Compare frameworks
AutoGen vs LangChain vs Semantic Kernel
Every figure below carries the source that reported it and the moment it was observed. Values that failed validation are withheld rather than shown, and a dash means no source we track carries that field for that framework.

Sources: GitHub REST API, npm registry downloads, PyPI registry metadata, pypistats.org downloads. Most recent observation 2h ago. Where a row is marked, ▲ is the highest of the values shown and ▼ the lowest — arithmetic on the figures above, not a ranking or a recommendation. Rows where neither extreme is meaningful are left unmarked rather than given a direction they do not have.
