Strands Agents is a lightweight, code-first framework for building AI agents, designed to simplify agent development by leveraging the reasoning capabilities of modern language models. Developers can create agents with just a few lines of Python code, defining a prompt and a list of tools, allowing the agent to autonomously execute complex tasks. It supports multiple model providers, including Amazon Bedrock (defaulting to Claude 3.7 Sonnet), Anthropic, OpenAI, and more, offering flexibility in model selection. Strands Agents features a customizable agent loop that processes user input, decides on tool usage, executes tools, and generates responses, supporting both streaming and non-streaming interactions. ...
