OpenAI Swarm: educational framework for multi-agent with handoffs
In one sentence OpenAI publishes Swarm on GitHub, a minimal Python framework for orchestrating multiple agents with handoffs and routines — explicitly positioned as an 'educational' precursor to a future Agents SDK.
OpenAI publishes on GitHub a small framework called Swarm. It's for coordinating multiple AI "agents" together: e.g. an agent that receives the request, figures out what it's about, and hands it off to another specialized agent.
They explicitly present it as an experimental learning project, not an official product. It's OpenAI's way of showing the direction it's heading ahead of a more structured SDK.
Within days of release, dozens of community examples appear with "agent teams" doing things like customer support, code review, sales.
