BeeAI Framework
Linux Foundation
Open agent framework formerly known as Bee Agent Framework, now under Linux Foundation governance.
Curated by Tiberiu ArvaStale
Strengths
- Linux Foundation governance
- Agent-oriented framework primitives
- IBM/BeeAI lineage
Practitioner note
Interesting IBM-backed open framework for governed agent patterns, but most teams should still validate ecosystem depth before broad standardisation.
