Exploring OAI Swarm: A Lightweight Multi-Agent Framework
I’m sure everyone saw OAI Swarm over the weekend. It’s getting some solid traction Swarm 🐝 is an experimental lightweight multi-agent framework. We used Arize Phoenix and OpenTelemetry to take a closer look at what's going on under the hood: Swarm enables the creation of multi-agent systems, where each agent has a defined focus and limited actions. At any given time, only one agent is in control, but it can pass control to another. What sets Swarm apart?
Simplicity: Agents have names, Instructions (system prompts for invoking an LLM), and Functions (actions they can take)
Code Efficiency: The Agent class is a Pydantic model, with functions returning information as strings, dictionaries, or routing control to other agents. Instead of complex
JSON schemas, Python functions handle everything. Check out the full write up by my boy Xander S. below. We did the work so you don’t have to https://x.com/axiomofjoy/status/1845199589902778519
