How OpenAI’s SWARM Simplifies Multi-Agent Systems

In this video, I introduce SWARM, OpenAI’s newly released lightweight multi-agent orchestration framework. SWARM offers a clean and straightforward approach to building multi-agent systems using OpenAI models, focusing on routines (agents) and handoff (transferring execution between agents) to simplify coordination.

Thank you for line by line go through ! appreciated it !!!

[kartikpodugu]

Please create a video on comparison of several such frameworks, and their differences in approaches to solve the multi agentic problems.

[tomaszzielinski]

I had similiar idea, in fact the concept is rather trivial. That's reasurring :)

[bchen-byte]

Thanks for sharing! Have you tried Reka AI models by the way? They just released a new 21B model.

[AmirulIslam-oceq]

It is literally two files module, you can write the things yourself; hope they add more features

[wesleymogaka]

How does it compare with langgraph, can we use it with another LLM?

[Kylbigel]

so...who's gonna be the first to create a swarm of o1-preview agents?

[De-e-kay]

So funny. This is how I program my custom agent state machines. I keep telling people agents are classes with LLM functionality (http/s requests). Nothing more... The desired end state/output is a game loop. Nothing more. I still code everything up my self and developed my own package. Works very well when switching between openai and olama

[Fusion-Pickle]

Has anyone heard if Semantic Kernel is going to be wrapping the swarm framework too?

[RodCoelho]

Can you use this framework with other models like Gemini and open source?

[kepenge]

What application do you use for flowcharts?

[StuartJ]

How does this differ from something like CrewAI?

[beautyadorn]

We move like a $Swarm, decentralized and leaderless

[renovacio]

That was my thought today, why do we need to so disrupt this process? Why can't it be made simpler instead of more complex? I was going to start a little project, but I see someon did it already :D

[DigitalRenegadeStudios]

What are the practical applications of this tech?

[miladmirmoghtadaei]

I just don't get it. Why not give all the tools to a single agent instead if distributing it over several agents?

[Pitergodofwar]

This is like CrewAi or something similar

[eg]

swarm is counter-intuitive to AI. The AI is suppose to build, grow, refine, manage logical structures all on its own("behind the scenes") just like its learning and growing just by users inputs(prompts). Users aren't suppose to take this capability from AI, its suppose to do this in its "head" all while being prompted...probably very little productivity gains in actuality with swarm.

[wehjee]

is it me? or this seems like a super complicated if else statement?

[airobsmith]

not really seeing anything new here. Agent implementations in langgraph seem way ahead of this at the moment.
