            About
            The OpenAI Agents SDK enables you to build agentic AI apps in a lightweight, easy-to-use package with very few abstractions. It's a production-ready upgrade of our previous experimentation for agents, Swarm. The Agents SDK has a very small set of primitives, agents, which are LLMs equipped with instructions and tools; handoffs, which allow agents to delegate to other agents for specific tasks; and guardrails, which enable the inputs to agents to be validated. In combination with Python, these primitives are powerful enough to express complex relationships between tools and agents, and allow you to build real-world applications without a steep learning curve. In addition, the SDK comes with built-in tracing that lets you visualize and debug your agentic flows, evaluate them, and even fine-tune models for your application.

            About
            Swarm is an experimental, educational framework developed by OpenAI to explore ergonomic, lightweight multi-agent orchestration. It is designed to be scalable and highly customizable, making it suitable for scenarios involving a large number of independent capabilities and instructions that are challenging to encode into a single prompt. Swarm operates entirely on the client side and, like the Chat Completions API it utilizes, does not store state between calls. This stateless nature allows for the construction of scalable, real-world solutions without a steep learning curve. Swarm agents are distinct from assistants in the assistants API; they are named similarly for convenience but are otherwise completely unrelated. It includes examples demonstrating fundamentals such as setup, function calling, handoffs, and context variables, as well as more complex scenarios like a multi-agent setup for handling different customer service requests in an airline context.
