OPENAI SWARM
Lightweight multi-agent orchestration from OpenAI
MIT
ABOUT
Multi-agent systems are powerful but complex: coordinating agent handoffs, managing shared context, and defining clear task boundaries requires significant framework overhead. OpenAI Swarm is a minimal, educational framework that explores two core primitives — routines and handoffs — for building multi-agent coordination. Rather than a production SDK, Swarm serves as a reference implementation of OpenAI's agent design patterns, making it easy to understand and customize agent orchestration for specific use cases.
INSTALL
pip install openai-swarmINTEGRATION GUIDE
1. Learn and experiment with OpenAI's agent routing and handoff design patterns
2. Build a triage agent that routes customer requests to specialized sub-agents
3. Implement a multi-step research pipeline with handoffs between search, analysis, and writing agents
4. Prototype agent orchestration logic with a minimal, readable codebase before scaling
5. Study reference implementations of function calling, context management, and agent delegation
