Modern AI agents often aren't bottlenecked by model quality, they are bottlenecked by orchestration overhead. When an agent chains together many small tool calls, each step typically requires a new model turn, driving up latency and token usage. With CodeAct support in Agent Framework, agents can collapse those multi-step plans into a sing...

In the world of software development, flexibility and adaptability are key. Developers often face challenges when it comes to updating plugin metadata dynamically without disrupting services or requiring redeployment. This is where SemanticPluginForge, an open-source project, steps in to improve the way we manage plugin metadata. LLM Function Ca...

Smarter SK Agents with Contextual Function Selection In today's fast-paced AI landscape, developers are constantly seeking ways to make AI interactions more efficient and relevant. The new Contextual Function Selection feature in the Semantic Kernel Agent Framework is here to address this need. By dynamically selecting and advertising only the mos...

This is Part 2 of our series on integrating Microsoft.Extensions.AI with Semantic Kernel. In Part 1, we explored the relationship between these technologies and how they complement each other. Now, let's dive into practical examples showing how to use Microsoft.Extensions.AI abstractions with Semantic Kernel in non-agent scenarios. Getting Start...

Introduction We are EmbedElite, proud winners of the recent Semantic Kernel Plugins Hackathon. A common challenge for enterprises is the extensive effort in gathering and preparing the necessary context which isn't inherent to LLMs. Recognizing this, we at EmbedElite, set out on a mission to democratize this process, making context retrieval a mor...

Are you curious how you can test your designs and applications against multiple endpoints, and compare cost or performance?  Are you ready to take your prompt engineering to the next level? We are thrilled to announce an exciting new feature for Semantic Kernel Tools, the Visual Studio Code extension designed to enhance the development e...

We are excited to announce the release of Semantic Kernel Tools, the first Semantic Kernel extension for Visual Studio Code. With this extension, developers can develop their own semantic skills on Semantic Kernel faster and with greater ease.  Semantic Kernel Tools provides a user-friendly interface that integrates seamlessly with...
