What is Google Scion used for?

Scion's a testbed for multi-agent orchestration—measure coordination, policies, metrics before building prod agent systems.

How does Scion compare to LangGraph or CrewAI?

Scion focuses on research metrics (rounds, re-sends, completion) out-of-box; others prioritize flows over granular eval.

Is Scion ready for production?

No—it's explicitly a research platform. Use it to benchmark, then port insights to your stack.
