OpenAI Swarm
Overview
Open‑source experimental SDK for lightweight multi‑agent orchestration via instructions and handoffs.
Best For Professions:
Swarm is an open‑source, educational multi‑agent orchestration framework from OpenAI. It allows developers to define agents with instructions and tools, and supports handoffs—agent transfers via function calls—for dynamic workflows. Swarm is client‑side, stateless between runs, MIT‑licensed, and ideal for exploring multi‑agent patterns, though not intended for production.
Autonomy level
77%
Reasoning: OpenAI Swarm enables high autonomy in multi-agent coordination through programmatic handoff functions and client-side execution. Agents can dynamically transfer tasks without human intervention (e.g., via `transfer_to_agent_b` in the GitHub example). However, autonomy is constrained by the need for predefined functions and agent instructions, limit...
