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.

About

a13n is an open-source AI agent development framework and self-hosted platform for building, testing, and running agent applications. Developers define agents with instructions, models, tools, and execution environments using the Python Harness SDK, or configure agents through Harness UI. The Service provides a shared workspace and HTTP API for applications that need managed agents, saved conversations, and resumable runs. Agent work can execute locally or on a deployed Service, with checkpointing for eligible runs. The platform connects to model providers, external applications, web-data services, and remote MCP servers, and can be deployed using Docker Compose or Kubernetes. It is designed for software developers and platform teams creating AI-enabled workflows and applications; customers operate their own infrastructure and provider credentials.
