Summary

What changed

Microsoft published the public-preview Agent Framework for Go SDK (microsoft/agent-framework-go), bringing core agent and multi-agent workflow concepts to Go. Declarative agents, RAG, CodeAct, and functional workflows are not yet available in the Go SDK, and APIs may change during the preview.

Why it matters

Go is the language of much cloud and platform infrastructure, so a first-party agent SDK there lets infra teams build agents in the same language as their services rather than bolting on a Python runtime. It also marks Microsoft joining Google in backing Go for agents, while OpenAI and Anthropic have not shipped comparable first-party Go SDKs.
