With Semantic Kernel’s enterprise ready AI capabilities, customers can already use and get support for building agent applications and, moving forward, we’ll align the multi-agent runtime in AutoGen (called autogen-core) with Semantic Kernel, allowing customers to create enterprise-ready multi-agent solutions. Our two teams will be working quickly and diligently to get to this alignment, with the goal of making it available in early 2025. Meanwhile, for customers that... </p> </div> </div> </div><div class="masonry-card box bg-white d-flex justify-content-between flex-column p-16 gap-20 rounded shadow position-relative border-1"> <div class="masonry-thumbnail"> <img class="post-thumbnail wp-image-2364 lazyload" width="327" height="181" src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAGQAAAA3AQMAAADANn1OAAAAA1BMVEXW1taWrGEgAAAACXBIWXMAAA7EAAAOxAGVKw4bAAAAD0lEQVQokWNgGAWjYCQDAAMCAAG+ifu+AAAAAElFTkSuQmCC" data-src="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/semantic-kernel/wp-content/uploads/sites/78/2024/03/Feature-announcement-1.png" alt="Working with Audio in Semantic Kernel Python" /> </div> <div class="card-body"> <div class="card-top"> <div class="d-flex align-items-center justify-content-between gap-12 mt-16 mb-16"> <div> Nov 15, 2024 </div> <div class="d-flex gap-12"> <div class="d-flex gap-4 clr-grey-61"> <svg width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <path class="dark-theme" d="M10.4809 13.8424H15.4C16.2962 13.8424 17 13.1289 17 12.2766V5.56594C17 4.7136 16.2962 4.00012 15.4 4.00012H4.6C3.70383 4.00012 3 4.7136 3 5.56594V12.2766C3 13.1289 3.70383 13.8424 4.6 13.8424H6.19908L6.2 17.0001L6.20346 16.9999L6.20502 16.999L10.4809 13.8424ZM6.79895 17.8035C6.35668 18.1299 5.73 18.0407 5.39921 17.6043C5.26989 17.4336 5.2 17.2263 5.2 17.0134L5.19937 14.8424H4.6C3.16406 14.8424 2 13.6936 2 12.2766V5.56594C2 4.14888 3.16406 3.00012 4.6 3.00012H15.4C16.8359 3.00012 18 4.14888 18 5.56594V12.2766C18 13.6936 16.8359 14.8424 15.4 14.8424H10.81L6.79895 17.8035Z" fill="#0F6CBD" /> </svg> <div class="d-flex align-items-center clr-grey-61"> 0 </div> </div> <div class="d-flex gap-4"> <div class="d-flex align-items-center clr-grey-61"> <svg width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <path class="dark-theme" d="M10.4965 17.3028L16.7408 10.9994C18.4252 9.28856 18.4199 6.52549 16.7239 4.81249C15.0611 3.13292 12.3961 3.0895 10.6978 4.69086C10.6612 4.72539 10.6251 4.76068 10.5894 4.79673L9.99299 5.40026L9.38843 4.78963C9.35529 4.75616 9.32175 4.72333 9.28783 4.69116C7.58595 3.07726 4.91654 3.10193 3.26122 4.7739C1.5729 6.4792 1.58114 9.25004 3.27679 10.9627L9.55368 17.3028C9.81404 17.5657 10.2362 17.5657 10.4965 17.3028ZM11.3 5.50029C12.5964 4.19135 14.7025 4.19204 16.0133 5.51604C17.3253 6.84123 17.3272 8.97734 16.0292 10.2968L16.0282 10.2978L10.0252 16.3577L3.98743 10.2592C2.67408 8.93263 2.67286 6.78953 3.97185 5.47746C5.26525 4.17106 7.36984 4.17208 8.6778 5.49319L9.63801 6.46306C9.8338 6.66082 10.1534 6.66067 10.349 6.46272L11.3 5.50029Z" fill="#242424" /> </svg> </div> <div class="d-flex align-items-center clr-grey-61">0 </div> </div> </div> </div> <h3 class="fs-24 fw-600 mb-16"> <a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/semantic-kernel/working-with-audio-in-semantic-kernel-python/" class="single-click excerpt-title" data-bi-id="blog_home_page_latest_posts_card_singleclick" data-bi-name="Working with Audio in Semantic Kernel Python"> Working with Audio in Semantic Kernel Python </a> </h3> <div class="d-flex gap-6 align-items-center"> <div class="avatar-parent"> <img src="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/semantic-kernel/wp-content/uploads/sites/78/2024/07/IMG_0822_Square-96x96.jpg" style="width: 20px; height: 20px;" class="avatar-20 rounded-pill a" alt="Tao Chen"> </div> <span class="fs-14">Tao Chen</span> </div> <p class="excerpt-body mt-16 mb-24"> We are pleased to announce the arrival of audio support in Semantic Kernel Python.
