Agent Framework Benchmarks: Why Architecture Beats Brand
After 45 tests across 5 top frameworks (LangGraph, AutoGen, etc.), we found:
- Quality spread: 0.56 points
- Time differences: 22-47%
- Token variance: Up to 18%
The framework choice matters less than its architectural fit.
Key Findings
| Framework Type | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Graph-based | Predictable costs | 12-15% slower |
| Async | Flexible workflows | Debugging complexity |
| Sequential | Simple implementation | Poor error recovery |
Current Market Trends
- Consolidation from 50+ to 5-9 production-ready options
- Standardization via Model Context Protocol
- Shift from novelty to stability
Stop optimizing for hypothetical quality gains. Start matching frameworks to your infrastructure constraints.
