Agent services provide a remote or managed agent runtime rather than only model inference. The service can own the agent definition, hosted tools, permissions, sessions, or execution lifecycle while Agent Framework exposes a consistent run interface to your application.
For inference clients where your application owns the agent definition and orchestration, see Model Providers.
