Phidata is now Agno
We’re excited to share that Phidata is now Agno - the fastest framework for building multi-modal Agents.
Why Agno?
Agno (ἁγνὸ) means pure in Greek, reflecting our design principles:
-
Simplicity: No graphs, chains, or convoluted patterns – just pure Python.
-
Uncompromising Performance: Blazing-fast Agents with a minimal memory footprint.
-
Truly Agnostic: Any model, any provider, any modality – future-proof by design.
Blazing Fast
Agno outperforms all leading agent frameworks:
-
5000x Faster agent instantiation than Langgraph
-
50x Less Memory usage
See the performance section for more details.
Migrating from Phidata
Thank you for building with Phidata, we know this is a big change and migrations are never welcome. We want to make the process as smooth as possible.
The changes are mostly cosmetic (eg: use from phi.model. use from agno.models.) and are outlined in detail here. We took this opportunity to cleanup the codebase and squeeze every ounce of performance as possible.
The Agno documentation covers all the details you need, and we will keep the phidata documentation up for as long as needed.
Finally, the Agno team is here to help, we are (very) actively monitoring this forum. For urgent help, please use the migration tag and we’ll prioritize all support to it.
Thank you again for building with Phidata, and now Agno.
We are grateful for the opportunity to serve you.
