do both the python sdk and node sdk have the same features?

Thanks for reaching out, Mohammad. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.


Thanks — you're asking whether the Python SDK and Node SDK have the same features. Short answer: no.

• The Python Agents framework is more mature and production-ready (stable v1.0+).
• The Node.js Agents framework is in beta and still working toward feature parity.
• Python has a much larger plugin ecosystem (~40+ plugins) vs. ~10 for Node.
• Python includes built-in retry/fallback logic that Node is still developing.
• Both support string-based service configuration (e.g., `openai/gpt-4`), share core abstractions like `AgentSession`/`JobContext`, and have similar CLI/deployment patterns.
If you tell me which specific features or integrations matter most to your project, I can confirm whether the Node SDK supports them or suggest alternatives.
