DataRobot Releases Open Source Framework for Performant Agentic Workflows
DataRobot, the agentic workforce platform, is launching syftr, an open source framework designed to identify performant agentic workflows for commercial use, empowering AI practitioners to programmatically discover and implement the best combinations of components, parameters, tools, and strategies for agentic use cases.
Syftr offers a multi-objective approach that rapidly simulates possible configurations to identify the best AI workflows with enterprise data and optimizes for task accuracy, latency, and cost, according to the company.
“With syftr, we’re changing that paradigm to make agentic AI useful, performant, and customizable for enterprises. For the first time, practitioners and developers can truly evaluate the full landscape of AI technologies against company data and implement use cases that balance accuracy, speed, and cost. Now with syftr, they can confidently and quickly implement agentic pipelines and take the guesswork out of manual experimentation," said Venky Veeraraghavan, chief product officer at DataRobot.
Syftr streamlines the evaluation of entire agentic workflows through several key innovations. Now AI practitioners can:
- Discover optimal agent pipeline patterns, components, and parameters with multi-objective search.
- Run computations efficiently with minimized costs with a Bayesian optimization early stopping mechanism.
- Evaluate and implement the newest techniques and technologies that are component agnostic along with providing an agent pipeline code generator.
“At today’s scale and pace of innovation, it’s impossible for developers to manually evaluate every new technique, tool, and LLM update. And while there are many benchmarks to evaluate model capabilities and performance in isolation, models are rarely used in a vacuum, particularly in the enterprise. Now, syftr is breaking down these barriers for the first time and enabling AI teams to explore large-scale workflow search spaces and deliver AI agents faster than ever before,” said Debadeepta Dey, distinguished researcher at DataRobot.
The syftr framework is available immediately as a permissively-licensed open source project with industry benchmark datasets and a DataRobot training dataset accessible for free on Huggingface.
The enterprise version of syftr will be available in fall 2025.
