What is Sanity?
Sanity is spending this month on the surfaces around the editor, not the editor itself.
Sanity ships across five surfaces in parallel — Studio, Media Library, the Manage console, the MCP server and Connect for Shopify — and the last two weeks touched four of them. Studio 6.5 through 6.8 are dominated by bugfixes, plus one substantial addition in table editing for Portable Text and an unattended-mode pass over the CLI. Media Library got a grid redesign and now stores original video files. The MCP server is on a maintenance cadence.
What is Agno?
Agno's 2.7.0 turns AgentOS from a runtime into something you can secure and test.
Agno released v2.7.0 as a production-hardening pass on AgentOS. A new agno.eval layer supplies a suite runner, an argparse CLI with team subjects and numeric judge scoring, and a stable SuiteResult.to_dict() contract for gating CI. MCP Interface v2 exposes an eight-tool operator surface at /mcp with trimmed run results and progress reporting, while MCP components now deep-copy through resolve_* helpers so concurrent requests cannot inherit each other's state. Auth consolidated into a single middleware covering REST, /mcp, and WebSocket, A2A and AGUI routes now enforce scope-based authorization, and a GET /info endpoint reports version, MCP status, and auth mode for tooling to read before connecting.
Sanity vs Agno: editorial side-by-side
Sanity
5.0DEVOPS
Sanity is spending this month on the surfaces around the editor, not the editor itself.
◆ Current state
Sanity ships across five surfaces in parallel — Studio, Media Library, the Manage console, the MCP server and Connect for Shopify — and the last two weeks touched four of them. Studio 6.5 through 6.8 are dominated by bugfixes, plus one substantial addition in table editing for Portable Text and an unattended-mode pass over the CLI. Media Library got a grid redesign and now stores original video files. The MCP server is on a maintenance cadence.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern is a platform filling in its edges: content operations — releases, roles, CLI automation — are getting the attention the editing experience already had. Two threads stand out. Governance, where a visual builder now generates the GROQ filter behind a custom role, including conditions matched against the assigned user's own attributes. And commerce, where Shopify metafields become queryable in GROQ next to the content. The CLI's unattended-mode sweep is the quiet one: it makes Sanity scriptable in CI with no human at the prompt.
◆ Prediction
The Shopify import stops short of variant metafields and metaobjects and the changelog says so outright — closing that gap is the most concretely signposted next move.
Agno
7.5DEVOPS
Agno's 2.7.0 turns AgentOS from a runtime into something you can secure and test.
◆ Current state
Agno released v2.7.0 as a production-hardening pass on AgentOS. A new agno.eval layer supplies a suite runner, an argparse CLI with team subjects and numeric judge scoring, and a stable SuiteResult.to_dict() contract for gating CI. MCP Interface v2 exposes an eight-tool operator surface at /mcp with trimmed run results and progress reporting, while MCP components now deep-copy through resolve_* helpers so concurrent requests cannot inherit each other's state. Auth consolidated into a single middleware covering REST, /mcp, and WebSocket, A2A and AGUI routes now enforce scope-based authorization, and a GET /info endpoint reports version, MCP status, and auth mode for tooling to read before connecting.
◆ Where it's heading
This is the release where an agent framework grows the properties of ordinary server software: one auth layer across every transport, authorization rather than bare authentication, request isolation under concurrency, capability discovery for external tooling, and a test harness that fails a build. Agno is arguing that AgentOS is something you deploy and operate, not a library you prototype with, and every item in v2.7.0 supports that claim.
◆ Prediction
Expect the eval layer to grow regression tracking across runs, since a CI gate is only useful with a baseline to compare against. The GET /info endpoint and agnoctl suggest more external operator tooling built on the discovery contract.
