AI inference

Microsoft AutoGen is a programming framework for agentic AI and multi-agent systems. It provides abstractions for building agents that exchange messages, use tools and participate in structured orchestration patterns, making it suitable for developers who want a flexible research-to-application framework rather than a fixed end-user automation product. Its breadth is valuable for experimentation, but teams should expect to design their own application policies, evaluation and operational controls around it.
