-### Key differences
-
-**LangChain Deep Agents**:
-- **Model flexibility**: Swap model providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, or 100+ others) at any time and run evaluations.
-- **Long-term memory**: Persist context across sessions and threads with the [Memory Store](/oss/deepagents/memory)
-- **Sandbox-as-tool pattern**: Run individual operations in isolated sandboxes from [different providers](/oss/deepagents/sandboxes) while the agent runs outside, or run the full agent inside a sandbox
-- **Virtual filesystem**: Use pluggable backends (in-memory, disk, durable stores, sandboxes) for context and checkpoint management
-- **Production deployment**: Deploy via [`deepagents deploy`](/oss/deepagents/deploy) or self-host with the Agent Server
-- **Observability**: Use [LangSmith](/langsmith/home) for native tracing and debugging
-
-**Claude Agent SDK**:
-- **Standardize on Claude**: First-class support for Claude models across Anthropic, Azure, Vertex AI, and AWS Bedrock
-- **Custom hosting**: Build your own HTTP/WebSocket layer and run the SDK in containers
-- **Hooks**: Easily intercept and control agent behavior
-
-**Codex SDK**:
-- **Standardize on OpenAI**: GPT-5.3-Codex and OpenAI-specific tooling
-- **OS-level sandbox modes**: Use built-in `read-only`, `workspace-write`, or `danger-full-access` modes
-- **MCP server mode**: Expose your agent as an MCP server with `codex mcp-server`
-- **Observability**: Use [OpenAI Traces](https://developers.openai.com/codex/guides/agents-sdk/#trace-the-workflow)
+### Summary
+
+- **Choose Deep Agents** for an open source, model-agnostic harness you can deploy in a production-ready, [multi-tenant](/oss/deepagents/going-to-production#multi-tenancy) way while [keeping control of your memory](https://www.langchain.com/blog/your-harness-your-memory).
+- **Choose Claude Agent SDK or Codex SDK** if you want to standardize on a single model provider and are comfortable building the hosting, auth, and multi-tenant isolation layers yourself.
