It supports the creation of both single and multi-agent systems incorporating large language models into its design; pick swiftide if swiftide, built in Rust, offers a specialized solution for developing fast and efficient streaming applications related to AI agents and LLM operations. [agentscope](https://docs.agentscope.io/) reports 29k GitHub stars, 3.4k forks, and 354 open issues, last pushed Aug 14, 2026. [swiftide](https://swiftide.rs) has 774 stars, 69 forks, and 18 open issues, last pushed Aug 19, 2026.
