Comment on Swarm, a new agent framework by OpenAIparent

Comments

The underlying issue is that AI agents too slow,

Inference speed is being rapidly optimized, especially for edge devices.

too expensive,

The half-life of OpenAI's API pricing is a couple of months. While the bleeding edge model is always costly, the cost of API's are becoming rapidly available to the public.

and too unreliable

Out of the 3 points raised, this is probably the most up in the air. Personally I chalk this up to sideeffects of OpenAI's rapid growth over the last few years. I think this gets solved, especially once price and latency have been figured out.

IMO, the biggest unknown here isn't a technical one, but rather a business one- I don't think it's certain that products built on multi-agent architectures will be addressing a need for end users. Most of the talk I see in this space are by people excited by building with LLM's, not by people who are asking to pay for these products.
