Let's reshare the story of Swarms.
Many people don't realize that Swarms was one of the first agent frameworks ever created more than 3 years ago.
Swarms has inspired countless frameworks, including CrewAI, OpenAI's Swarm, Autogen, Agno, and Langraph all of which are descendants of Swarms.

Swarms was originally conceived after the release of the Chain of Thought paper.
Our founder, @KyeGomezB, implemented the Chain of Thought paper while working on open-source AI research.
He would then go on to implement Tree of Thoughts, Algorithm of Thoughts, and countless other AI model architectures and prompting techniques.
He discovered that, regardless of how intelligent individual LLMs were, they needed to collaborate to enhance their performance, reduce hallucination, handle multiple tasks concurrently, and increase the memory capacity.

Through this realization, @KyeGomezB essentially pioneered the field of multi-agent LLM collaboration.
He then recruited some of his closest friends, who were working alongside him in open-source AI research on Discord, to collaborate on Swarms.
Swarms introduced the simplified Agent class structure, which was the most straightforward abstraction of an AI agent ever defined at the time.
Kye defined an agent as:
LLM + Tools + Memory + Loop = Agent
This was, by far, the simplest definition of an LLM agent up to that point.
After releasing the agent abstraction, the team went on to develop Sequential Workflow, Concurrent Workflow, and Hierarchical Workflow.
These were the first three multi-agent architectures, and they remain the most widely used to this day.

Swarms inspired the creation of numerous frameworks, including AutoGen, LangGraph, CrewAI, OpenAI's Swarm, and many others, all of which owe their existence to Swarms, the first-ever multi-agent framework.
Swarms has consistently prioritized full integration and backward compatibility with these frameworks, fostering true inclusivity in an era of vendor-locked agent platforms, many of which are largely derivatives of the original agent infrastructure platform.
To this day, Swarms remains the primary source of innovation among all available agent frameworks, pioneering new multi-agent architectures, optimizing operations in lower-level programming languages like Rust, and emphasizing code speed and reliability.
Other frameworks continue to copy Swarms to this day.

For a couple of years, Swarms was not officially a corporate entity. From its inception, it was considered an open-source research project, one of many that @KyeGomezB was working on at the time.
In February 2024, Swarms officially became a company and has since grown from over 100 stars on GitHub to more than 5,200 GitHub stars, with thousands of frequent users.
Swarms now supports frameworks in various languages, including Rust, C#, and many others.
To this day, Swarms remains the world leader in agentic infrastructure, providing the simplest yet most powerful agent frameworks available.

The Swarms team is now rigorously researching the scaling laws of multi-agent systems, focusing on how to scale them while maintaining reliability.
Our mission is to enable every organization in the global economy to become fully autonomous.
We believe that most organizations will soon have fully autonomous, agentic sales and engineering departments, among others.
Soon after, entire industries will become fully automated.
Swarms is now focused on the final stage of AI evolution, surpassing AGI and ASI entirely: large-scale collaborative intelligence.
At our core, we believe collaborative intelligence is incomprehensibly more powerful than individualistic AI systems.
For example, the human economy wasn't built by a single person but by billions of people interacting and collaborating over countless millennials.
This illustrates that multi-agent collaboration is the ultimate form of intelligence.
We were there at the beginning, and we will be there at the end.
Only Swarms will remain.
