Eduard van Valkenburg 5e056b672e Python: [BREAKING] Python: Provider-leading client design & OpenAI package extraction (#4818)
* Python: Provider-leading client design & OpenAI package extraction

Major refactoring of the Python Agent Framework client architecture:

- Extract OpenAI clients into new `agent-framework-openai` package
- Core package no longer depends on openai, azure-identity, azure-ai-projects
- Rename clients for discoverability: OpenAIResponsesClient → OpenAIChatClient,
  OpenAIChatClient → OpenAIChatCompletionClient
- Unify `model_id`/`deployment_name`/`model_deployment_name` → `model` param
- New FoundryChatClient for Azure AI Foundry Responses API
- New FoundryAgent/FoundryAgentClient for connecting to pre-configured Foundry agents
- Remove OpenAIBase/OpenAIConfigMixin from non-deprecated client MRO
- Deprecate AzureOpenAI* clients, AzureAIClient, OpenAIAssistantsClient
- Reorganize samples: azure_openai+azure_ai+azure_ai_agent → azure/
- ADR-0020: Provider-Leading Client Design

* fix: missing Agent imports in samples, .model_id → .model in foundry_local sample

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix: CI failures — mypy errors, coverage targets, sample imports

- azure-ai mypy: add type ignores for TypedDict total=, model arg, forward ref
- Coverage: replace core.azure/openai targets with openai package target
- project_provider: add type annotation for opts dict

AutoGen → Microsoft Agent Framework Migration Samples

This gallery helps AutoGen developers move to the Microsoft Agent Framework (AF) with minimal guesswork. Each script pairs AutoGen code with its AF equivalent so you can compare primitives, tooling, and orchestration patterns side by side while you migrate production workloads.

What's Included

Single-Agent Parity

Multi-Agent Orchestration

Each script is fully async and the main() routine runs both implementations back to back so you can observe their outputs in a single execution.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10 or later.
  • Access to the necessary model endpoints (Azure OpenAI, OpenAI, etc.).
  • Installed SDKs: Install AutoGen and the Microsoft Agent Framework with:
    pip install "autogen-agentchat autogen-ext[openai] agent-framework"
    
  • Service credentials exposed through environment variables (e.g., OPENAI_API_KEY).

Running Single-Agent Samples

From the repository root:

python samples/autogen-migration/single_agent/01_basic_assistant_agent.py

Every script accepts no CLI arguments and will first call the AutoGen implementation, followed by the AF version. Adjust the prompt or credentials inside the file as necessary before running.

Running Orchestration Samples

Advanced comparisons are in autogen-migration/orchestrations (RoundRobin, Selector, Swarm, Magentic). You can run them directly:

python samples/autogen-migration/orchestrations/01_round_robin_group_chat.py
python samples/autogen-migration/orchestrations/04_magentic_one.py

Tips for Migration

  • Default behavior differences: AutoGen's AssistantAgent is single-turn by default (max_tool_iterations=1), while AF's Agent is multi-turn and continues tool execution automatically.
  • Thread management: AF agents are stateless by default. Use agent.create_session() and pass it to run() to maintain conversation state, similar to AutoGen's conversation context.
  • Tools: AutoGen uses FunctionTool wrappers; AF uses @tool decorators with automatic schema inference.
  • Orchestration patterns:
    • RoundRobinGroupChatSequentialBuilder or WorkflowBuilder
    • SelectorGroupChatGroupChatBuilder with LLM-based speaker selection
    • SwarmHandoffBuilder for agent handoff coordination
    • MagenticOneGroupChatMagenticBuilder for orchestrated multi-agent workflows
