The AI agent space has matured rapidly. What was experimental in 2024 is production infrastructure in 2026. Frameworks like LangGraph and CrewAI have converged on similar orchestration primitives. Coding agents like OpenHands and Goose are solving the hard problems of loop detection and context management. Memory systems like Letta are making architectural bets on durable execution that could reshape how we think about agent state.
