Genkit Agents vs Vercel AI SDK 7 comparison for 2026. Google launched Genkit Agents API (v1.39.0) on July 1, 2026, introducing defineAgent, agents() middleware for multi-agent orchestration, FirestoreSessionStore for persistent sessions, and GenkitChatTransport for Vercel AI SDK useChat integration.

This comparison covers architecture differences (defineAgent vs AgentAction), multi-agent orchestration (agents() middleware vs WorkflowAgent), persistence options (Firestore vs server-managed), frontend adapters (remoteAgent() vs useChat), and deployment targets (Firebase/Cloud Run vs anywhere). Includes performance benchmarks, real code examples for building a customer support agent in both frameworks, honest limitations of each, and guidance on when to choose Genkit over Vercel AI SDK or vice versa.
