" summary

Microsoft announces a unified Microsoft Agent Framework (Semantic Kernel + AutoGen successor) that connects to OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Bedrock and local models, shows a VS Code demo building a multi-agent event planner and a LangGraph calculator, and claims over a million agents in 25,000 organizations. Workflow graphs run locally in Dev UI, deploy as containers to Foundry via agent.yaml + AZD deployment, support Durable Functions hosting, Purview DLP, ChatKit/AGUI UIs, OpenTelemetry tracing and continuous evaluations.
