Developer tool
Open-source Python framework for building typed AI agents that call tools and subagents, validate tool arguments and structured outputs and retry when a check fails, keep a plan, workspace and memory through the Pydantic AI Harness package, and resume long runs on a durable runtime such as Temporal or DBOS, with models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Bedrock, Mistral, Groq or Ollama.
Pydantic Logfire collects application traces and evaluates AI outputs to help developers investigate failures and verify changes.
