As of May 22, 2026, enterprise operations leaders evaluating multi-agent frameworks for supply chain, customer triage, and back-office automation face a crowded market. This comparison benchmarks CrewAI, AutoGen, and LangGraph against GPT‑5 Turbo and Gemini 3.5 Flash, with a decision matrix for latency, cost, and RPA integration.

What’s New: The May 2026 Multi-Agent Landscape As of May 22, 2026, enterprise operations teams have more multi-agent framework options than ever—and more pressure to get the choice right. Recent model releases (OpenAI’s GPT‑5 Turbo and Google’s Gemini 3.5 Flash) have shifted performance baselines for agentic systems, especially in latency-sensitive and high-throughput environments like supply chain monitoring and customer triage. This article provides an objective, head-to-head comparison of the three leading open-source / low-code frameworks: - CrewAI (CrewAI Technologies, open-source) - AutoGen (Microsoft Research, now AG2 GitHub repository) - LangGraph (LangChain) We focus specifically on their suitability for three common enterprise operations workloads: 1. Supply chain anomaly detection and response 2. Customer triage escalation 3
