llama-cpp-agent vs AgentRunKit

llama-cpp-agent: llama-cpp-agent is a Python framework for interacting with LLMs running via llama.cpp. It provides a unified interface for chat, structured function calls, and JSON-formatted output — including models not explicitly fine-tuned for function calling. Developers can define tools and callable functions that the agent invokes directly, making it practical for building local agentic workflows without cloud dependencies.; AgentRunKit: AgentRunKit is a lightweight Swift 6 framework for building LLM-powered agents with type-safe tool calling. It features zero dependencies, full Sendable support, async/await concurrency, and compatibility with both cloud and on-device models via MCP.
