Summary
This article from Veso Research analyzes the emerging universal architecture across frontier agentic systems (Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, LangGraph, CrewAI, Google ADK, Amazon Bedrock). It argues that despite being built by different companies under different constraints, these systems have converged on the same design patterns due to fundamental constraints like finite context windows, tool protocols, and safety requirements. The piece explores how any team building agentic systems long enough arrives at this shared architecture.

· 4 pulledClaude Code, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, LangGraph, CrewAI, Google ADK, Amazon Bedrock — built by different companies, in different languages, under different constraints. They converged on the same design.
Not because they copied each other. Because the constraints are physics.
Finite context windows. Tools that need a protocol. Safety that can't depend on the model obeying. Tasks too complex for a single invocation.
Any team that builds long enough arrives here.
The universal architecture emerging across all frontier agentic systems.
