“First-party SDK with excellent TypeScript support. Tool use and streaming work flawlessly. The agent loop is well-designed.”
“10x smaller bundles than Electron with native performance. Use your web frontend with a Rust backend.”
“Using the official SDK reduces risk of breaking changes. The agent patterns are production-tested by Anthropic themselves.”
“The Electron alternative that delivers on the promise of small, fast desktop apps. Tauri 2.0 adds mobile support.”
“Anthropic's approach to safe, capable agents sets the standard. The SDK makes best practices the default path.”
