Foundry Local Integration for Microsoft Agent Framework

agent-framework-foundry-local is a Python package that provides an integration client for the Microsoft Agent Framework to run large language models (LLMs) locally using Foundry Local. It allows developers to build and orchestrate AI agents that leverage local inference capabilities without needing cloud API keys. The package is currently in beta, while the broader Microsoft Agent Framework recently reached version 1.0.0, indicating active development and a rapid release cadence for the ecosystem.
