About Pydantic-AI

Pydantic AI is a Python agent framework designed to help you quickly and painlessly build production-grade applications and workflows with Generative AI. It ships an agent loop, a composable capabilities system, and built-in capabilities such as thinking, web search, web fetch, and image generation. Inspired by FastAPI, it leverages Pydantic validation for type-safe, structured outputs. The framework supports multiple LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Bedrock, etc.), tools and toolkits, multimodal input, durable execution (Temporal, DBOS, Prefect, Restate, Kitaru, Apache Airflow), and features like MCP, agent specs, and agent evaluation via Pydantic Evals.
