CrewAI v1.12 Ships Agent Skills, Qdrant Edge Memory Backend, and Hierarchical Memory Isolation With Native OpenRouter/DeepSeek/Ollama Providers

CrewAI·medium signal

CrewAI released v1.12 with three major additions: agent skills for reusable capability packages, a Qdrant Edge storage backend for local-first agent memory, and automatic root_scope for hierarchical memory isolation across multi-agent systems. Native OpenAI-compatible provider support adds OpenRouter, DeepSeek, Ollama, vLLM, Cerebras, and Dashscope without adapter code. The Qdrant Edge integration enables RAG-based short-term and entity memory that persists across agent execution cycles.
