- A1 is a new agent framework that compiles agents into tools either ahead-of-time (AOT) or just-in-time (JIT).
- It serves as a replacement for frameworks like Langchain, offering improvements in safety, speed, determinism, and flexibility.
- Key features include minimizing sensitive data exposure, faster code generation, and reducing non-deterministic behavior.
- Supports tools from OpenAPI, MCP servers, databases, fsspec paths, and Python functions.
- Aims for 'determinism-maxing' by maximizing deterministic code and minimizing LLM calls.
- Includes observability via OpenTelemetry, RAG support for SQL databases, and context engineering for multi-agent behavior.
- Allows zero lock-in with any LLM or secure code execution cloud.
- Ideal for latency-critical tasks, untrusted data, or tasks needing code execution.
- Documentation and examples available in the tests/ directory and upcoming docs.a1project.org.
