Relevance: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
AgentScope explicitly supports Ollama as a backend, making it directly compatible with PUMA’s local inference stack.
Pass 2 — Key Points
AgentScope’s actor-model concurrency allows running multiple specialist agents in parallel — directly applicable to PUMA Stage 5 where a triage agent, estimation agent, and risk agent could process a backlog simultaneously.
Ollama integration: AgentScope’s OllamaChat backend calls Ollama’s REST API. This means PUMA could switch from a custom Ollama integration to AgentScope with minimal code changes.
Comparison with LangGraph: AgentScope excels at robustness and concurrency; LangGraph at graph-based state machines with cycles. For PUMA Stage 5, AgentScope may be simpler to implement correctly.

- Stage 5 option: AgentScope as the multi-agent orchestration framework → Smart-PMO-Vision
- Compatible with Ollama local inference → LN-Tools-Ollama-ClaudeCode-OpenCode-BrowserOS
