  Strands is a new Python SDK from Amazon that aims to shorten the time required for developing agentic AI applications. If MCP wasn't enough, now there's Agents everywhere! Agentic AI promises to go beyond simple MCP cases and enable task completions with complex coordinated workflows. As such, SDKs have started to appear to help build such agents. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/105-artificial-intelligence/18265-aws-open-sources-strands-agents-.html

  This is the general availability of the Java's interface to Google's Agent Development Kit, the toolkit for building smart AI agents. Google Agent Development Kit or ADK for short, is a flexible and modular framework for developing and deploying AI agents that promises an easier and more streamlined workflow for developers. While it integrates seamlessly with Google's products and especially Gemini, it's model and deployment agnostic thus it can be integrated to other agentic frameworks as well. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/80-java/18258-java-agent-development-kit-goes-ga.html
