Agent frameworks
Comes up in: AI engineering
This concept is being written. It gets the full five steps — explanation, predict, interview angle, practice with tests, and review cards. Here is exactly what it will cover, so you can study it elsewhere in the meantime.
What it covers
- what frameworks give (loops, state, tracing, memory) and cost (abstraction, lock-in)
- LangGraph (graphs/state), OpenAI Agents SDK, Claude Agent SDK, Vercel AI SDK, Mastra, others at awareness level
- when to write the loop yourself (versions in facts)
Words you will know
What you will practise
- the same agent in raw SDK vs one framework
Interview questions this answers
- Would you use an agent framework or write the loop yourself? Why?
