents in isolated workspaces so their writes do not collide and parallelism is safe.
  • Step BudgetCap the number of tool calls or loop iterations the agent is allowed within a single request.
