Swarm - AI Agent Frameworks Tool

Overview

Swarm is an experimental, educational framework from OpenAI for lightweight multi-agent orchestration. It demonstrates stateless agent interactions and task handoffs using the Chat Completions API, and is intended for learning and prototyping. Swarm has been superseded by the production-ready OpenAI Agents SDK; it remains useful as a reference implementation and teaching resource.

Key Features

  • Lightweight framework for orchestrating multiple agents
  • Simple task handoffs between agents
  • Demonstrates stateless agent interactions
  • Built to work with the Chat Completions API
  • Open-source reference implementation on GitHub

Ideal Use Cases

  • Learning multi-agent orchestration concepts
  • Prototyping agent handoff patterns
  • Studying stateless agent interaction designs
  • Reference for implementing Chat Completions workflows

Getting Started

  • Visit the Swarm GitHub repository
  • Read the repository README and documentation
  • Clone the repository to your local environment
  • Review example agent workflows and configurations
  • Run provided examples to observe agent handoffs
  • Adapt examples to prototype your own agents

Pricing

Limitations

  • Experimental and educational—not production-grade
  • Superseded by the production-ready OpenAI Agents SDK
  • Focuses on stateless interactions, not stateful orchestration
