# llama_index vs agents

llama_index and agents share 3 technologies: Rich, defusedxml, and Pydantic. llama_index is written in Python and agents in C#.

- [run-llama/llama_index](https://seerepo.com/r/run-llama/llama_index): LlamaIndex is the document processing platform for AI
- [wshobson/agents](https://seerepo.com/r/wshobson/agents): Plugins, agents, skills, and commands for Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, OpenCode, Antigravity CLI, GitHub Copilot, and Pi, written once in Markdown and adapted to each tool by generators with validation and evals.

## Side by side

| | llama_index | agents |
|---|---|---|
| Size | 473,236 lines written, 2,055 code files | 21,199 lines written, 2 code files |
| Who writes it | 0.2% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot | 9% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Jules, and Cursor |
| Activity | Last push November 5, 2026, 7,963 commits, 52,820 stars | Last push November 5, 2026, 553 commits, 42,246 stars |
| Tests | 1,607 test files. 46.5% of its code files have a test that imports them | 31 test files |

- Size: Lines written by people and agents, without generated ones; code files, without tests.
- Who writes it: A commit counts as AI's when it carries its signature: a Co-Authored-By line, its author name or the merge of its branch.
- Activity: From GitHub and its history, on the day SeeRepo read it.
- Tests: The files that test the code, and the share of code files a test imports.
