πŸ”₯ What's New in 2.0

  • Workflow Runtime: A graph-based execution engine for composing deterministic execution flows for agentic apps, with support for routing, fan-out/fan-in, loops, retry, state management, dynamic nodes, human-in-the-loop, and nested workflows.

  • Task API: Structured agent-to-agent delegation with multi-turn task mode, single-turn controlled output, mixed delegation patterns, human-in-the-loop, and task agents as workflow nodes.
