Open-source framework for building agentic and RAG applications visually

Langflow's 1.11 agent-protocol work reaches the desktop app.

Current state
Langflow 1.11 is now available as a Desktop build, following the OSS release that carried the substance: Human-in-the-Loop checkpoints, A2A protocol support, AG-UI streaming for the Workflow API, and first-class multi-vector retrieval with ColBERT-style late interaction and ColPali-style visual document retrieval. The desktop entry is packaging, not new capability.
Where it's heading
Langflow keeps attaching agent-interoperability protocols and serious retrieval to what began as a visual flow builder. The pattern is consistent: each minor version adds a standard other agent systems can speak to, then follows with a desktop build a fortnight later. The engineering posts about an ~89% memory reduction suggest the platform work is aimed at production deployment, not demos.
Prediction
Expect 1.12 to continue the protocol trajectory rather than the visual editor, with the desktop build trailing the OSS release by a couple of weeks as it did for 1.10 and 1.11.
