# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
## Our Pledge
We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our
community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity
and orientation.
We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
## Our Standards
Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
community include:
* Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
* Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
* Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
* Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
and learning from the experience
* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the
overall community
Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
* The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or
advances of any kind
* Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
* Public or private harassment
* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email
address, without their explicit permission
* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
professional setting
## Enforcement Responsibilities
Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
or harmful.
Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
decisions when appropriate.
## Scope
This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail address,
posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
representative at an online or offline event.
## Enforcement
Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at
kye@apac.ai.
All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
reporter of any incident.
## Enforcement Guidelines
Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
### 1. Correction
**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
**Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
### 2. Warning
**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series
of actions.
**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This
includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels
like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or
permanent ban.
### 3. Temporary Ban
**Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including
sustained inappropriate behavior.
**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
### 4. Permanent Ban
**Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior, harassment of an
individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
**Consequence**: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within
the community.

GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 3, 19 November 2007
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://fsf.org/>
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The GNU Affero General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
software and other kinds of works, specifically designed to ensure
cooperation with the community in the case of network server software.
The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
our General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to
share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
software for all its users.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights
with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer
you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
and/or modify the software.
A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that
improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they
receive widespread use, become available for other developers to
incorporate. Many developers of free software are heartened and
encouraged by the resulting cooperation. However, in the case of
software used on network servers, this result may fail to come about.
The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and
letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its
source code to the public.
The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to
ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available
to the community. It requires the operator of a network server to
provide the source code of the modified version running there to the
users of that server. Therefore, public use of a modified version, on
a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source
code of the modified version.
An older license, called the Affero General Public License and
published by Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals. This is
a different license, not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero has
released a new version of the Affero GPL which permits relicensing under
this license.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
0. Definitions.
"This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License.
"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
works, such as semiconductor masks.
"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
on the Program.
To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
public, and in some countries other activities as well.
To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
1. Source Code.
The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
form of a work.
A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
is widely used among developers working in that language.
The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
includes interface definition files associated with source files for
the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
subprograms and other parts of the work.
The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
Source.
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
same work.
2. Basic Permissions.
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
makes it unnecessary.
3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
measures.
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
technological measures.
4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
it, and giving a relevant date.
b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
released under this License and any conditions added under section
7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
"keep intact all notices".
c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
work need not make them do so.
A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
parts of the aggregate.
6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
in one of these ways:
a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
customarily used for software interchange.
b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
with subsection 6b.
d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
charge under subsection 6d.
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
included in conveying the object code work.
A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
the only significant mode of use of the product.
"Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
modification has been made.
If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
been installed in ROM).
The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
protocols for communication across the network.
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
source code form), and must require no special password or key for
unpacking, reading or copying.
7. Additional Terms.
"Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
this License without regard to the additional permissions.
When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
Notices displayed by works containing it; or
c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
authors of the material; or
e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
those licensors and authors.
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
governed by this License along with a term that is a further
restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
not survive such relicensing or conveying.
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
where to find the applicable terms.
Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
the above requirements apply either way.
8. Termination.
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
paragraph of section 11).
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
prior to 60 days after the cessation.
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
your receipt of the notice.
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
material under section 10.
9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
11. Patents.
A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
this License.
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
propagate the contents of its contributor version.
In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
patent against the party.
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
country that you have reason to believe are valid.
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
work and works based on it.
A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
13. Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the
Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users
interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version
supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding
Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source
from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary
means of facilitating copying of software. This Corresponding Source
shall include the Corresponding Source for any work covered by version 3
of the GNU General Public License that is incorporated pursuant to the
following paragraph.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
under version 3 of the GNU General Public License into a single
combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
but the work with which it is combined will remain governed by version
3 of the GNU General Public License.
14. Revised Versions of this License.
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
the GNU Affero General Public License from time to time. Such new versions
will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU Affero General
Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
version or of any later version published by the Free Software
Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
GNU Affero General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
by the Free Software Foundation.
If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
versions of the GNU Affero General Public License can be used, that proxy's
public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
to choose that version for the Program.
Later license versions may give you additional or different
permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
later version.
15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
16. Limitation of Liability.
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH DAMAGES.
17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
copy of the Program in return for a fee.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
Swarms provides multi-agent orchestration mechanisms to enable llm agents to collaborate and work together
Copyright (C) <2025> <Kye Gomez Chairman of TGSC>
This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License as published
by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
(at your option) any later version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
GNU Affero General Public License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU Affero General Public License
along with this program. If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
If your software can interact with users remotely through a computer
network, you should also make sure that it provides a way for users to
get its source. For example, if your program is a web application, its
interface could display a "Source" link that leads users to an archive
of the code. There are many ways you could offer source, and different
solutions will be better for different programs; see section 13 for the
specific requirements.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU AGPL, see
<https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

# Deploying Azure OpenAI in Production: A Comprehensive Guide
In today's fast-paced digital landscape, leveraging cutting-edge technologies has become essential for businesses to stay competitive and provide exceptional services to their customers. One such technology that has gained significant traction is Azure OpenAI, a powerful platform that allows developers to integrate advanced natural language processing (NLP) capabilities into their applications. Whether you're building a chatbot, a content generation system, or any other AI-powered solution, Azure OpenAI offers a robust and scalable solution for production-grade deployment.
In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk through the process of setting up and deploying Azure OpenAI in a production environment. We'll dive deep into the code, provide clear explanations, and share best practices to ensure a smooth and successful implementation.
## Prerequisites:
Before we begin, it's essential to have the following prerequisites in place:
1. **Python**: You'll need to have Python installed on your system. This guide assumes you're using Python 3.6 or later.
2. **Azure Subscription**: You'll need an active Azure subscription to access Azure OpenAI services.
3. **Azure OpenAI Resource**: Create an Azure OpenAI resource in your Azure subscription.

```python
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from swarms import AzureOpenAI
# Load the environment variables
load_dotenv()
# Create an instance of the AzureOpenAI class
model = AzureOpenAI(
azure_endpoint=os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT"),
deployment_name=os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT"),
openai_api_version=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_VERSION"),
openai_api_key=os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY"),
azure_ad_token=os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_AD_TOKEN")
)
```
## Let's break down this code:
1. **Import Statements**: We import the necessary modules, including `os` for interacting with the operating system, `load_dotenv` from `python-dotenv` to load environment variables, and `AzureOpenAI` from `swarms` to interact with the Azure OpenAI service.
2. **Load Environment Variables**: We use `load_dotenv()` to load the environment variables stored in the `.env` file we created earlier.

With our connection to Azure OpenAI established, we can now query the language model and receive responses.
```python
# Define the prompt
prompt = "Analyze this load document and assess it for any risks and create a table in markdwon format."
# Generate a response
response = model(prompt)
print(response)
```
## Here's what's happening:
1. **Define the Prompt**: We define a prompt, which is the input text or question we want to feed into the language model.
2. **Generate a Response**: We call the `model` instance with the `prompt` as an argument. This triggers the Azure OpenAI service to process the prompt and generate a response.
3. **Print the Response**: Finally, we print the response received from the language model.
Running the Code:
To run the code, save it in a Python file (e.g., `main.py`) and execute it from the command line:
```
python main.py
```

> Jupyter Notebook accompanying this post is accessible at: [Business Analyst Agent Notebook](https://github.com/kyegomez/swarms/blob/master/examples/demos/business_analysis_swarm/business-analyst-agent.ipynb)
Solving a business problem often involves preparing a Business Case Report. This report comprehensively analyzes the problem, evaluates potential solutions, and provides evidence-based recommendations and an implementation plan to effectively address the issue and drive business value. While the process of preparing one requires an experienced business analyst, the workflow can be augmented using AI agents. Two candidates stick out as areas to work on:
- Developing an outline to solve the problem
- Doing background research and gathering data
In this post, we will explore how Swarms agents can be used to tackle a busuiness problem by outlining the solution, conducting background research and generating a preliminary report.
Before we proceed, this blog uses 3 API tools. Please obtain the following keys and store them in a `.env` file in the same folder as this file.
- **[OpenAI API](https://openai.com/blog/openai-api)** as `OPENAI_API_KEY`
- **[TavilyAI API](https://app.tavily.com/home)** `TAVILY_API_KEY`
- **[KayAI API](https://www.kay.ai/)** as `KAY_API_KEY`
```python
import dotenv
dotenv.load_dotenv() # Load environment variables from .env file
```
### Developing an Outline to solve the problem
Assume the business problem is: **How do we improve Nike's revenue in Q3 2024?** We first create a planning agent to break down the problem into dependent sub-problems.
#### Step 1. Defining the Data Model and Tool Schema
Using Pydantic, we define a structure to help the agent generate sub-problems.
- **QueryType:** Questions are either standalone or involve a combination of multiple others
- **Query:** Defines structure of a question.
- **QueryPlan:** Allows generation of a dependency graph of sub-questions
```python
import enum
from typing import List
from pydantic import Field, BaseModel
class QueryType(str, enum.Enum):
"""Enumeration representing the types of queries that can be asked to a question answer system."""
SINGLE_QUESTION = "SINGLE"
MERGE_MULTIPLE_RESPONSES = "MERGE_MULTIPLE_RESPONSES"
class Query(BaseModel):
"""Class representing a single question in a query plan."""
id: int = Field(..., description="Unique id of the query")
question: str = Field(
...,
description="Question asked using a question answering system",
)
dependencies: List[int] = Field(
default_factory=list,
description="List of sub questions that need to be answered before asking this question",
)
node_type: QueryType = Field(
default=QueryType.SINGLE_QUESTION,
description="Type of question, either a single question or a multi-question merge",
)
class QueryPlan(BaseModel):
"""Container class representing a tree of questions to ask a question answering system."""
query_graph: List[Query] = Field(
..., description="The query graph representing the plan"
)
def _dependencies(self, ids: List[int]) -> List[Query]:
"""Returns the dependencies of a query given their ids."""
return [q for q in self.query_graph if q.id in ids]
```
Also, a `tool_schema` needs to be defined. It is an instance of `QueryPlan` and is used to initialize the agent.
```python
tool_schema = QueryPlan(
query_graph = [query.dict() for query in [
Query(
id=1,
question="How do we improve Nike's revenue in Q3 2024?",
dependencies=[2],
node_type=QueryType('SINGLE')
),
# ... other queries ...
]]
)
```
#### Step 2. Defining the Planning Agent
We specify the query, task specification and an appropriate system prompt.
```python
from swarm_models import OpenAIChat
from swarms import Agent
query = "How do we improve Nike's revenue in Q3 2024?"
task = f"Consider: {query}. Generate just the correct query plan in JSON format."
system_prompt = (
"You are a world class query planning algorithm "
"capable of breaking apart questions into its "
"dependency queries such that the answers can be "
"used to inform the parent question. Do not answer "
"the questions, simply provide a correct compute "
"graph with good specific questions to ask and relevant "
"dependencies. Before you call the function, think "
"step-by-step to get a better understanding of the problem."
)
llm = OpenAIChat(
temperature=0.0, model_name="gpt-4", max_tokens=4000
)
```
Then, we proceed with agent definition.
```python
# Initialize the agent
agent = Agent(
agent_name="Query Planner",
system_prompt=system_prompt,
# Set the tool schema to the JSON string -- this is the key difference
tool_schema=tool_schema,
llm=llm,
max_loops=1,
autosave=True,
dashboard=False,
streaming_on=True,
verbose=True,
interactive=False,
# Set the output type to the tool schema which is a BaseModel
output_type=tool_schema, # or dict, or str
metadata_output_type="json",
# List of schemas that the agent can handle
list_base_models=[tool_schema],
function_calling_format_type="OpenAI",
function_calling_type="json", # or soon yaml
)
```
#### Step 3. Obtaining Outline from Planning Agent
We now run the agent, and since its output is in JSON format, we can load it as a dictionary.
```python
generated_data = agent.run(task)
```
At times the agent could return extra content other than JSON. Below function will filter it out.
```python
def process_json_output(content):
# Find the index of the first occurrence of '```json\n'
start_index = content.find('```json\n')
if start_index == -1:
# If '```json\n' is not found, return the original content
return content
# Return the part of the content after '```json\n' and remove the '```' at the end
return content[start_index + len('```json\n'):].rstrip('`')
# Use the function to clean up the output
json_content = process_json_output(generated_data.content)
import json
# Load the JSON string into a Python object
json_object = json.loads(json_content)
# Convert the Python object back to a JSON string
json_content = json.dumps(json_object, indent=2)
# Print the JSON string
print(json_content)
```
Below is the output this produces
```json
{
"main_query": "How do we improve Nike's revenue in Q3 2024?",
"sub_queries": [
{
"id": "1",
"query": "What is Nike's current revenue trend?"
},
{
"id": "2",
"query": "What are the projected market trends for the sports apparel industry in 2024?"
},
{
"id": "3",
"query": "What are the current successful strategies being used by Nike's competitors?",
"dependencies": [
"2"
]
},
{
"id": "4",
"query": "What are the current and projected economic conditions in Nike's major markets?",
"dependencies": [
"2"
]
},
{
"id": "5",
"query": "What are the current consumer preferences in the sports apparel industry?",
"dependencies": [
"2"
]
},
{
"id": "6",
"query": "What are the potential areas of improvement in Nike's current business model?",
"dependencies": [
"1"
]
},
{
"id": "7",
"query": "What are the potential new markets for Nike to explore in 2024?",
"dependencies": [
"2",
"4"
]
},
{
"id": "8",
"query": "What are the potential new products or services Nike could introduce in 2024?",
"dependencies": [
"5"
]
},
{
"id": "9",
"query": "What are the potential marketing strategies Nike could use to increase its revenue in Q3 2024?",
"dependencies": [
"3",
"5",
"7",
"8"
]
},
{
"id": "10",
"query": "What are the potential cost-saving strategies Nike could implement to increase its net revenue in Q3 2024?",
"dependencies": [
"6"
]
}
]
}
```
The JSON dictionary is not convenient for humans to process. We make a directed graph out of it.
```python
import networkx as nx
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import textwrap
import random
# Create a directed graph
G = nx.DiGraph()
# Define a color map
color_map = {}
# Add nodes and edges to the graph
for sub_query in json_object['sub_queries']:
# Check if 'dependencies' key exists in sub_query, if not, initialize it as an empty list
if 'dependencies' not in sub_query:
sub_query['dependencies'] = []
# Assign a random color for each node
color_map[sub_query['id']] = "#{:06x}".format(random.randint(0, 0xFFFFFF))
G.add_node(sub_query['id'], label=textwrap.fill(sub_query['query'], width=20))
for dependency in sub_query['dependencies']:
G.add_edge(dependency, sub_query['id'])
# Draw the graph
pos = nx.spring_layout(G)
nx.draw(G, pos, with_labels=True, node_size=800, node_color=[color_map[node] for node in G.nodes()], node_shape="o", alpha=0.5, linewidths=40)
# Prepare labels for legend
labels = nx.get_node_attributes(G, 'label')
handles = [plt.Line2D([0], [0], marker='o', color=color_map[node], label=f"{node}: {label}", markersize=10, linestyle='None') for node, label in labels.items()]
# Create a legend
plt.legend(handles=handles, title="Queries", bbox_to_anchor=(1.05, 1), loc='upper left')
plt.show()
```
This produces the below diagram which makes the plan much more convenient to understand.
![Query Plan Diagram](../assets/img/docs/query-plan.png)
### Doing Background Research and Gathering Data
At this point, we have solved the first half of the problem. We have an outline consisting of sub-problems to to tackled to solve our business problem. This will form the overall structure of our report. We now need to research information for each sub-problem in order to write an informed report. This mechanically intensive and is the aspect that will most benefit from Agentic intervention.
Essentially, we can spawn parallel agents to gather the data. Each agent will have 2 tools:
- Internet access
- Financial data retrieval
As they run parallely, they will add their knowledge into a common long-term memory. We will then spawn a separate report writing agent with access to this memory to generate our business case report.
#### Step 4. Defining Tools for Worker Agents
Let us first define the 2 tools.
```python
import os
from typing import List, Dict
from swarms import tool
os.environ['TAVILY_API_KEY'] = os.getenv('TAVILY_API_KEY')
os.environ["KAY_API_KEY"] = os.getenv('KAY_API_KEY')
from langchain_community.tools.tavily_search import TavilySearchResults
from langchain_core.pydantic_v1 import BaseModel, Field
from kay.rag.retrievers import KayRetriever
def browser(query: str) -> str:
"""
Search the query in the browser with the Tavily API tool.
Args:
query (str): The query to search in the browser.
Returns:
str: The search results
"""
internet_search = TavilySearchResults()
results = internet_search.invoke({"query": query})
response = ''
for result in results:
response += (result['content'] + '\n')
return response
def kay_retriever(query: str) -> str:
"""
Search the financial data query with the KayAI API tool.
Args:
query (str): The query to search in the KayRetriever.
Returns:
str: The first context retrieved as a string.
"""
# Initialize the retriever
retriever = KayRetriever(dataset_id = "company", data_types=["10-K", "10-Q", "8-K", "PressRelease"])
# Query the retriever
context = retriever.query(query=query,num_context=1)
return context[0]['chunk_embed_text']
```
#### Step 5. Defining Long-Term Memory
As mentioned previously, the worker agents running parallely, will pool their knowledge into a common memory. Let us define that.
```python
import logging
import os
import uuid
from typing import Callable, List, Optional
import chromadb
import numpy as np
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from swarms.utils.data_to_text import data_to_text
from swarms.utils.markdown_message import display_markdown_message
from swarms_memory import AbstractVectorDatabase
# Results storage using local ChromaDB
class ChromaDB(AbstractVectorDatabase):
"""

Args:
metric (str): The similarity metric to use.
output (str): The name of the collection to store the results in.
limit_tokens (int, optional): The maximum number of tokens to use for the query. Defaults to 1000.
n_results (int, optional): The number of results to retrieve. Defaults to 2.
Methods:
add: _description_
query: _description_
Examples:
>>> chromadb = ChromaDB(
>>> metric="cosine",
>>> output="results",
>>> llm="gpt3",
>>> openai_api_key=OPENAI_API_KEY,
>>> )
>>> chromadb.add(task, result, result_id)
"""
def __init__(
self,

output_dir: str = "swarms",
limit_tokens: Optional[int] = 1000,

):
self.metric = metric
self.output_dir = output_dir
self.limit_tokens = limit_tokens
self.n_results = n_results
self.docs_folder = docs_folder
self.verbose = verbose
# Disable ChromaDB logging
if verbose:
logging.getLogger("chromadb").setLevel(logging.INFO)
# Create Chroma collection
chroma_persist_dir = "chroma"
chroma_client = chromadb.PersistentClient(

self.embedding_function = embedding_function
else:

try:

self.collection.add(

return docs[0]

raise Exception(f"Failed to query documents: {str(e)}")
def traverse_directory(self):
"""

"""
added_to_db = False
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(self.docs_folder):
for file in files:
file = os.path.join(self.docs_folder, file)
_, ext = os.path.splitext(file)
data = data_to_text(file)
added_to_db = self.add([data])
print(f"{file} added to Database")
return added_to_db
```
We can now proceed to initialize the memory.
```python
from chromadb.utils import embedding_functions
default_ef = embedding_functions.DefaultEmbeddingFunction()
memory = ChromaDB(
metric="cosine",
n_results=3,
output_dir="results",
embedding_function=default_ef
)
```
#### Step 6. Defining Worker Agents
The Worker Agent sub-classes the `Agent` class. The only different between these 2 is in how the `run()` method works. In the `Agent` class, `run()` simply returns the set of tool commands to run, but does not execute it. We, however, desire this. In addition, after we run our tools, we get the relevant information as output. We want to add this information to our memory. Hence, to incorporate these 2 changes, we define `WorkerAgent` as follows.
```python
class WorkerAgent(Agent):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
def run(self, task, *args, **kwargs):
response = super().run(task, *args, **kwargs)
print(response.content)
json_dict = json.loads(process_json_output(response.content))
#print(json.dumps(json_dict, indent=2))
if response!=None:
try:
commands = json_dict["commands"]
except:
commands = [json_dict['command']]
for command in commands:
tool_name = command["name"]
if tool_name not in ['browser', 'kay_retriever']:
continue
query = command["args"]["query"]
# Get the tool by its name
tool = globals()[tool_name]
tool_response = tool(query)
# Add tool's output to long term memory
self.long_term_memory.add(tool_response)
```
We can then instantiate an object of the `WorkerAgent` class.
```python
worker_agent = WorkerAgent(
agent_name="Worker Agent",
system_prompt=(
"Autonomous agent that can interact with browser, "
"financial data retriever and other agents. Be Helpful "
"and Kind. Use the tools provided to assist the user. "
"Generate the plan with list of commands in JSON format."
),
llm=OpenAIChat(
temperature=0.0, model_name="gpt-4", max_tokens=4000
),
max_loops="auto",
autosave=True,
dashboard=False,
streaming_on=True,
verbose=True,
stopping_token="<DONE>",
interactive=True,
tools=[browser, kay_retriever],
long_term_memory=memory,
code_interpreter=True,
)
```
#### Step 7. Running the Worker Agents
At this point, we need to setup a concurrent workflow. While the order of adding tasks to the workflow doesn't matter (since they will all run concurrently late when executed), we can take some time to define an order for these tasks. This order will come in handy later when writing the report using our Writer Agent.
The order we will follow is Breadth First Traversal (BFT) of the sub-queries in the graph we had made earlier (shown below again for reference). BFT makes sense to be used here because we want all the dependent parent questions to be answered before answering the child question. Also, since we could have independent subgraphs, we will also perform BFT separately on each subgraph.
![Query Plan Mini](../assets/img/docs/query-plan-mini.png)
Below is the code that produces the order of processing sub-queries.
```python
from collections import deque, defaultdict
# Define the graph nodes
nodes = json_object['sub_queries']
# Create a graph from the nodes
graph = defaultdict(list)
for node in nodes:
for dependency in node['dependencies']:
graph[dependency].append(node['id'])
# Find all nodes with no dependencies (potential starting points)
start_nodes = [node['id'] for node in nodes if not node['dependencies']]
# Adjust the BFT function to handle dependencies correctly
def bft_corrected(start, graph, nodes_info):
visited = set()
queue = deque([start])
order = []
while queue:
node = queue.popleft()
if node not in visited:
# Check if all dependencies of the current node are visited
node_dependencies = [n['id'] for n in nodes if n['id'] == node][0]
dependencies_met = all(dep in visited for dep in nodes_info[node_dependencies]['dependencies'])
if dependencies_met:
visited.add(node)
order.append(node)
# Add only nodes to the queue whose dependencies are fully met
for next_node in graph[node]:
if all(dep in visited for dep in nodes_info[next_node]['dependencies']):
queue.append(next_node)
else:
# Requeue the node to check dependencies later
queue.append(node)
return order
# Dictionary to access node information quickly
nodes_info = {node['id']: node for node in nodes}
# Perform BFT for each unvisited start node using the corrected BFS function
visited_global = set()
bfs_order = []
for start in start_nodes:
if start not in visited_global:
order = bft_corrected(start, graph, nodes_info)
bfs_order.extend(order)
visited_global.update(order)
print("BFT Order:", bfs_order)
```
This produces the following output.
```python
BFT Order: ['1', '6', '10', '2', '3', '4', '5', '7', '8', '9']
```
Now, let's define our `ConcurrentWorkflow` and run it.
```python
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from swarms import Agent, ConcurrentWorkflow, OpenAIChat, Task
# Create a workflow
workflow = ConcurrentWorkflow(max_workers=5)
task_list = []
for node in bfs_order:
sub_query =nodes_info[node]['query']
task = Task(worker_agent, sub_query)
print('-----------------')
print("Added task: ", sub_query)
print('-----------------')
task_list.append(task)
workflow.add(tasks=task_list)
# Run the workflow
workflow.run()
```
Below is part of the output this workflow produces. We clearly see the thought process of the agent and the plan it came up to solve a particular sub-query. In addition, we see the tool-calling schema it produces in `"command"`.
```python
...
...
content='\n{\n "thoughts": {\n "text": "To find out Nike\'s current revenue trend, I will use the financial data retriever tool to search for \'Nike revenue trend\'.",\n "reasoning": "The financial data retriever tool allows me to search for specific financial data, so I can look up the current revenue trend of Nike.", \n "plan": "Use the financial data retriever tool to search for \'Nike revenue trend\'. Parse the result to get the current revenue trend and format that into a readable report."\n },\n "command": {\n "name": "kay_retriever", \n "args": {\n "query": "Nike revenue trend"\n }\n }\n}\n```' response_metadata={'token_usage': {'completion_tokens': 152, 'prompt_tokens': 1527, 'total_tokens': 1679}, 'model_name': 'gpt-4', 'system_fingerprint': None, 'finish_reason': 'stop', 'logprobs': None}
Saved agent state to: Worker Agent_state.json
{
"thoughts": {
"text": "To find out Nike's current revenue trend, I will use the financial data retriever tool to search for 'Nike revenue trend'.",
"reasoning": "The financial data retriever tool allows me to search for specific financial data, so I can look up the current revenue trend of Nike.",
"plan": "Use the financial data retriever tool to search for 'Nike revenue trend'. Parse the result to get the current revenue trend and format that into a readable report."
},
"command": {
"name": "kay_retriever",
"args": {
"query": "Nike revenue trend"
}
}
}
-----------------
Document added successfully
-----------------
...
...
```
Here, `"name"` pertains to the name of the tool to be called and `"args"` is the arguments to be passed to the tool call. Like mentioned before, we modify `Agent`'s default behaviour in `WorkerAgent`. Hence, the tool call is executed here and its results (information from web pages and Kay Retriever API) are added to long-term memory. We get confirmation for this from the message `Document added successfully`.
#### Step 7. Generating the report using Writer Agent
At this point, our Worker Agents have gathered all the background information required to generate the report. We have also defined a coherent structure to write the report, which is following the BFT order to answering the sub-queries. Now it's time to define a Writer Agent and call it sequentially in the order of sub-queries.
```python
from swarms import Agent, OpenAIChat, tool
agent = Agent(
agent_name="Writer Agent",
agent_description=(
"This agent writes reports based on information in long-term memory"
),
system_prompt=(
"You are a world-class financial report writer. "
"Write analytical and accurate responses using memory to answer the query. "
"Do not mention use of long-term memory in the report. "
"Do not mention Writer Agent in response."
"Return only response content in strict markdown format."
),
llm=OpenAIChat(temperature=0.2, model='gpt-3.5-turbo'),
max_loops=1,
autosave=True,
verbose=True,
long_term_memory=memory,
)
```
The report individual sections of the report will be collected in a list.
```python
report = []
```
Let us now run the writer agent.
```python
for node in bfs_order:
sub_query =nodes_info[node]['query']
print("Running task: ", sub_query)
out = agent.run(f"Consider: {sub_query}. Write response in strict markdown format using long-term memory. Do not mention Writer Agent in response.")
print(out)
try:
report.append(out.content)
except:
pass
```
Now, we need to clean up the repoort a bit to make it render professionally.
```python
# Remove any content before the first "#" as that signals start of heading
# Anything before this usually contains filler content
stripped_report = [entry[entry.find('#'):] if '#' in entry else entry for entry in report]
report = stripped_report
# At times the LLM outputs \\n instead of \n
cleaned_report = [entry.replace("\\n", "\n") for entry in report]
import re
# Function to clean up unnecessary metadata from the report entries
def clean_report(report):
cleaned_report = []
for entry in report:
# This pattern matches 'response_metadata={' followed by any characters that are not '}' (non-greedy),
# possibly nested inside other braces, until the closing '}'.
cleaned_entry = re.sub(r"response_metadata=\{[^{}]*(?:\{[^{}]*\}[^{}]*)*\}", "", entry, flags=re.DOTALL)
cleaned_report.append(cleaned_entry)
return cleaned_report
# Apply the cleaning function to the markdown report
cleaned_report = clean_report(cleaned_report)
```
After cleaning, we append parts of the report together to get out final report.
```python
final_report = ' \n '.join(cleaned_report)
```
In Jupyter Notebook, we can use the below code to render it in Markdown.
```python
from IPython.display import display, Markdown
display(Markdown(final_report))
```
## Final Generated Report
### Nike's Current Revenue Trend
Nike's current revenue trend has been steadily increasing over the past few years. In the most recent fiscal year, Nike reported a revenue of $37.4 billion, which was a 7% increase from the previous year. This growth can be attributed to strong sales in key markets, successful marketing campaigns, and a focus on innovation in product development. Overall, Nike continues to demonstrate strong financial performance and is well-positioned for future growth.
### Potential Areas of Improvement in Nike's Business Model
1. **Sustainability Practices**: Nike could further enhance its sustainability efforts by reducing its carbon footprint, using more eco-friendly materials, and ensuring ethical labor practices throughout its supply chain.
2. **Diversification of Product Portfolio**: While Nike is known for its athletic footwear and apparel, diversifying into new product categories or expanding into untapped markets could help drive growth and mitigate risks associated with a single product line.
3. **E-commerce Strategy**: Improving the online shopping experience, investing in digital marketing, and leveraging data analytics to personalize customer interactions could boost online sales and customer loyalty.
4. **Innovation and R&D**: Continuously investing in research and development to stay ahead of competitors, introduce new technologies, and enhance product performance could help maintain Nike's competitive edge in the market.
5. **Brand Image and Reputation**: Strengthening brand image through effective marketing campaigns, community engagement, and transparent communication with stakeholders can help build trust and loyalty among consumers.
### Potential Cost-Saving Strategies for Nike to Increase Net Revenue in Q3 2024

# **Swarms Goals & Milestone Tracking: A Vision for 2024 and Beyond**
As we propel Swarms into a new frontier, weve set ambitious yet achievable goals for the coming years that will solidify Swarms as a leader in multi-agent
orchestration. This document outlines our vision, the goals for 2024 and 2025, and how we track our progress through meticulously designed milestones and metrics.
## **Our Vision: The Agentic Ecosystem**
We envision an ecosystem where agents are pervasive and serve as integral collaborators in business processes, daily life, and complex problem-solving. By leveraging
the collective intelligence of swarms, we believe we can achieve massive gains in productivity, scalability, and impact. Our target is to establish the Swarms platform as the go-to environment for deploying and managing agents at an unprecedented scale—making agents as common and indispensable as mobile apps are today. This future
will see agents integrated into nearly every digital interaction, creating a seamless extension of human capability and reducing the cognitive load on individuals and organizations.
We believe that *agents* will transition from being simple tools to becoming full-fledged partners that can understand user needs, predict outcomes, and adapt to
changes dynamically. Our vision is not just about increasing numbers; its about building a smarter, more interconnected agentic ecosystem where every agent has a purpose and contributes to a collective intelligence that continuously evolves. By cultivating a diverse array of agents capable of handling various specialized tasks, we aim to create an environment in which these digital collaborators function as a cohesive whole—one that can amplify human ingenuity and productivity beyond current limits.
## **Goals for 2024 and 2025**
To achieve our vision, we have laid out a structured growth trajectory for Swarms, driven by clear numerical targets:
1. **End of 2024: 500 Million Agents**
Currently, our platform hosts **45 million agents**. By the end of 2024, our goal is to reach **500 million agents** deployed on Swarms. This means achieving sustained exponential growth, which will require doubling or even tripling the total number of agents roughly **every month** from now until December 2024. Such growth will necessitate not only scaling infrastructure but also improving the ease with which users can develop and deploy agents, expanding educational resources, and fostering a vibrant community that drives innovation in agent design. To achieve this milestone, we plan to invest heavily in making our platform user-friendly, including simplifying onboarding processes and providing extensive educational content. Additionally, we aim to build out our infrastructure to support the necessary scalability and ensure the seamless operation of a growing number of agents. Beyond merely scaling in numbers, we are also focused on increasing the diversity of tasks that agents can perform, thereby enhancing the practical value of deploying agents on Swarms.
2. **End of 2025: 10 Billion+ Agents**
The long-term vision extends further to reach **10 billion agents** by the end of 2025. This ambitious goal reflects not only the organic growth of our user base but
also the increasing role of swarms in business applications, personal projects, and global problem-solving initiatives. This goal requires continuous monthly
doubling of agents and a clear roadmap of user engagement and deployment. By scaling to this level, we envision Swarms as a cornerstone of automation and productivity enhancement, where agents autonomously manage everything from mundane tasks to sophisticated strategic decisions, effectively enhancing human capabilities. This expansion will rely on the development of a robust ecosystem in which users can easily create, share, and enhance agents. We will foster partnerships with industries that can benefit from scalable agentic solutions—spanning healthcare, finance, education, and beyond. Our strategy includes developing domain-specific templates and specialized agents that cater to niche needs, thereby making Swarms an indispensable solution for businesses and individuals alike.
## **Tracking Progress: The Power of Metrics**
Achieving these goals is not just about reaching numerical targets but ensuring that our users are deriving tangible value from Swarms and deploying agents effectively. To measure success, weve defined several key performance indicators (KPIs) and milestones:
### 1. Growth in Agent Deployment
The **number of agents** deployed per month will be our primary growth metric. With our goal of **doubling agent count every month**, this metric serves as an overall health indicator for platform adoption and usage. Growth in deployment indicates that our platform is attracting users who see value in creating and deploying agents to solve diverse challenges.
**Key Milestones:**
- **November 2024**: Surpass 250 million agents.
- **December 2024**: Reach 500 million agents.
- **June 2025**: Break the 5 billion agents mark.
- **December 2025**: Hit 10 billion agents.
To accomplish this, we must continually expand our infrastructure, maintain scalability, and create a seamless user onboarding process. Well ensure that adding agents is frictionless and that our platform can accommodate this rapid growth. By integrating advanced orchestration capabilities, we will enable agents to form more complex collaborations and achieve tasks that previously seemed out of reach. Furthermore, we will develop analytics tools to track the success and efficiency of these agents, giving users real-time feedback to optimize their deployment strategies.
### 2. Agents Deployed Per User: Engagement Indicator
A core belief of Swarms is that agents are here to make life easier for their users—whether its automating mundane tasks, handling complex workflows, or enhancing creative endeavors. Therefore, we measure the **number of agents deployed per user per month** as a key metric for engagement. Tracking this metric allows us to understand how effectively our users are utilizing the platform, and how deeply agents are becoming embedded into their workflows.
This metric ensures that users arent just joining Swarms, but they are actively building and deploying agents to solve real problems. Our milestone for engagement is to see **increasing growth in agents deployed per user** month over month, which indicates a deeper integration of Swarms into daily workflows and business processes. We want our users to view Swarms as their go-to solution for any problem they face, which means ensuring that agents are providing real, tangible benefits.
**Key Milestones:**
- **November 2024**: Achieve an average of 20 agents deployed per user each month.
- **June 2025**: Target 100-200+ agents deployed per user.
To drive these numbers, we plan to improve user support, enhance educational materials, host workshops, and create an environment that empowers users to deploy agents for increasingly complex use-cases. Additionally, we will introduce templates and pre-built agents that users can customize, reducing the barriers to entry and enabling
rapid deployment for new users. We are also developing gamified elements that reward users for deploying more agents and achieving milestones, fostering a competitive and engaging community atmosphere.
### 3. Active vs. Inactive Agents: Measuring Churn
The **number of inactive agents per user** is an essential metric for understanding our **churn rate**. An agent is considered inactive when it remains undeployed or unused for a prolonged period, indicating that its no longer delivering value to the user. Churn metrics provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of our agents and highlight areas where improvements are needed.
We aim to **minimize the number of inactive agents**, as this will be a direct reflection of how well our agents are designed, integrated, and supported. A low churn rate means that users are finding long-term utility in their agents, which is key to our mission. Our platforms success depends on users consistently deploying agents
that remain active and valuable over time.
**Key Milestones:**
- **December 2024**: Ensure that no more than **30%** of deployed agents are inactive.
- **December 2025**: Aim for **10%** or lower, reflecting strong agent usefulness and consistent platform value delivery.
Reducing churn will require proactive measures, such as automated notifications to users about inactive agents, recommending potential uses, and implementing agent retraining features to enhance their adaptability over time. Educating users on prompting engineering, tool engineering, and RAG engineering also helps decrease these numbers as the number of inactive agents is evident that the user is not automating a business operation with that agent. We will also integrate machine learning models to predict agent inactivity and take corrective actions before agents become dormant. By offering personalized recommendations to users on how to enhance or repurpose inactive agents, we hope to ensure that all deployed agents are actively contributing value.
## **Milestones and Success Criteria**
To reach these ambitious goals, we have broken our roadmap down into a series of actionable milestones:
1. **Infrastructure Scalability (Q1 2025)**
We will work on ensuring that our backend infrastructure can handle the scale required to reach 500 million agents by the end of 2024.

# Demo Ideas
* We could also try to create an AI influencer run by a swarm, let it create a whole identity and generate images, memes, and other content for Twitter, Reddit, etc.
* had a thought that we should have either a more general one of these or a swarm or both -- need something connecting all the calendars, events, and initiatives of all the AI communities, langchain, laion, eluther, lesswrong, gato, rob miles, chatgpt hackers, etc etc
* Swarm of AI influencers to spread marketing
* Delegation System to better organize teams: Start with a team of passionate humans and let them self-report their skills/strengths so the agent has a concept of who to delegate to, then feed the agent a huge task list (like the bullet list a few messages above) that it breaks down into actionable steps and "prompts" specific team members to complete tasks. Could even suggest breakout teams of a few people with complementary skills to tackle more complex tasks. There can also be a live board that updates each time a team member completes something, to encourage momentum and keep track of progress

# Swarm Architecture Design Document
## Overview
The goal of the Swarm Architecture is to provide a flexible and scalable system to build swarm intelligence models that can solve complex problems. This document details the proposed design to create a plug-and-play system, which makes it easy to create custom swarms, and provides pre-configured swarms with multi-modal agents.
## Design Principles
- **Modularity**: The system will be built in a modular fashion, allowing various components to be easily swapped or upgraded.
- **Interoperability**: Different swarm classes and components should be able to work together seamlessly.
- **Scalability**: The design should support the growth of the system by adding more components or swarms.
- **Ease of Use**: Users should be able to easily create their own swarms or use pre-configured ones with minimal configuration.
## Design Components
### BaseSwarm
The BaseSwarm is an abstract base class which defines the basic structure of a swarm and the methods that need to be implemented. Any new swarm should inherit from this class and implement the required methods.
### Swarm Classes
Various Swarm classes can be implemented inheriting from the BaseSwarm class. Each swarm class should implement the required methods for initializing the components, worker nodes, and boss node, and running the swarm.
Pre-configured swarm classes with multi-modal agents can be provided for ease of use. These classes come with a default configuration of tools and agents, which can be used out of the box.
### Tools and Agents
Tools and agents are the components that provide the actual functionality to the swarms. They can be language models, AI assistants, vector stores, or any other components that can help in problem solving.
To make the system plug-and-play, a standard interface should be defined for these components. Any new tool or agent should implement this interface, so that it can be easily plugged into the system.
## Usage
Users can either use pre-configured swarms or create their own custom swarms.
To use a pre-configured swarm, they can simply instantiate the corresponding swarm class and call the run method with the required objective.
To create a custom swarm, they need to:
1. Define a new swarm class inheriting from BaseSwarm.
2. Implement the required methods for the new swarm class.
3. Instantiate the swarm class and call the run method.
### Example
```python
# Using pre-configured swarm
swarm = PreConfiguredSwarm(openai_api_key)
swarm.run_swarms(objective)
# Creating custom swarm
class CustomSwarm(BaseSwarm):
# Implement required methods
swarm = CustomSwarm(openai_api_key)
swarm.run_swarms(objective)
```
## Conclusion
This Swarm Architecture design provides a scalable and flexible system for building swarm intelligence models. The plug-and-play design allows users to easily use pre-configured swarms or create their own custom swarms.
# Swarming Architectures
Sure, below are five different swarm architectures with their base requirements and an abstract class that processes these components:
1. **Hierarchical Swarm**: This architecture is characterized by a boss/worker relationship. The boss node takes high-level decisions and delegates tasks to the worker nodes. The worker nodes perform tasks and report back to the boss node.
- Requirements: Boss node (can be a large language model), worker nodes (can be smaller language models), and a task queue for task management.
2. **Homogeneous Swarm**: In this architecture, all nodes in the swarm are identical and contribute equally to problem-solving. Each node has the same capabilities.
- Requirements: Homogeneous nodes (can be language models of the same size), communication protocol for nodes to share information.
3. **Heterogeneous Swarm**: This architecture contains different types of nodes, each with its specific capabilities. This diversity can lead to more robust problem-solving.
- Requirements: Different types of nodes (can be different types and sizes of language models), a communication protocol, and a mechanism to delegate tasks based on node capabilities.
4. **Competitive Swarm**: In this architecture, nodes compete with each other to find the best solution. The system may use a selection process to choose the best solutions.
- Requirements: Nodes (can be language models), a scoring mechanism to evaluate node performance, a selection mechanism.
5. **Cooperative Swarm**: In this architecture, nodes work together and share information to find solutions. The focus is on cooperation rather than competition.
- Requirements: Nodes (can be language models), a communication protocol, a consensus mechanism to agree on solutions.
6. **Grid-based Swarm**: This architecture positions agents on a grid, where they can only interact with their neighbors. This is useful for simulations, especially in fields like ecology or epidemiology.
- Requirements: Agents (can be language models), a grid structure, and a neighborhood definition (i.e., how to identify neighboring agents).
7. **Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) Swarm**: In this architecture, each agent represents a potential solution to an optimization problem. Agents move in the solution space based on their own and their neighbors' past performance. PSO is especially useful for continuous numerical optimization problems.
- Requirements: Agents (each representing a solution), a definition of the solution space, an evaluation function to rate the solutions, a mechanism to adjust agent positions based on performance.
8. **Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) Swarm**: Inspired by ant behavior, this architecture has agents leave a pheromone trail that other agents follow, reinforcing the best paths. It's useful for problems like the traveling salesperson problem.
- Requirements: Agents (can be language models), a representation of the problem space, a pheromone updating mechanism.
9. **Genetic Algorithm (GA) Swarm**: In this architecture, agents represent potential solutions to a problem. They can 'breed' to create new solutions and can undergo 'mutations'. GA swarms are good for search and optimization problems.
- Requirements: Agents (each representing a potential solution), a fitness function to evaluate solutions, a crossover mechanism to breed solutions, and a mutation mechanism.
10. **Stigmergy-based Swarm**: In this architecture, agents communicate indirectly by modifying the environment, and other agents react to such modifications. It's a decentralized method of coordinating tasks.
- Requirements: Agents (can be language models), an environment that agents can modify, a mechanism for agents to perceive environment changes.
These architectures all have unique features and requirements, but they share the need for agents (often implemented as language models) and a mechanism for agents to communicate or interact, whether it's directly through messages, indirectly through the environment, or implicitly through a shared solution space. Some also require specific data structures, like a grid or problem space, and specific algorithms, like for evaluating solutions or updating agent positions.

### FAQ on Swarm Intelligence and Multi-Agent Systems
#### What is an agent in the context of AI and swarm intelligence?
In artificial intelligence (AI), an agent refers to an LLM with some objective to accomplish.
In swarm intelligence, each agent interacts with other agents and possibly the environment to achieve complex collective behaviors or solve problems more efficiently than individual agents could on their own.
#### What do you need Swarms at all?
Individual agents are limited by a vast array of issues such as context window loss, single task execution, hallucination, and no collaboration.
#### How does a swarm work?
A swarm works through the principles of decentralized control, local interactions, and simple rules followed by each agent. Unlike centralized systems, where a single entity dictates the behavior of all components, in a swarm, each agent makes its own decisions based on local information and interactions with nearby agents. These local interactions lead to the emergence of complex, organized behaviors or solutions at the collective level, enabling the swarm to tackle tasks efficiently.
#### Why do you need more agents in a swarm?
More agents in a swarm can enhance its problem-solving capabilities, resilience, and efficiency. With more agents:
- **Diversity and Specialization**: The swarm can leverage a wider range of skills, knowledge, and perspectives, allowing for more creative and effective solutions to complex problems.
- **Scalability**: Adding more agents can increase the swarm's capacity to handle larger tasks or multiple tasks simultaneously.
- **Robustness**: A larger number of agents enhances the system's redundancy and fault tolerance, as the failure of a few agents has a minimal impact on the overall performance of the swarm.
#### Isn't it more expensive to use more agents?
While deploying more agents can initially increase costs, especially in terms of computational resources, hosting, and potentially API usage, there are several factors and strategies that can mitigate these expenses:
- **Efficiency at Scale**: Larger swarms can often solve problems more quickly or effectively, reducing the overall computational time and resources required.
- **Optimization and Caching**: Implementing optimizations and caching strategies can reduce redundant computations, lowering the workload on individual agents and the overall system.
- **Dynamic Scaling**: Utilizing cloud services that offer dynamic scaling can ensure you only pay for the resources you need when you need them, optimizing cost-efficiency.
#### Can swarms make decisions better than individual agents?
Yes, swarms can make better decisions than individual agents for several reasons:
- **Collective Intelligence**: Swarms combine the knowledge and insights of multiple agents, leading to more informed and well-rounded decision-making processes.
- **Error Correction**: The collaborative nature of swarms allows for error checking and correction among agents, reducing the likelihood of mistakes.
- **Adaptability**: Swarms are highly adaptable to changing environments or requirements, as the collective can quickly reorganize or shift strategies based on new information.
#### How do agents in a swarm communicate?
Communication in a swarm can vary based on the design and purpose of the system but generally involves either direct or indirect interactions:
- **Direct Communication**: Agents exchange information directly through messaging, signals, or other communication protocols designed for the system.
- **Indirect Communication**: Agents influence each other through the environment, a method known as stigmergy. Actions by one agent alter the environment, which in turn influences the behavior of other agents.
#### Are swarms only useful in computational tasks?
While swarms are often associated with computational tasks, their applications extend far beyond. Swarms can be utilized in:
- **Robotics**: Coordinating multiple robots for tasks like search and rescue, exploration, or surveillance.
- **Environmental Monitoring**: Using sensor networks to monitor pollution, wildlife, or climate conditions.
- **Social Sciences**: Modeling social behaviors or economic systems to understand complex societal dynamics.
- **Healthcare**: Coordinating care strategies in hospital settings or managing pandemic responses through distributed data analysis.
#### How do you ensure the security of a swarm system?
Security in swarm systems involves:
- **Encryption**: Ensuring all communications between agents are encrypted to prevent unauthorized access or manipulation.
- **Authentication**: Implementing strict authentication mechanisms to verify the identity of each agent in the swarm.
- **Resilience to Attacks**: Designing the swarm to continue functioning effectively even if some agents are compromised or attacked, utilizing redundancy and fault tolerance strategies.
#### How do individual agents within a swarm share insights without direct learning mechanisms like reinforcement learning?
In the context of pre-trained Large Language Models (LLMs) that operate within a swarm, sharing insights typically involves explicit communication and data exchange protocols rather than direct learning mechanisms like reinforcement learning. Here's how it can work:
- **Shared Databases and Knowledge Bases**: Agents can write to and read from a shared database or knowledge base where insights, generated content, and relevant data are stored. This allows agents to benefit from the collective experience of the swarm by accessing information that other agents have contributed.
- **APIs for Information Exchange**: Custom APIs can facilitate the exchange of information between agents. Through these APIs, agents can request specific information or insights from others within the swarm, effectively sharing knowledge without direct learning.
#### How do you balance the autonomy of individual LLMs with the need for coherent collective behavior in a swarm?
Balancing autonomy with collective coherence in a swarm of LLMs involves:
- **Central Coordination Mechanism**: Implementing a lightweight central coordination mechanism that can assign tasks, distribute information, and collect outputs from individual LLMs. This ensures that while each LLM operates autonomously, their actions are aligned with the swarm's overall objectives.
- **Standardized Communication Protocols**: Developing standardized protocols for how LLMs communicate and share information ensures that even though each agent works autonomously, the information exchange remains coherent and aligned with the collective goals.
#### How do LLM swarms adapt to changing environments or tasks without machine learning techniques?
Adaptation in LLM swarms, without relying on machine learning techniques for dynamic learning, can be achieved through:
- **Dynamic Task Allocation**: A central system or distributed algorithm can dynamically allocate tasks to different LLMs based on the changing environment or requirements. This ensures that the most suitable LLMs are addressing tasks for which they are best suited as conditions change.
- **Pre-trained Versatility**: Utilizing a diverse set of pre-trained LLMs with different specialties or training data allows the swarm to select the most appropriate agent for a task as the requirements evolve.
- **In Context Learning**: In context learning is another mechanism that can be employed within LLM swarms to adapt to changing environments or tasks. This approach involves leveraging the collective knowledge and experiences of the swarm to facilitate learning and improve performance. Here's how it can work:
#### Can LLM swarms operate in physical environments, or are they limited to digital spaces?
LLM swarms primarily operate in digital spaces, given their nature as software entities. However, they can interact with physical environments indirectly through interfaces with sensors, actuaries, or other devices connected to the Internet of Things (IoT). For example, LLMs can process data from physical sensors and control devices based on their outputs, enabling applications like smart home management or autonomous vehicle navigation.
#### Without direct learning from each other, how do agents in a swarm improve over time?
Improvement over time in a swarm of pre-trained LLMs, without direct learning from each other, can be achieved through:
- **Human Feedback**: Incorporating feedback from human operators or users can guide adjustments to the usage patterns or selection criteria of LLMs within the swarm, optimizing performance based on observed outcomes.
- **Periodic Re-training and Updating**: The individual LLMs can be periodically re-trained or updated by their developers based on collective insights and feedback from their deployment within swarms. While this does not involve direct learning from each encounter, it allows the LLMs to improve over time based on aggregated experiences.
These adjustments to the FAQ reflect the specific context of pre-trained LLMs operating within a swarm, focusing on communication, coordination, and adaptation mechanisms that align with their capabilities and constraints.
#### Conclusion
Swarms represent a powerful paradigm in AI, offering innovative solutions to complex, dynamic problems through collective intelligence and decentralized control. While challenges exist, particularly regarding cost and security, strategic design and management can leverage the strengths of swarm intelligence to achieve remarkable efficiency, adaptability, and robustness in a wide range of applications.

**The Golden Metric Analysis: The Ultimate UTCS Paradigm for Swarms**
### Introduction
In our ongoing journey to perfect Swarms, understanding how our product fares in the eyes of the end-users is paramount. Enter the User-Task-Completion-Satisfaction (UTCS) rate - our primary metric that gauges how reliably and swiftly Swarms can meet user demands. As we steer Swarms towards achieving a UTCS rate of 95%, understanding this metric's core and how to refine it becomes vital.
### Decoding UTCS: An Analytical Overview
The UTCS rate is not merely about task completion; it's about the comprehensive experience. Therefore, its foundations lie in:
1. **Quality**: Ensuring tasks are executed flawlessly.
2. **Speed**: Delivering results in the shortest possible time.
3. **Reliability**: Consistency in quality and speed across all tasks.
We can represent the UTCS rate with the following equation:
```latex
\[ UTCS Rate = \frac{(Completed Tasks \times User Satisfaction)}{(Total Tasks)} \times 100 \]
```
Where:
- Completed Tasks refer to the number of tasks Swarms executes without errors.
- User Satisfaction is the subjective component, gauged through feedback mechanisms. This could be on a scale of 1-10 (or a percentage).
- Total Tasks refer to all tasks processed by Swarms, regardless of the outcome.
### The Golden Metric: Swarm Efficiency Index (SEI)
However, this basic representation doesn't factor in a critical component: system performance. Thus, we introduce the Swarm Efficiency Index (SEI). The SEI encapsulates not just the UTCS rate but also system metrics like memory consumption, number of tasks, and time taken. By blending these elements, we aim to present a comprehensive view of Swarm's prowess.
Heres the formula:
```latex
\[ SEI = \frac{UTCS Rate}{(Memory Consumption + Time Window + Task Complexity)} \]
```
Where:
- Memory Consumption signifies the system resources used to accomplish tasks.
- Time Window is the timeframe in which the tasks were executed.
- Task Complexity could be a normalized scale that defines how intricate a task is (e.g., 1-5, with 5 being the most complex).
Rationale:
- **Incorporating Memory Consumption**: A system that uses less memory but delivers results is more efficient. By inverting memory consumption in the formula, we emphasize that as memory usage goes down, SEI goes up.
- **Considering Time**: Time is of the essence. The faster the results without compromising quality, the better. By adding the Time Window, we emphasize that reduced task execution time increases the SEI.
- **Factoring in Task Complexity**: Not all tasks are equal. A system that effortlessly completes intricate tasks is more valuable. By integrating task complexity, we can normalize the SEI according to the task's nature.
### Implementing SEI & Improving UTCS
Using feedback from elder-plinius, we can better understand and improve SEI and UTCS:
1. **Feedback Across Skill Levels**: By gathering feedback from users with different skill levels, we can refine our metrics, ensuring Swarms caters to all.
2. **Simplifying Setup**: Detailed guides can help newcomers swiftly get on board, thus enhancing user satisfaction.
3. **Enhancing Workspace and Agent Management**: A clearer view of the Swarm's internal structure, combined with on-the-go adjustments, can improve both the speed and quality of results.
4. **Introducing System Suggestions**: A proactive Swarms that provides real-time insights and recommendations can drastically enhance user satisfaction, thus pushing up the UTCS rate.
### Conclusion
The UTCS rate is undeniably a pivotal metric for Swarms. However, with the introduction of the Swarm Efficiency Index (SEI), we have an opportunity to encapsulate a broader spectrum of performance indicators, leading to a more holistic understanding of Swarms' efficiency. By consistently optimizing for SEI, we can ensure that Swarms not only meets user expectations but also operates at peak system efficiency.

**Research Analysis: Tracking and Ensuring Reliability of Swarm Metrics at Scale**
### 1. Introduction
In our pursuit to optimize the User-Task-Completion-Satisfaction (UTCS) rate and Swarm Efficiency Index (SEI), reliable tracking of these metrics at scale becomes paramount. This research analysis delves into methodologies, technologies, and practices that can be employed to monitor these metrics accurately and efficiently across vast data sets.
### 2. Why Tracking at Scale is Challenging
The primary challenges include:
- **Volume of Data**: As Swarms grows, the data generated multiplies exponentially.
- **Variability of Data**: Diverse user inputs lead to myriad output scenarios.
- **System Heterogeneity**: Different configurations and deployments can yield variable results.
### 3. Strategies for Scalable Tracking
#### 3.1. Distributed Monitoring Systems
**Recommendation**: Implement distributed systems like Prometheus or InfluxDB.
**Rationale**:
- Ability to collect metrics from various Swarm instances concurrently.
- Scalable and can handle vast data influxes.
#### 3.2. Real-time Data Processing
**Recommendation**: Use stream processing systems like Apache Kafka or Apache Flink.
**Rationale**:
- Enables real-time metric calculation.
- Can handle high throughput and low-latency requirements.
#### 3.3. Data Sampling
**Recommendation**: Random or stratified sampling of user sessions.
**Rationale**:
- Reduces the data volume to be processed.
- Maintains representativeness of overall user experience.
### 4. Ensuring Reliability in Data Collection
#### 4.1. Redundancy
**Recommendation**: Integrate redundancy into data collection nodes.
**Rationale**:
- Ensures no single point of failure.
- Data loss prevention in case of system malfunctions.
#### 4.2. Anomaly Detection
**Recommendation**: Implement AI-driven anomaly detection systems.
**Rationale**:
- Identifies outliers or aberrations in metric calculations.
- Ensures consistent and reliable data interpretation.
#### 4.3. Data Validation
**Recommendation**: Establish automated validation checks.
**Rationale**:
- Ensures only accurate and relevant data is considered.
- Eliminates inconsistencies arising from corrupted or irrelevant data.
### 5. Feedback Loops and Continuous Refinement
#### 5.1. User Feedback Integration
**Recommendation**: Develop an in-built user feedback mechanism.
**Rationale**:
- Helps validate the perceived vs. actual performance.
- Allows for continuous refining of tracking metrics and methodologies.
#### 5.2. A/B Testing
**Recommendation**: Regularly conduct A/B tests for new tracking methods or adjustments.
**Rationale**:
- Determines the most effective methods for data collection.
- Validates new tracking techniques against established ones.
### 6. Conclusion
To successfully and reliably track the UTCS rate and SEI at scale, it's essential to combine robust monitoring tools, data processing methodologies, and validation techniques. By doing so, Swarms can ensure that the metrics collected offer a genuine reflection of system performance and user satisfaction. Regular feedback and iterative refinement, rooted in a culture of continuous improvement, will further enhance the accuracy and reliability of these essential metrics.

## Purpose
Artificial Intelligence has grown at an exponential rate over the past decade. Yet, we are far from fully harnessing its potential. Today's AI operates in isolation, each working separately in their corner. But life doesn't work like that. The world doesn't work like that. Success isn't built in silos; it's built in teams.
Imagine a world where AI models work in unison. Where they can collaborate, interact, and pool their collective intelligence to achieve more than any single model could. This is the future we envision. But today, we lack a framework for AI to collaborate effectively, to form a true swarm of intelligent agents.
This is a difficult problem, one that has eluded solution. It requires sophisticated systems that can allow individual models to not just communicate but also understand each other, pool knowledge and resources, and create collective intelligence. This is the next frontier of AI.
But here at Swarms, we have a secret sauce. It's not just a technology or a breakthrough invention. It's a way of thinking - the philosophy of rapid iteration. With each cycle, we make massive progress. We experiment, we learn, and we grow. We have developed a pioneering framework that can enable AI models to work together as a swarm, combining their strengths to create richer, more powerful outputs.
We are uniquely positioned to take on this challenge with 1,500+ devoted researchers in Agora. We have assembled a team of world-class experts, experienced and driven, united by a shared vision. Our commitment to breaking barriers, pushing boundaries, and our belief in the power of collective intelligence makes us the best team to usher in this future to fundamentally advance our species, Humanity.

# Swarm Architectures
Swarms was designed to faciliate the communication between many different and specialized agents from a vast array of other frameworks such as langchain, autogen, crew, and more.
In traditional swarm theory, there are many types of swarms usually for very specialized use-cases and problem sets. Such as Hiearchical and sequential are great for accounting and sales, because there is usually a boss coordinator agent that distributes a workload to other specialized agents.
| **Name** | **Description** | **Code Link** | **Use Cases** |
|-------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Hierarchical Swarms | A system where agents are organized in a hierarchy, with higher-level agents coordinating lower-level agents to achieve complex tasks. | [Code Link](#) | Manufacturing process optimization, multi-level sales management, healthcare resource coordination |
| Agent Rearrange | A setup where agents rearrange themselves dynamically based on the task requirements and environmental conditions. | [Code Link](https://docs.swarms.world/en/latest/swarms/structs/agent_rearrange/) | Adaptive manufacturing lines, dynamic sales territory realignment, flexible healthcare staffing |
| Concurrent Workflows | Agents perform different tasks simultaneously, coordinating to complete a larger goal. | [Code Link](#) | Concurrent production lines, parallel sales operations, simultaneous patient care processes |
| Sequential Coordination | Agents perform tasks in a specific sequence, where the completion of one task triggers the start of the next. | [Code Link](https://docs.swarms.world/en/latest/swarms/structs/sequential_workflow/) | Step-by-step assembly lines, sequential sales processes, stepwise patient treatment workflows |
| Parallel Processing | Agents work on different parts of a task simultaneously to speed up the overall process. | [Code Link](#) | Parallel data processing in manufacturing, simultaneous sales analytics, concurrent medical tests |
### Hierarchical Swarm
**Overview:**
A Hierarchical Swarm architecture organizes the agents in a tree-like structure. Higher-level agents delegate tasks to lower-level agents, which can further divide tasks among themselves. This structure allows for efficient task distribution and scalability.
**Use-Cases:**
- Complex decision-making processes where tasks can be broken down into subtasks.
- Multi-stage workflows such as data processing pipelines or hierarchical reinforcement learning.

B2 --> C3[Sub-Agent 2.1]
B2 --> C4[Sub-Agent 2.2]
```
---
### Parallel Swarm
**Overview:**
In a Parallel Swarm architecture, multiple agents operate independently and simultaneously on different tasks. Each agent works on its own task without dependencies on the others. [Learn more here in the docs:](https://docs.swarms.world/en/latest/swarms/structs/agent_rearrange/)
**Use-Cases:**
- Tasks that can be processed independently, such as parallel data analysis.
- Large-scale simulations where multiple scenarios are run in parallel.

A[Task] --> B1[Sub-Agent 1]
A --> B2[Sub-Agent 2]
A --> B3[Sub-Agent 3]
A --> B4[Sub-Agent 4]
```
---
### Sequential Swarm
**Overview:**
A Sequential Swarm architecture processes tasks in a linear sequence. Each agent completes its task before passing the result to the next agent in the chain. This architecture ensures orderly processing and is useful when tasks have dependencies. [Learn more here in the docs:](https://docs.swarms.world/en/latest/swarms/structs/agent_rearrange/)
**Use-Cases:**
- Workflows where each step depends on the previous one, such as assembly lines or sequential data processing.
- Scenarios requiring strict order of operations.

### Round Robin Swarm
**Overview:**
In a Round Robin Swarm architecture, tasks are distributed cyclically among a set of agents. Each agent takes turns handling tasks in a rotating order, ensuring even distribution of workload.
**Use-Cases:**
- Load balancing in distributed systems.
- Scenarios requiring fair distribution of tasks to avoid overloading any single agent.

## 1. Introduction to LLM Pricing Models
The pricing of Large Language Models (LLMs) is a complex landscape that can significantly impact an enterprise's bottom line. As we dive into this topic, it's crucial to understand the various pricing models employed by LLM providers and how they align with different business needs.
### Pay-per-Token Model
The most common pricing structure in the LLM market is the pay-per-token model. In this system, businesses are charged based on the number of tokens processed by the model. A token can be as short as one character or as long as one word, depending on the language and the specific tokenization method used by the model.
**Advantages:**
- Scalability: Costs scale directly with usage, allowing for flexibility as demand fluctuates.
- Transparency: Easy to track and attribute costs to specific projects or departments.
**Disadvantages:**
- Unpredictability: Costs can vary significantly based on the verbosity of inputs and outputs.
- Potential for overruns: Without proper monitoring, costs can quickly escalate.
### Subscription-Based Models
Some providers offer subscription tiers that provide a set amount of compute resources or tokens for a fixed monthly or annual fee.
**Advantages:**
- Predictable costs: Easier budgeting and financial planning.
- Potential cost savings: Can be more economical for consistent, high-volume usage.
**Disadvantages:**
- Less flexibility: May lead to underutilization or overages.
- Commitment required: Often involves longer-term contracts.
### Custom Enterprise Agreements
For large-scale deployments, providers may offer custom pricing agreements tailored to the specific needs of an enterprise.
**Advantages:**
- Optimized for specific use cases: Can include specialized support, SLAs, and pricing structures.
- Potential for significant cost savings at scale.
**Disadvantages:**
- Complexity: Negotiating and managing these agreements can be resource-intensive.
- Less standardization: Difficult to compare across providers.
### Hybrid Models
Some providers are beginning to offer hybrid models that combine elements of pay-per-token and subscription-based pricing.
**Advantages:**
- Flexibility: Can adapt to varying usage patterns.
- Risk mitigation: Balances the benefits of both main pricing models.
**Disadvantages:**
- Complexity: Can be more challenging to understand and manage.
- Potential for suboptimal pricing if not carefully structured.
As we progress through this guide, we'll explore how these pricing models interact with various business considerations and how executives can leverage this understanding to make informed decisions.
## 2. Understanding Unit Economics in LLM Deployment
To make informed decisions about LLM deployment, executives must have a clear grasp of the unit economics involved. This section breaks down the components that contribute to the cost per unit of LLM usage and how they impact overall business economics.
### Defining the Unit
In the context of LLMs, a "unit" can be defined in several ways:
1. **Per Token**: The most granular unit, often used in pricing models.
2. **Per Request**: A single API call to the LLM, which may process multiple tokens.
3. **Per Task**: A complete operation, such as generating a summary or answering a question, which may involve multiple requests.
4. **Per User Interaction**: In customer-facing applications, this could be an entire conversation or session.
Understanding which unit is most relevant to your use case is crucial for accurate economic analysis.
### Components of Unit Cost
1. **Direct LLM Costs**
- Token processing fees
- API call charges
- Data transfer costs
2. **Indirect Costs**
- Compute resources for pre/post-processing
- Storage for inputs, outputs, and fine-tuning data
- Networking costs
3. **Operational Costs**
- Monitoring and management tools
- Integration and maintenance engineering time
- Customer support related to AI functions
4. **Overhead**
- Legal and compliance costs
- Training and documentation
- Risk management and insurance
### Calculating Unit Economics
To calculate the true unit economics, follow these steps:
1. **Determine Total Costs**: Sum all direct, indirect, operational, and overhead costs over a fixed period (e.g., monthly).
2. **Measure Total Units**: Track the total number of relevant units processed in the same period.
3. **Calculate Cost per Unit**: Divide total costs by total units.
```
Cost per Unit = Total Costs / Total Units
```
4. **Analyze Revenue per Unit**: If the LLM is part of a revenue-generating product, calculate the revenue attributed to each unit.
5. **Determine Profit per Unit**: Subtract the cost per unit from the revenue per unit.
```
Profit per Unit = Revenue per Unit - Cost per Unit
```
### Example Calculation
Let's consider a hypothetical customer service AI chatbot:
- Monthly LLM API costs: $10,000
- Indirect and operational costs: $5,000
- Total monthly interactions: 100,000
```
Cost per Interaction = ($10,000 + $5,000) / 100,000 = $0.15
```
If each interaction generates an average of $0.50 in value (through cost savings or revenue):
```
Profit per Interaction = $0.50 - $0.15 = $0.35
```
### Economies of Scale
As usage increases, unit economics often improve due to:
- Volume discounts from LLM providers
- Amortization of fixed costs over more units
- Efficiency gains through learning and optimization
However, it's crucial to model how these economies of scale manifest in your specific use case, as they may plateau or even reverse at very high volumes due to increased complexity and support needs.
### Diseconomies of Scale
Conversely, be aware of potential diseconomies of scale:
- Increased complexity in managing large-scale deployments
- Higher costs for specialized talent as operations grow
- Potential for diminishing returns on very large language models
By thoroughly understanding these unit economics, executives can make more informed decisions about which LLM provider and pricing model best aligns with their business objectives and scale.
## 3. Profit Margins and Cost Structures
Understanding profit margins and cost structures is crucial for executives evaluating LLM integration. This section explores how different pricing models and operational strategies can impact overall profitability.
### Components of Profit Margin
1. **Gross Margin**: The difference between revenue and the direct costs of LLM usage.
```
Gross Margin = Revenue - Direct LLM Costs
Gross Margin % = (Gross Margin / Revenue) * 100
```
2. **Contribution Margin**: Gross margin minus variable operational costs.
```
Contribution Margin = Gross Margin - Variable Operational Costs
```
3. **Net Margin**: The final profit after all costs, including fixed overheads.
```
Net Margin = Contribution Margin - Fixed Costs
Net Margin % = (Net Margin / Revenue) * 100
```
### Cost Structures in LLM Deployment
1. **Fixed Costs**
- Subscription fees for LLM access (if using a subscription model)
- Base infrastructure costs
- Core team salaries
- Licensing fees for essential software
2. **Variable Costs**
- Per-token or per-request charges
- Scaling infrastructure costs
- Usage-based API fees
- Performance-based team bonuses
3. **Step Costs**
- Costs that increase in chunks as usage scales
- Examples: Adding new server clusters, hiring additional support staff
### Analyzing Profit Margins Across Different Pricing Models
Let's compare how different LLM pricing models might affect profit margins for a hypothetical AI-powered writing assistant service:
**Scenario**: The service charges users $20/month and expects to process an average of 100,000 tokens per user per month.
1. **Pay-per-Token Model**
- LLM cost: $0.06 per 1,000 tokens
- Monthly LLM cost per user: $6
- Gross margin per user: $14 (70%)
2. **Subscription Model**
- Fixed monthly fee: $5,000 for up to 10 million tokens
- At 1,000 users: $5 per user
- Gross margin per user: $15 (75%)
3. **Hybrid Model**
- Base fee: $2,000 per month
- Reduced per-token rate: $0.04 per 1,000 tokens
- Monthly LLM cost per user: $6 ($2 base + $4 usage)
- Gross margin per user: $14 (70%)
### Strategies for Improving Profit Margins
1. **Optimize Token Usage**
- Implement efficient prompting techniques
- Cache common responses
- Use compression algorithms for inputs and outputs
2. **Leverage Economies of Scale**
- Negotiate better rates at higher volumes
- Spread fixed costs across a larger user base
3. **Implement Tiered Pricing**
- Offer different service levels to capture more value from power users
- Example: Basic ($10/month, 50K tokens), Pro ($30/month, 200K tokens)
4. **Vertical Integration**
- Invest in proprietary LLM development for core functionalities
- Reduce dependency on third-party providers for critical operations
5. **Smart Caching and Pre-computation**

- When a task is initiated, agents first analyze the task's requirements.
- The system maintains an understanding of each task's complexity, requirements, and potential challenges.
### 2. Automated Resolution Attempt
- Agents first attempt to resolve the task autonomously using their algorithms and data.
- If the task can be completed without issues, it progresses normally.
### 3. Challenge Detection
- If agents encounter challenges or uncertainties they cannot resolve, the "Human-in-the-Loop" protocol is triggered.
### 4. Human Collaborator Identification
- The system maintains a dynamic profile of each human collaborator, cataloging their skills, expertise, and past performance on related tasks.
- Using this profile data, the system identifies the most capable human collaborator to assist with the current challenge.
### 5. Real-time Collaboration
- The identified human collaborator is notified and provided with all the relevant information about the task and the challenge.
- Collaborators can provide guidance, make decisions, or even take over specific portions of the task.
### 6. Task Completion & Feedback Loop
- Once the challenge is resolved, agents continue with the task until completion.
- Feedback from human collaborators is used to update agent algorithms, ensuring continuous learning and improvement.
## Best Practices
1. **Maintain Up-to-date Human Profiles**: Ensure that the skillsets, expertise, and performance metrics of human collaborators are updated regularly.
2. **Limit Interruptions**: Implement mechanisms to limit the frequency of human interventions, ensuring collaborators are not overwhelmed with requests.
3. **Provide Context**: When seeking human intervention, provide collaborators with comprehensive context to ensure they can make informed decisions.
4. **Continuous Training**: Regularly update and train agents based on feedback from human collaborators.
5. **Measure & Optimize**: Monitor the efficiency of the "Human-in-the-Loop" protocol, aiming to reduce the frequency of interventions while maximizing the value of each intervention.

The Swarms Multi-Agent Framework prioritizes the security and integrity of data, especially personal and sensitive information. Our Secure Communication Protocols ensure that all communications between agents are encrypted, authenticated, and resistant to tampering or unauthorized access.
## Features
### 1. End-to-End Encryption
- All inter-agent communications are encrypted using state-of-the-art cryptographic algorithms.
- This ensures that data remains confidential and can only be read by the intended recipient agent.
### 2. Authentication
- Before initiating communication, agents authenticate each other using digital certificates.
- This prevents impersonation attacks and ensures that agents are communicating with legitimate counterparts.
### 3. Forward Secrecy
- Key exchange mechanisms employ forward secrecy, meaning that even if a malicious actor gains access to an encryption key, they cannot decrypt past communications.
### 4. Data Integrity
- Cryptographic hashes ensure that the data has not been altered in transit.
- Any discrepancies in data integrity result in the communication being rejected.
### 5. Zero-Knowledge Protocols
- When handling especially sensitive data, agents use zero-knowledge proofs to validate information without revealing the actual data.
### 6. Periodic Key Rotation
- To mitigate the risk of long-term key exposure, encryption keys are periodically rotated.
- Old keys are securely discarded, ensuring that even if they are compromised, they cannot be used to decrypt communications.
## Best Practices for Handling Personal and Sensitive Information
1. **Data Minimization**: Agents should only request and process the minimum amount of personal data necessary for the task.
2. **Anonymization**: Whenever possible, agents should anonymize personal data, stripping away identifying details.
3. **Data Retention Policies**: Personal data should be retained only for the period necessary to complete the task, after which it should be securely deleted.
4. **Access Controls**: Ensure that only authorized agents have access to personal and sensitive information. Implement strict access control mechanisms.
5. **Regular Audits**: Conduct regular security audits to ensure compliance with privacy regulations and to detect any potential vulnerabilities.
6. **Training**: All agents should be regularly updated and trained on the latest security protocols and best practices for handling sensitive data.
## Conclusion
Secure communication is paramount in the Swarms Multi-Agent Framework, especially when dealing with personal and sensitive information. Adhering to these protocols and best practices ensures the safety, privacy, and trust of all stakeholders involved.

# Shorthand Communication System
## Swarms Multi-Agent Framework
**The Enhanced Shorthand Communication System is designed to streamline agent-agent communication within the Swarms Multi-Agent Framework. This system employs concise alphanumeric notations to relay task-specific details to agents efficiently.**
---
## Format:
The shorthand format is structured as `[AgentType]-[TaskLayer].[TaskNumber]-[Priority]-[Status]`.
---
## Components:
### 1. Agent Type:
- Denotes the specific agent role, such as:
* `C`: Code agent
* `D`: Data processing agent
* `M`: Monitoring agent
* `N`: Network agent
* `R`: Resource management agent
* `I`: Interface agent
* `S`: Security agent
### 2. Task Layer & Number:
- Represents the task's category.
* Example: `1.8` signifies Task layer 1, task number 8.
### 3. Priority:
- Indicates task urgency.
* `H`: High
* `M`: Medium
* `L`: Low
### 4. Status:
- Gives a snapshot of the task's progress.
* `I`: Initialized
* `P`: In-progress
* `C`: Completed
* `F`: Failed
* `W`: Waiting
---
## Extended Features:
### 1. Error Codes (for failures):
- `E01`: Resource issues
- `E02`: Data inconsistency
- `E03`: Dependency malfunction
... and more as needed.
### 2. Collaboration Flag:
- `+`: Denotes required collaboration.
---
## Example Codes:
- `C-1.8-H-I`: A high-priority coding task that's initializing.
- `D-2.3-M-P`: A medium-priority data task currently in-progress.
- `M-3.5-L-P+`: A low-priority monitoring task in progress needing collaboration.

# swarms.agents
## 1. Introduction
`AbstractAgent` is an abstract class that serves as a foundation for implementing AI agents. An agent is an entity that can communicate with other agents and perform actions. The `AbstractAgent` class allows for customization in the implementation of the `receive` method, enabling different agents to define unique actions for receiving and processing messages.
`AbstractAgent` provides capabilities for managing tools and accessing memory, and has methods for running, chatting, and stepping through communication with other agents.
## 2. Class Definition
```python
class AbstractAgent:
"""An abstract class for AI agent.
An agent can communicate with other agents and perform actions.
Different agents can differ in what actions they perform in the `receive` method.
Agents are full and completed:
Agents = llm + tools + memory
"""
def __init__(self, name: str):
"""
Args:
name (str): name of the agent.
"""
self._name = name
@property
def name(self):
"""Get the name of the agent."""
return self._name
def tools(self, tools):
"""init tools"""
def memory(self, memory_store):
"""init memory"""
def reset(self):
"""(Abstract method) Reset the agent."""
def run(self, task: str):
"""Run the agent once"""
def _arun(self, taks: str):
"""Run Async run"""
def chat(self, messages: List[Dict]):
"""Chat with the agent"""
def _achat(self, messages: List[Dict]):
"""Asynchronous Chat"""
def step(self, message: str):
"""Step through the agent"""
def _astep(self, message: str):
"""Asynchronous step"""
```
## 3. Functionality and Usage
The `AbstractAgent` class represents a generic AI agent and provides a set of methods to interact with it.
To create an instance of an agent, the `name` of the agent should be specified.
### Core Methods
#### 1. `reset`
The `reset` method allows the agent to be reset to its initial state.
```python
agent.reset()
```
#### 2. `run`
The `run` method allows the agent to perform a specific task.
```python
agent.run("some_task")
```
#### 3. `chat`
The `chat` method enables communication with the agent through a series of messages.
```python
messages = [{"id": 1, "text": "Hello, agent!"}, {"id": 2, "text": "How are you?"}]
agent.chat(messages)
```
#### 4. `step`
The `step` method allows the agent to process a single message.
```python
agent.step("Hello, agent!")
```
### Asynchronous Methods
The class also provides asynchronous variants of the core methods.
### Additional Functionality
Additional functionalities for agent initialization and management of tools and memory are also provided.
```python
agent.tools(some_tools)
agent.memory(some_memory_store)
```
## 4. Additional Information and Tips
When implementing a new agent using the `AbstractAgent` class, ensure that the `receive` method is overridden to define the specific behavior of the agent upon receiving messages.
## 5. References and Resources
For further exploration and understanding of AI agents and agent communication, refer to the relevant literature and research on this topic.

agents = create_agents_from_yaml(yaml_file, return_type="agents")
for agent in agents:
print(f"Agent {agent.agent_name} created.")
```
### Example 2: Creating Agents and Returning Task Results
```python
from swarms import create_agents_from_yaml
yaml_file = 'agents_config.yaml'
task_results = create_agents_from_yaml(yaml_file, return_type="tasks")
for result in task_results:
print(f"Agent {result['agent_name']} executed task '{result['task']}': {result['output']}")
```
### Example 3: Returning Both Agents and Task Results
```python
from swarms import create_agents_from_yaml
yaml_file = 'agents_config.yaml'
agents, task_results = create_agents_from_yaml(yaml_file, return_type="both")
# Handling agents
for agent in agents:
print(f"Agent {agent.agent_name} created.")
# Handling task results
for result in task_results:
print(f"Agent {result['agent_name']} executed task '{result['task']}': {result['output']}")
```
---
# Error Handling
### Common Errors:
1. **Missing API Key**:
- Error: `API key is missing for agent: <agent_name>`
- Cause: The API key is either not provided in the YAML or not available as an environment variable.
- Solution: Ensure the API key is either defined in the YAML configuration or set as an environment variable.
2. **Missing System Prompt**:
- Error: `System prompt is missing for agent: <agent_name>`
- Cause: The `system_prompt` field is not defined in the YAML configuration.
- Solution: Define the system prompt field for each agent.
3. **Invalid `return_type`**:
- Error: `Invalid return_type: <return_type>`
- Cause: The `return_type` provided is not one of `"agents"`, `"tasks"`, or `"both"`.
- Solution: Ensure that `return_type` is set to one of the valid options.
### Logging:
- The function integrates `loguru` logging to track all key actions:
- File loading, agent creation, task execution, and errors are all logged.
- Use this logging output to monitor operations and diagnose issues in production environments.
---
# Scalability and Extensibility
### Scalability:

# **Swarms External Agent Integration**
Integrating external agents from other frameworks like **Langchain**, **Griptape**, and more is straightforward using **Swarms**. Below are step-by-step guides on how to bring these agents into Swarms by creating a new class, implementing the required methods, and ensuring compatibility.
---
## **Quick Overview**
- **Step 1**: Create a new class that inherits the `Agent` class from Swarms.
- **Step 2**: Override the `.run(task: str) -> str` method that will execute the agent and return a string response.
- **Step 3**: Optionally, add methods to save outputs to other formats like JSON, logs, or databases.
### **Agent Class**
The primary structure you'll need to integrate any external agent is the `Agent` class from **Swarms**. Heres a template for how your new agent class should be structured:
```python
from swarms import Agent
class ExternalAgent(Agent):
def run(self, task: str) -> str:
# Implement logic to run external agent
pass
def save_to_json(self, output: str, filepath: str):
# Optionally save the result to a JSON file
with open(filepath, "w") as file:
json.dump({"response": output}, file)
```
---
## **Griptape Agent Integration Example**
In this example, we will create a **Griptape** agent by inheriting from the Swarms `Agent` class and implementing the `run` method.
### **Griptape Integration Steps**:
1. **Inherit from Swarms Agent**: Inherit from the `SwarmsAgent` class.
2. **Create Griptape Agent**: Initialize the **Griptape** agent inside your class and provide it with the necessary tools.
3. **Override the `run()` method**: Implement logic to process a task string and execute the Griptape agent.
## **Griptape Example Code**:
```python
from swarms import (
Agent as SwarmsAgent,
) # Import the base Agent class from Swarms
from griptape.structures import Agent as GriptapeAgent
from griptape.tools import (
WebScraperTool,
FileManagerTool,
PromptSummaryTool,
)
# Create a custom agent class that inherits from SwarmsAgent
class GriptapeSwarmsAgent(SwarmsAgent):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
# Initialize the Griptape agent with its tools
self.agent = GriptapeAgent(
input="Load {{ args[0] }}, summarize it, and store it in a file called {{ args[1] }}.",
tools=[
WebScraperTool(off_prompt=True),
PromptSummaryTool(off_prompt=True),
FileManagerTool(),
],
*args,
**kwargs,
)
# Override the run method to take a task and execute it using the Griptape agent
def run(self, task: str) -> str:
# Extract URL and filename from task
url, filename = task.split(",") # Example task string: "https://example.com, output.txt"
# Execute the Griptape agent
result = self.agent.run(url.strip(), filename.strip())
# Return the final result as a string
return str(result)
# Example usage:
griptape_swarms_agent = GriptapeSwarmsAgent()
output = griptape_swarms_agent.run("https://griptape.ai, griptape.txt")
print(output)
```
### **Explanation**:
1. **GriptapeSwarmsAgent**: The custom class that integrates **Griptape** into **Swarms**.
2. **run(task: str)**: This method extracts inputs from the task string and runs the agent using **Griptape** tools.
3. **Tools**: The **Griptape** agent is equipped with web scraping, summarization, and file management tools.
## **Additional Features**:
You can enhance your external agents with additional features such as:
- **Saving outputs** to JSON, databases, or logs.
- **Handling errors** and retry mechanisms for robustness.
- **Custom logging** with tools like **Loguru** for extensive debugging.
---
## **Langchain Agent Integration Example**
Next, we demonstrate how to integrate a **Langchain** agent with **Swarms** by following similar steps.
### **Langchain Integration Steps**:
1. **Inherit from Swarms Agent**: Inherit from the `SwarmsAgent` class.
2. **Create Langchain Agent**: Initialize a Langchain agent with the necessary components (like language models or memory modules).
3. **Override the `run()` method**: Pass tasks to the Langchain agent and return the response.
## **Langchain Example Code**:
```python
from swarms import Agent as SwarmsAgent
from langchain import LLMChain
from langchain.llms import OpenAI
from langchain.prompts import PromptTemplate
# Create a custom agent class that inherits from SwarmsAgent
class LangchainSwarmsAgent(SwarmsAgent):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
# Initialize the Langchain agent with LLM and prompt
prompt_template = PromptTemplate(template="Answer the question: {question}")
llm = OpenAI(model="gpt-3.5-turbo")
self.chain = LLMChain(llm=llm, prompt=prompt_template)
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
# Override the run method to take a task and execute it using the Langchain agent
def run(self, task: str) -> str:
# Pass the task to the Langchain agent
result = self.chain.run({"question": task})
# Return the final result as a string
return result
# Example usage:
langchain_swarms_agent = LangchainSwarmsAgent()
output = langchain_swarms_agent.run("What is the capital of France?")
print(output)
```
### **Explanation**:
1. **LangchainSwarmsAgent**: The custom class integrates **Langchain** into **Swarms**.

# The Module/Class Name: Message
In the swarms.agents framework, the class `Message` is used to represent a message with timestamp and optional metadata.
## Overview and Introduction
The `Message` class is a fundamental component that enables the representation of messages within an agent system. Messages contain essential information such as the sender, content, timestamp, and optional metadata.
## Class Definition
### Constructor: `__init__`
The constructor of the `Message` class takes three parameters:
1. `sender` (str): The sender of the message.
2. `content` (str): The content of the message.
3. `metadata` (dict or None): Optional metadata associated with the message.
### Methods
1. `__repr__(self)`: Returns a string representation of the `Message` object, including the timestamp, sender, and content.
```python
class Message:
"""
Represents a message with timestamp and optional metadata.
Usage
--------------
mes = Message(
sender = "Kye",
content = "message"
)
print(mes)
"""
def __init__(self, sender, content, metadata=None):
self.timestamp = datetime.datetime.now()
self.sender = sender
self.content = content
self.metadata = metadata or {}
def __repr__(self):
"""
__repr__ represents the string representation of the Message object.
Returns:
(str) A string containing the timestamp, sender, and content of the message.
"""
return f"{self.timestamp} - {self.sender}: {self.content}"
```
## Functionality and Usage
The `Message` class represents a message in the agent system. Upon initialization, the `timestamp` is set to the current date and time, and the `metadata` is set to an empty dictionary if no metadata is provided.
### Usage Example 1
Creating a `Message` object and displaying its string representation.
```python
mes = Message(sender="Kye", content="Hello! How are you?")
print(mes)
```
Output:
```
2023-09-20 13:45:00 - Kye: Hello! How are you?
```
### Usage Example 2
Creating a `Message` object with metadata.
```python
metadata = {"priority": "high", "category": "urgent"}
mes_with_metadata = Message(
sender="Alice", content="Important update", metadata=metadata
)
print(mes_with_metadata)
```
Output:
```
2023-09-20 13:46:00 - Alice: Important update
```
### Usage Example 3
Creating a `Message` object without providing metadata.
```python
mes_no_metadata = Message(sender="Bob", content="Reminder: Meeting at 2PM")
print(mes_no_metadata)
```
Output:
```
2023-09-20 13:47:00 - Bob: Reminder: Meeting at 2PM
```
## Additional Information and Tips
When creating a new `Message` object, ensure that the required parameters `sender` and `content` are provided. The `timestamp` will automatically be assigned the current date and time. Optional `metadata` can be included to provide additional context or information associated with the message.
## References and Resources
For further information on the `Message` class and its usage, refer to the official swarms.agents documentation and relevant tutorials related to message handling and communication within the agent system.

## 1. Introduction to the Swarms Framework
The swarms framework is a powerful and flexible system designed to facilitate the creation, management, and coordination of multiple AI agents. It provides a standardized interface for working with various agent types, allowing developers to leverage the strengths of different agent libraries while maintaining a consistent programming model.
At its core, the swarms framework is built around the concept of a parent `Agent` class, which serves as a foundation for creating custom agents and integrating third-party agent libraries. This approach offers several benefits:
1. **Consistency**: By wrapping different agent implementations with a common interface, developers can work with a unified API across various agent types.
2. **Extensibility**: The framework makes it easy to add new agent types or customize existing ones without affecting the overall system architecture.
3. **Interoperability**: Agents from different libraries can communicate and collaborate seamlessly within the swarms ecosystem.
4. **Scalability**: The standardized approach allows for easier scaling of agent-based systems, from simple single-agent applications to complex multi-agent swarms.
## 2. The Need for Wrappers
As the field of AI and agent-based systems continues to grow, numerous libraries and frameworks have emerged, each with its own strengths and specialized features. While this diversity offers developers a wide range of tools to choose from, it also presents challenges in terms of integration and interoperability.
This is where the concept of wrappers becomes crucial. By creating wrappers around different agent libraries, we can:
1. **Unify interfaces**: Standardize the way we interact with agents, regardless of their underlying implementation.
2. **Simplify integration**: Make it easier to incorporate new agent libraries into existing projects.
3. **Enable composition**: Allow for the creation of complex agent systems that leverage the strengths of multiple libraries.
4. **Facilitate maintenance**: Centralize the management of agent-related code and reduce the impact of library-specific changes.
In the context of the swarms framework, wrappers take the form of custom classes that inherit from the parent `Agent` class. These wrapper classes encapsulate the functionality of specific agent libraries while exposing a consistent interface that aligns with the swarms framework.
## 3. Building Custom Agents with Swarms
To illustrate the process of building custom agents using the swarms framework, let's start with a basic example of creating a custom agent class:
```python
from swarms import Agent
class MyCustomAgent(Agent):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
# Custom initialization logic
def custom_method(self, *args, **kwargs):
# Implement custom logic here
pass
def run(self, task, *args, **kwargs):
# Customize the run method
response = super().run(task, *args, **kwargs)
# Additional custom logic
return response
```
This example demonstrates the fundamental structure of a custom agent class within the swarms framework. Let's break down the key components:
1. **Inheritance**: The class inherits from the `Agent` parent class, ensuring it adheres to the swarms framework's interface.
2. **Initialization**: The `__init__` method calls the parent class's initializer and can include additional custom initialization logic.
3. **Custom methods**: You can add any number of custom methods to extend the agent's functionality.
4. **Run method**: The `run` method is a key component of the agent interface. By overriding this method, you can customize how the agent processes tasks while still leveraging the parent class's functionality.
To create more sophisticated custom agents, you can expand on this basic structure by adding features such as:
- **State management**: Implement methods to manage the agent's internal state.
- **Communication protocols**: Define how the agent interacts with other agents in the swarm.
- **Learning capabilities**: Incorporate machine learning models or adaptive behaviors.
- **Specialized task handling**: Create methods for dealing with specific types of tasks or domains.
By leveraging these custom agent classes, developers can create highly specialized and adaptive agents tailored to their specific use cases while still benefiting from the standardized interface provided by the swarms framework.
## 4. Integrating Third-Party Agent Libraries
One of the key strengths of the swarms framework is its ability to integrate with various third-party agent libraries. In this section, we'll explore how to create wrappers for popular agent libraries, including Griptape, Langchain, CrewAI, and Autogen.
### Griptape Integration
Griptape is a powerful library for building AI agents with a focus on composability and tool use. Let's create a wrapper for a Griptape agent:
```python
from typing import List, Optional
from griptape.structures import Agent as GriptapeAgent
from griptape.tools import FileManager, TaskMemoryClient, WebScraper
from swarms import Agent
class GriptapeAgentWrapper(Agent):
"""
A wrapper class for the GriptapeAgent from the griptape library.
"""
def __init__(self, name: str, tools: Optional[List] = None, *args, **kwargs):
"""
Initialize the GriptapeAgentWrapper.
Parameters:
- name: The name of the agent.
- tools: A list of tools to be used by the agent. If not provided, default tools will be used.
- *args, **kwargs: Additional arguments to be passed to the parent class constructor.
"""
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.name = name
self.tools = tools or [
WebScraper(off_prompt=True),
TaskMemoryClient(off_prompt=True),
FileManager()
]
self.griptape_agent = GriptapeAgent(
input=f"I am {name}, an AI assistant. How can I help you?",
tools=self.tools
)
def run(self, task: str, *args, **kwargs) -> str:
"""
Run a task using the GriptapeAgent.
Parameters:
- task: The task to be performed by the agent.
Returns:
- The response from the GriptapeAgent as a string.
"""
response = self.griptape_agent.run(task, *args, **kwargs)
return str(response)
def add_tool(self, tool) -> None:
"""
Add a tool to the agent.
Parameters:
- tool: The tool to be added.
"""
self.tools.append(tool)
self.griptape_agent = GriptapeAgent(
input=f"I am {self.name}, an AI assistant. How can I help you?",
tools=self.tools
)
# Usage example
griptape_wrapper = GriptapeAgentWrapper("GriptapeAssistant")
result = griptape_wrapper.run("Load https://example.com, summarize it, and store it in a file called example_summary.txt.")
print(result)
```
This wrapper encapsulates the functionality of a Griptape agent while exposing it through the swarms framework's interface. It allows for easy customization of tools and provides a simple way to execute tasks using the Griptape agent.
### Langchain Integration
Langchain is a popular framework for developing applications powered by language models. Here's an example of how we can create a wrapper for a Langchain agent:
```python

Args:
name (str): The name of the agent.
tools (List[Tool]): The list of tools available to the agent.
llm (Optional[OpenAI], optional): The OpenAI language model to use. Defaults to None.
"""
def __init__(
self,
name: str,
tools: List[Tool],
llm: Optional[OpenAI] = None,
*args,
**kwargs,
):
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.name = name
self.tools = tools
self.llm = llm or OpenAI(temperature=0)
prompt = StringPromptTemplate.from_template(
"You are {name}, an AI assistant. Answer the following question: {question}"
)
llm_chain = LLMChain(llm=self.llm, prompt=prompt)
tool_names = [tool.name for tool in self.tools]
self.agent = LLMSingleActionAgent(
llm_chain=llm_chain,
output_parser=None,
stop=["\nObservation:"],
allowed_tools=tool_names,
)
self.agent_executor = AgentExecutor.from_agent_and_tools(
agent=self.agent, tools=self.tools, verbose=True
)
def run(self, task: str, *args, **kwargs):
"""
Run the agent with the given task.
Args:
task (str): The task to be performed by the agent.
Returns:
Any: The result of the agent's execution.
"""
try:
return self.agent_executor.run(task)
except Exception as e:
print(f"An error occurred: {e}")
# Usage example
search_tool = DuckDuckGoSearchRun()
tools = [
Tool(
name="Search",
func=search_tool.run,
description="Useful for searching the internet",
)
]
langchain_wrapper = LangchainAgentWrapper("LangchainAssistant", tools)
result = langchain_wrapper.run("What is the capital of France?")
print(result)
```
This wrapper integrates a Langchain agent into the swarms framework, allowing for easy use of Langchain's powerful features such as tool use and multi-step reasoning.
### CrewAI Integration
CrewAI is a library focused on creating and managing teams of AI agents. Let's create a wrapper for a CrewAI agent:

from crewai import Task, Crew, Process
class CrewAIAgentWrapper(Agent):
def __init__(self, name, role, goal, backstory, tools=None, *args, **kwargs):
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.name = name
self.crewai_agent = CrewAIAgent(
role=role,
goal=goal,
backstory=backstory,
verbose=True,
allow_delegation=False,
tools=tools or []
)
def run(self, task, *args, **kwargs):
crew_task = Task(
description=task,
agent=self.crewai_agent
)
crew = Crew(
agents=[self.crewai_agent],
tasks=[crew_task],
process=Process.sequential
)
result = crew.kickoff()
return result
# Usage example
from crewai_tools import SerperDevTool
search_tool = SerperDevTool()
crewai_wrapper = CrewAIAgentWrapper(
"ResearchAnalyst",
role='Senior Research Analyst',
goal='Uncover cutting-edge developments in AI and data science',
backstory="""You work at a leading tech think tank.
Your expertise lies in identifying emerging trends.
You have a knack for dissecting complex data and presenting actionable insights.""",
tools=[search_tool]
)
result = crewai_wrapper.run("Analyze the latest trends in quantum computing and summarize the key findings.")
print(result)
```
This wrapper allows us to use CrewAI agents within the swarms framework, leveraging CrewAI's focus on role-based agents and collaborative task execution.
### Autogen Integration

super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.name = name
self.autogen_agent = ConversableAgent(
name=name,
llm_config=llm_config,
code_execution_config=False,
function_map=None,
human_input_mode="NEVER"
)
def run(self, task, *args, **kwargs):
messages = [{"content": task, "role": "user"}]
response = self.autogen_agent.generate_reply(messages)
return response
# Usage example
import os
llm_config = {
"config_list": [{"model": "gpt-4", "api_key": os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY")}]
}
autogen_wrapper = AutogenAgentWrapper("AutogenAssistant", llm_config)
result = autogen_wrapper.run("Tell me a joke about programming.")
print(result)
```
This wrapper integrates Autogen's ConversableAgent into the swarms framework, allowing for easy use of Autogen's conversational AI capabilities.
By creating these wrappers, we can seamlessly integrate agents from various libraries into the swarms framework, allowing for a unified approach to agent management and task execution.
## 5. Advanced Agent Handling Techniques
As you build more complex systems using the swarms framework and integrated agent libraries, you'll need to employ advanced techniques for agent handling. Here are some strategies to consider:
### 1. Dynamic Agent Creation
Implement a factory pattern to create agents dynamically based on task requirements:
```python
class AgentFactory:
@staticmethod
def create_agent(agent_type, *args, **kwargs):
if agent_type == "griptape":
return GriptapeAgentWrapper(*args, **kwargs)
elif agent_type == "langchain":
return LangchainAgentWrapper(*args, **kwargs)
elif agent_type == "crewai":
return CrewAIAgentWrapper(*args, **kwargs)
elif agent_type == "autogen":
return AutogenAgentWrapper(*args, **kwargs)
else:
raise ValueError(f"Unknown agent type: {agent_type}")
# Usage
agent = AgentFactory.create_agent("griptape", "DynamicGriptapeAgent")
```
### 2. Agent Pooling
Implement an agent pool to manage and reuse agents efficiently:
```python
from queue import Queue
class AgentPool:
def __init__(self, pool_size=5):
self.pool = Queue(maxsize=pool_size)
self.pool_size = pool_size
def get_agent(self, agent_type, *args, **kwargs):
if not self.pool.empty():
return self.pool.get()
else:
return AgentFactory.create_agent(agent_type, *args, **kwargs)
def release_agent(self, agent):
if self.pool.qsize() < self.pool_size:
self.pool.put(agent)
# Usage
pool = AgentPool()
agent = pool.get_agent("langchain", "PooledLangchainAgent")
result = agent.run("Perform a task")
pool.release_agent(agent)
```
### 3. Agent Composition
Create composite agents that combine the capabilities of multiple agent types:
```python
class CompositeAgent(Agent):
def __init__(self, name, agents):
super().__init__()
self.name = name
self.agents = agents
def run(self, task):
results = []
for agent in self.agents:
results.append(agent.run(task))
return self.aggregate_results(results)
def aggregate_results(self, results):
# Implement your own logic to combine results
return "\n".join(results)
# Usage
griptape_agent = GriptapeAgentWrapper("GriptapeComponent")
langchain_agent = LangchainAgentWrapper("LangchainComponent", [])
composite_agent = CompositeAgent("CompositeAssistant", [griptape_agent, langchain_agent])
result = composite_agent.run("Analyze the pros and cons of quantum computing")
```
### 4. Agent Specialization
Create specialized agents for specific domains or tasks:
```python
class DataAnalysisAgent(Agent):
def __init__(self, name, analysis_tools):
super().__init__()
self.name = name
self.analysis_tools = analysis_tools
def run(self, data):
results = {}
for tool in self.analysis_tools:
results[tool.name] = tool.analyze(data)
return results
# Usage
import pandas as pd
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler
from sklearn.decomposition import PCA
class AnalysisTool:
def __init__(self, name, func):
self.name = name
self.func = func
def analyze(self, data):
return self.func(data)
tools = [
AnalysisTool("Descriptive Stats", lambda data: data.describe()),
AnalysisTool("Correlation", lambda data: data.corr()),
AnalysisTool("PCA", lambda data: PCA().fit_transform(StandardScaler().fit_transform(data)))
]
data_agent = DataAnalysisAgent("DataAnalyst", tools)
df = pd.read_csv("sample_data.csv")
analysis_results = data_agent.run(df)
```
### 5. Agent Monitoring and Logging
Implement a monitoring system to track agent performance and log their activities:
```python
import logging
from functools import wraps
def log_agent_activity(func):
@wraps(func)
def wrapper(self, *args, **kwargs):
logging.info(f"Agent {self.name} started task: {args[0]}")
result = func(self, *args, **kwargs)
logging.info(f"Agent {self.name} completed task. Result length: {len(str(result))}")
return result
return wrapper
class MonitoredAgent(Agent):
def __init__(self, name, *args, **kwargs):
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.name = name
@log_agent_activity
def run(self, task, *args, **kwargs):
return super().run(task, *args, **kwargs)
# Usage
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
monitored_agent = MonitoredAgent("MonitoredGriptapeAgent")
result = monitored_agent.run("Summarize the latest AI research papers")
```
## 6. Best Practices for Custom Agent Development
When developing custom agents using the swarms framework, consider the following best practices:
1. **Modular Design**: Design your agents with modularity in mind. Break down complex functionality into smaller, reusable components.
2. **Consistent Interfaces**: Maintain consistent interfaces across your custom agents to ensure interoperability within the swarms framework.
3. **Error Handling**: Implement robust error handling and graceful degradation in your agents to ensure system stability.
4. **Performance Optimization**: Optimize your agents for performance, especially when dealing with resource-intensive tasks or large-scale deployments.
5. **Testing and Validation**: Develop comprehensive test suites for your custom agents to ensure their reliability and correctness.
6. **Documentation**: Provide clear and detailed documentation for your custom agents, including their capabilities, limitations, and usage examples.
7. **Versioning**: Implement proper versioning for your custom agents to manage updates and maintain backwards compatibility.
8. **Security Considerations**: Implement security best practices, especially when dealing with sensitive data or integrating with external services.
Here's an example that incorporates some of these best practices:
```python
import logging
from typing import Dict, Any
from swarms import Agent
class SecureCustomAgent(Agent):
def __init__(self, name: str, api_key: str, version: str = "1.0.0", *args, **kwargs):
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.name = name
self._api_key = api_key # Store sensitive data securely
self.version = version
self.logger = logging.getLogger(f"{self.__class__.__name__}.{self.name}")
def run(self, task: str, *args, **kwargs) -> Dict[str, Any]:
try:
self.logger.info(f"Agent {self.name} (v{self.version}) starting task: {task}")
result = self._process_task(task)
self.logger.info(f"Agent {self.name} completed task successfully")
return {"status": "success", "result": result}
except Exception as e:
self.logger.error(f"Error in agent {self.name}: {str(e)}")
return {"status": "error", "message": str(e)}
def _process_task(self, task: str) -> str:
# Implement the core logic of your agent here
# This is a placeholder implementation
return f"Processed task: {task}"
@property
def api_key(self) -> str:
# Provide a secure way to access the API key
return self._api_key
def __repr__(self) -> str:
return f"<{self.__class__.__name__} name='{self.name}' version='{self.version}'>"
# Usage
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
secure_agent = SecureCustomAgent("SecureAgent", api_key="your-api-key-here")
result = secure_agent.run("Perform a secure operation")
print(result)
```
This example demonstrates several best practices:
- Modular design with separate methods for initialization and task processing
- Consistent interface adhering to the swarms framework
- Error handling and logging
- Secure storage of sensitive data (API key)
- Version tracking
- Type hinting for improved code readability and maintainability
- Informative string representation of the agent
## 7. Future Directions and Challenges

# Swarms 5.8.1 Feature Documentation
## 1. Enhanced Command Line Interface (CLI)
### 1.1 Integrated Onboarding Process
```bash
$ swarms onboarding
```
### 1.2 Run Agents Command
```bash
$ swarms run-agents --yaml-file agents.yaml
```
This command allows users to execute multiple agents defined in a YAML file. Here's the process:
1. The command reads the specified YAML file (`agents.yaml` in this case).
2. It parses the YAML content, extracting the configuration for each agent.
3. For each agent defined in the YAML:
- It creates an instance of the agent with the specified parameters.
- It sets up the agent's environment (model, temperature, max tokens, etc.).
- It assigns the given task to the agent.
- It executes the agent, respecting parameters like `max_loops`, `autosave`, and `verbose`.
4. The results from all agents are collected and presented to the user.
The YAML file structure allows users to define multiple agents with different configurations, making it easy to run complex, multi-agent tasks from the command line.
### 1.3 Generate Prompt Feature
```bash
$ swarms generate-prompt --prompt "Create a marketing strategy for a new product launch"
```
This feature leverages Swarms' language model to generate expanded or refined prompts:
1. The command takes the user's input prompt as a starting point.
2. It likely sends this prompt to a pre-configured language model (possibly GPT-4 or a similar model).
3. The model then generates an expanded or more detailed version of the prompt.
4. The generated prompt is returned to the user, possibly with options to further refine or save it.
This feature can help users create more effective prompts for their agents or other AI tasks.
## 2. New Prompt Management System
### 2.1 Prompt Class
The new `Prompt` class provides a robust system for managing and versioning prompts:
```python
from swarms import Prompt
marketing_prompt = Prompt(content="Initial marketing strategy draft", autosave=True)
print(marketing_prompt.get_prompt())
```
Key features of the `Prompt` class:
1. **Initialization**: The class is initialized with initial content and an `autosave` option.
2. **Editing**:
```python
marketing_prompt.edit_prompt("Updated marketing strategy with social media focus")
```
This method updates the prompt content and, if `autosave` is True, automatically saves the new version.
3. **Retrieval**:
```python
current_content = marketing_prompt.get_prompt()
```
This method returns the current content of the prompt.
4. **Version History**:
```python
print(f"Edit history: {marketing_prompt.edit_history}")
```
The class maintains a history of edits, allowing users to track changes over time.
5. **Rollback**:
```python
marketing_prompt.rollback(1)
```
This feature allows users to revert to a previous version of the prompt.
6. **Duplicate Prevention**:
The class includes logic to prevent duplicate edits, raising a `ValueError` if an attempt is made to save the same content twice in a row.
This system provides a powerful way to manage prompts, especially for complex projects where prompt engineering and iteration are crucial.
## 3. Upcoming Features Preview
### 3.1 Enhanced Agent Execution Capabilities
The preview code demonstrates planned enhancements for agent execution:
```python
from swarms import Agent, ExecutionEnvironment
my_agent = Agent(name="data_processor")
cpu_env = ExecutionEnvironment(type="cpu", cores=4)
my_agent.run(environment=cpu_env)
gpu_env = ExecutionEnvironment(type="gpu", device_id=0)
my_agent.run(environment=gpu_env)
fractional_env = ExecutionEnvironment(type="fractional", cpu_fraction=0.5, gpu_fraction=0.3)
my_agent.run(environment=fractional_env)
```
This upcoming feature will allow for more fine-grained control over the execution environment:
1. **CPU Execution**: Users can specify the number of CPU cores to use.
2. **GPU Execution**: Allows selection of a specific GPU device.
3. **Fractionalized Execution**: Enables partial allocation of CPU and GPU resources.
These features will provide users with greater flexibility in resource allocation, potentially improving performance and allowing for more efficient use of available hardware.

# The Limits of Individual Agents
![Reliable Agents](docs/assets/img/reliabilitythrough.png)
Individual agents have pushed the boundaries of what machines can learn and accomplish. However, despite their impressive capabilities, these agents face inherent limitations that can hinder their effectiveness in complex, real-world applications. This blog explores the critical constraints of individual agents, such as context window limits, hallucination, single-task threading, and lack of collaboration, and illustrates how multi-agent collaboration can address these limitations. In short,
- Context Window Limits
- Single Task Execution
- Hallucination
- No collaboration
#### Context Window Limits
One of the most significant constraints of individual agents, particularly in the domain of language models, is the context window limit. This limitation refers to the maximum amount of information an agent can consider at any given time. For instance, many language models can only process a fixed number of tokens (words or characters) in a single inference, restricting their ability to understand and generate responses based on longer texts. This limitation can lead to a lack of coherence in longer compositions and an inability to maintain context in extended conversations or documents.
#### Hallucination
Hallucination in AI refers to the phenomenon where an agent generates information that is not grounded in the input data or real-world facts. This can manifest as making up facts, entities, or events that do not exist or are incorrect. Hallucinations pose a significant challenge in ensuring the reliability and trustworthiness of AI-generated content, particularly in critical applications such as news generation, academic research, and legal advice.
#### Single Task Threading
Individual agents are often designed to excel at specific tasks, leveraging their architecture and training data to optimize performance in a narrowly defined domain. However, this specialization can also be a drawback, as it limits the agent's ability to multitask or adapt to tasks that fall outside its primary domain. Single-task threading means an agent may excel in language translation but struggle with image recognition or vice versa, necessitating the deployment of multiple specialized agents for comprehensive AI solutions.
#### Lack of Collaboration
Traditional AI agents operate in isolation, processing inputs and generating outputs independently. This isolation limits their ability to leverage diverse perspectives, share knowledge, or build upon the insights of other agents. In complex problem-solving scenarios, where multiple facets of a problem need to be addressed simultaneously, this lack of collaboration can lead to suboptimal solutions or an inability to tackle multifaceted challenges effectively.
# The Elegant yet Simple Solution
- ## Multi-Agent Collaboration
Recognizing the limitations of individual agents, researchers and practitioners have explored the potential of multi-agent collaboration as a means to transcend these constraints. Multi-agent systems comprise several agents that can interact, communicate, and collaborate to achieve common goals or solve complex problems. This collaborative approach offers several advantages:
#### Overcoming Context Window Limits
By dividing a large task among multiple agents, each focusing on different segments of the problem, multi-agent systems can effectively overcome the context window limits of individual agents. For instance, in processing a long document, different agents could be responsible for understanding and analyzing different sections, pooling their insights to generate a coherent understanding of the entire text.
#### Mitigating Hallucination
Through collaboration, agents can cross-verify facts and information, reducing the likelihood of hallucinations. If one agent generates a piece of information, other agents can provide checks and balances, verifying the accuracy against known data or through consensus mechanisms.
#### Enhancing Multitasking Capabilities
Multi-agent systems can tackle tasks that require a diverse set of skills by leveraging the specialization of individual agents. For example, in a complex project that involves both natural language processing and image analysis, one agent specialized in text can collaborate with another specialized in visual data, enabling a comprehensive approach to the task.
#### Facilitating Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing
Multi-agent collaboration inherently encourages the sharing of knowledge and insights, allowing agents to learn from each other and improve their collective performance. This can be particularly powerful in scenarios where iterative learning and adaptation are crucial, such as dynamic environments or tasks that evolve over time.
### Conclusion
While individual AI agents have made remarkable strides in various domains, their inherent limitations necessitate innovative approaches to unlock the full potential of artificial intelligence. Multi-agent collaboration emerges as a compelling solution, offering a pathway to transcend individual constraints through collective intelligence. By harnessing the power of collaborative AI, we can address more complex, multifaceted problems, paving the way for more versatile, efficient, and effective AI systems in the future.

The Swarms Framework addresses this limitation by introducing a layer of coordination and collaboration among agents. Through specialized coordination agents and communication protocols, the framework enables agents to share information, divide tasks, and synchronize their actions. This collaborative approach not only increases efficiency but also enables the emergence of collective intelligence, where the combined capabilities of multiple agents surpass the sum of their individual abilities.
### Limitation 5: Cost Inefficiencies
Running large AI models or orchestrating multiple agents can be computationally expensive, particularly in enterprise environments where scalability and cost-effectiveness are critical considerations. Inefficient resource utilization or redundant computations can quickly escalate costs, making widespread adoption of AI-driven automation financially prohibitive.
The Swarms Framework tackles this limitation by optimizing resource allocation and workload distribution among agents. By intelligently assigning tasks to the most appropriate agents and leveraging agent specialization, the framework minimizes redundant computations and improves overall resource utilization. Additionally, the framework can dynamically scale agent instances based on demand, ensuring that computational resources are allocated efficiently and costs are minimized.

# Why Swarms?
The need for multiple agents to work together in artificial intelligence (AI) and particularly in the context of Large Language Models (LLMs) stems from several inherent limitations and challenges in handling complex, dynamic, and multifaceted tasks with single-agent systems. Collaborating with multiple agents offers a pathway to enhance reliability, computational efficiency, cognitive diversity, and problem-solving capabilities. This section delves into the rationale behind employing multi-agent systems and strategizes on overcoming the associated expenses, such as API bills and hosting costs.
### Why Multiple Agents Are Necessary
#### 1. **Cognitive Diversity**
Different agents can bring varied perspectives, knowledge bases, and problem-solving approaches to a task. This diversity is crucial in complex problem-solving scenarios where a single approach might not be sufficient. Cognitive diversity enhances creativity, leading to innovative solutions and the ability to tackle a broader range of problems.
#### 2. **Specialization and Expertise**
In many cases, tasks are too complex for a single agent to handle efficiently. By dividing the task among multiple specialized agents, each can focus on a segment where it excels, thereby increasing the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the solution. This approach leverages the expertise of individual agents to achieve superior performance in tasks that require multifaceted knowledge and skills.
#### 3. **Scalability and Flexibility**
Multi-agent systems can more easily scale to handle large-scale or evolving tasks. Adding more agents to the system can increase its capacity or capabilities, allowing it to adapt to larger workloads or new types of tasks. This scalability is essential in dynamic environments where the demand and nature of tasks can change rapidly.
#### 4. **Robustness and Redundancy**
Collaboration among multiple agents enhances the system's robustness by introducing redundancy. If one agent fails or encounters an error, others can compensate, ensuring the system remains operational. This redundancy is critical in mission-critical applications where failure is not an option.
### Overcoming Expenses with API Bills and Hosting
Deploying multiple agents, especially when relying on cloud-based services or APIs, can incur significant costs. Here are strategies to manage and reduce these expenses:
#### 1. **Optimize Agent Efficiency**
Before scaling up the number of agents, ensure each agent operates as efficiently as possible. This can involve refining algorithms, reducing unnecessary API calls, and optimizing data processing to minimize computational requirements and, consequently, the associated costs.
#### 2. **Use Open Source and Self-Hosted Solutions**
Where possible, leverage open-source models and technologies that can be self-hosted. While there is an initial investment in setting up the infrastructure, over time, self-hosting can significantly reduce costs related to API calls and reliance on third-party services.
#### 3. **Implement Intelligent Caching**
Caching results for frequently asked questions or common tasks can drastically reduce the need for repeated computations or API calls. Intelligent caching systems can determine what information to store and for how long, optimizing the balance between fresh data and computational savings.
#### 4. **Dynamic Scaling and Load Balancing**
Use cloud services that offer dynamic scaling and load balancing to adjust the resources allocated based on the current demand. This ensures you're not paying for idle resources during low-usage periods while still being able to handle high demand when necessary.
#### 5. **Collaborative Cost-Sharing Models**
In scenarios where multiple stakeholders benefit from the multi-agent system, consider implementing a cost-sharing model. This approach distributes the financial burden among the users or beneficiaries, making it more sustainable.
#### 6. **Monitor and Analyze Costs**
Regularly monitor and analyze your usage and associated costs to identify potential savings. Many cloud providers offer tools to track and forecast expenses, helping you to adjust your usage patterns and configurations to minimize costs without sacrificing performance.
### Conclusion
The collaboration of multiple agents in AI systems presents a robust solution to the complexity, specialization, scalability, and robustness challenges inherent in single-agent approaches. While the associated costs can be significant, strategic optimization, leveraging open-source technologies, intelligent caching, dynamic resource management, collaborative cost-sharing, and diligent monitoring can mitigate these expenses. By adopting these strategies, organizations can harness the power of multi-agent systems to tackle complex problems more effectively and efficiently, ensuring the sustainable deployment of these advanced technologies.

# Swarm Architectures
### What is a Swarm?
A swarm, in the context of multi-agent systems, refers to a group of more than two agents working collaboratively to achieve a common goal. These agents can be software entities, such as llms that interact with each other to perform complex tasks. The concept of a swarm is inspired by natural systems like ant colonies or bird flocks, where simple individual behaviors lead to complex group dynamics and problem-solving capabilities.
### How Swarm Architectures Facilitate Communication
Swarm architectures are designed to establish and manage communication between agents within a swarm. These architectures define how agents interact, share information, and coordinate their actions to achieve the desired outcomes. Here are some key aspects of swarm architectures:
1. **Hierarchical Communication**: In hierarchical swarms, communication flows from higher-level agents to lower-level agents. Higher-level agents act as coordinators, distributing tasks and aggregating results. This structure is efficient for tasks that require top-down control and decision-making.
2. **Parallel Communication**: In parallel swarms, agents operate independently and communicate with each other as needed. This architecture is suitable for tasks that can be processed concurrently without dependencies, allowing for faster execution and scalability.
3. **Sequential Communication**: Sequential swarms process tasks in a linear order, where each agent's output becomes the input for the next agent. This ensures that tasks with dependencies are handled in the correct sequence, maintaining the integrity of the workflow.
4. **Mesh Communication**: In mesh swarms, agents are fully connected, allowing any agent to communicate with any other agent. This setup provides high flexibility and redundancy, making it ideal for complex systems requiring dynamic interactions.
5. **Federated Communication**: Federated swarms involve multiple independent swarms that collaborate by sharing information and results. Each swarm operates autonomously but can contribute to a larger task, enabling distributed problem-solving across different nodes.
Swarm architectures leverage these communication patterns to ensure that agents work together efficiently, adapting to the specific requirements of the task at hand. By defining clear communication protocols and interaction models, swarm architectures enable the seamless orchestration of multiple agents, leading to enhanced performance and problem-solving capabilities.

### Hierarchical Swarm
**Overview:**
A Hierarchical Swarm architecture organizes the agents in a tree-like structure. Higher-level agents delegate tasks to lower-level agents, which can further divide tasks among themselves. This structure allows for efficient task distribution and scalability.
**Use-Cases:**
- Complex decision-making processes where tasks can be broken down into subtasks.
- Multi-stage workflows such as data processing pipelines or hierarchical reinforcement learning.
```mermaid
graph TD
A[Root Agent] --> B1[Sub-Agent 1]
A --> B2[Sub-Agent 2]
B1 --> C1[Sub-Agent 1.1]
B1 --> C2[Sub-Agent 1.2]
B2 --> C3[Sub-Agent 2.1]
B2 --> C4[Sub-Agent 2.2]
```

### Parallel Swarm
**Overview:**
In a Parallel Swarm architecture, multiple agents operate independently and simultaneously on different tasks. Each agent works on its own task without dependencies on the others. [Learn more here in the docs:](https://docs.swarms.world/en/latest/swarms/structs/agent_rearrange/)
**Use-Cases:**
- Tasks that can be processed independently, such as parallel data analysis.
- Large-scale simulations where multiple scenarios are run in parallel.
```mermaid
graph LR
A[Task] --> B1[Sub-Agent 1]
A --> B2[Sub-Agent 2]
A --> B3[Sub-Agent 3]
A --> B4[Sub-Agent 4]
```
---
### Sequential Swarm
**Overview:**
A Sequential Swarm architecture processes tasks in a linear sequence. Each agent completes its task before passing the result to the next agent in the chain. This architecture ensures orderly processing and is useful when tasks have dependencies. [Learn more here in the docs:](https://docs.swarms.world/en/latest/swarms/structs/agent_rearrange/)
**Use-Cases:**
- Workflows where each step depends on the previous one, such as assembly lines or sequential data processing.
- Scenarios requiring strict order of operations.
```mermaid
graph TD
A[First Agent] --> B[Second Agent]
B --> C[Third Agent]
C --> D[Fourth Agent]
```
---
### Round Robin Swarm
**Overview:**
In a Round Robin Swarm architecture, tasks are distributed cyclically among a set of agents. Each agent takes turns handling tasks in a rotating order, ensuring even distribution of workload.
**Use-Cases:**
- Load balancing in distributed systems.
- Scenarios requiring fair distribution of tasks to avoid overloading any single agent.
```mermaid
graph TD
A[Coordinator Agent] --> B1[Sub-Agent 1]
A --> B2[Sub-Agent 2]
A --> B3[Sub-Agent 3]
A --> B4[Sub-Agent 4]
B1 --> A
B2 --> A
B3 --> A
B4 --> A
```
### SpreadSheet Swarm
**Overview:**
The SpreadSheet Swarm makes it easy to manage thousands of agents all in one place: a csv file. You can initialize any number of agents and then there is a loop parameter to run the loop of agents on the task. Learn more in the [docs here](https://docs.swarms.world/en/latest/swarms/structs/spreadsheet_swarm/)
**Use-Cases:**
- Multi-threaded execution: Execution agents on multiple threads

- We created three specialized agents for financial analysis: Stock Analysis, News Summarization, and Ratio Calculation.
- Each agent is provided with a custom system prompt that defines their unique task in analyzing stock data.
2. **Swarm Examples**:
- **Circular Swarm**: Agents take turns processing tasks in a circular manner.
- **Linear Swarm**: Tasks are processed sequentially by each agent.
- **Star Swarm**: The first agent (Stock Analysis) processes all tasks before distributing them to other agents.
- **Mesh Swarm**: Agents work on random tasks from the task queue.
- **Pyramid Swarm**: Agents are arranged in a pyramid structure, processing tasks layer by layer.
3. **One-to-One Communication**:
- This showcases how one agent can pass its result to another agent for further processing, useful for complex workflows where agents depend on each other.
4. **Broadcasting**:
- The broadcasting function demonstrates how a single task can be sent to all agents simultaneously. This can be useful for situations like summarizing daily stock market performance across multiple agents.
5. **Logging with Loguru**:
- We use `loguru` for detailed logging throughout the swarms. This helps to track the flow of information and responses from each agent.

import os
from swarms import Agent
from swarm_models import OpenAIChat
from swarms.prompts.finance_agent_sys_prompt import (
FINANCIAL_AGENT_SYS_PROMPT,
)
from dotenv import load_dotenv
# Load environment variables
load_dotenv()
# Get OpenAI API key from environment
api_key = os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")

**Maximizing Enterprise Automation: Overcoming the Limitations of Individual AI Agents Through Multi-Agent Collaboration**
In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, enterprises are constantly seeking innovative solutions to enhance efficiency, reduce operational costs, and maintain a competitive edge. Automation has emerged as a critical strategy for achieving these objectives, with artificial intelligence (AI) playing a pivotal role. AI agents, particularly those powered by advanced machine learning models, have shown immense potential in automating a variety of tasks. However, individual AI agents come with inherent limitations that hinder their ability to fully automate complex enterprise operations at scale.
This essay dives into the specific limitations of individual AI agents—context window limits, hallucination, single-task execution, lack of collaboration, lack of accuracy, and slow processing speed—and explores how multi-agent collaboration can overcome these challenges. By tailoring our discussion to the needs of enterprises aiming to automate operations at scale, we highlight practical strategies and frameworks that can be adopted to unlock the full potential of AI-driven automation.
---
### Part 1: The Limitations of Individual AI Agents
Despite significant advancements, individual AI agents face several obstacles that limit their effectiveness in enterprise automation. Understanding these limitations is crucial for organizations aiming to implement AI solutions that are both efficient and scalable.
#### 1. Context Window Limits
**Explanation**
AI agents, especially those based on language models like GPT-3 or GPT-4, operate within a fixed context window. This means they can only process and consider a limited amount of information (tokens) at a time. In practical terms, this restricts the agent's ability to handle large documents, long conversations, or complex datasets that exceed their context window.
**Impact on Enterprises**
For enterprises, this limitation poses significant challenges. Business operations often involve processing extensive documents such as legal contracts, technical manuals, or large datasets. An AI agent with a limited context window may miss crucial information located outside its immediate context, leading to incomplete analyses or erroneous conclusions.
```mermaid
graph LR
Subgraph[Context Window Limit]
Input[Large Document]
Agent[AI Agent]
Output[Partial Understanding]
Input -- Truncated Data --> Agent
Agent -- Generates --> Output
end
```
*An AI agent processes only a portion of a large document due to context window limits, resulting in partial understanding.*
#### 2. Hallucination
**Explanation**
Hallucination refers to the tendency of AI agents to produce outputs that are not grounded in the input data or reality. They may generate plausible-sounding but incorrect or nonsensical information, especially when uncertain or when the input data is ambiguous.
**Impact on Enterprises**
In enterprise settings, hallucinations can lead to misinformation, poor decision-making, and a lack of trust in AI systems. For instance, if an AI agent generates incorrect financial forecasts or misinterprets regulatory requirements, the consequences could be financially damaging and legally problematic.
```mermaid
graph TD
Input[Ambiguous Data]
Agent[AI Agent]
Output[Incorrect Information]
Input --> Agent
Agent --> Output
```
*An AI agent generates incorrect information (hallucination) when processing ambiguous data.*
#### 3. Single Task Execution
**Explanation**
Many AI agents are designed to excel at a specific task or a narrow set of functions. They lack the flexibility to perform multiple tasks simultaneously or adapt to new tasks without significant reconfiguration or retraining.
**Impact on Enterprises**
Enterprises require systems that can handle a variety of tasks, often concurrently. Relying on single-task agents necessitates deploying multiple separate agents, which can lead to integration challenges, increased complexity, and higher maintenance costs.
```mermaid
graph LR
TaskA[Task A] --> AgentA[Agent A]
TaskB[Task B] --> AgentB[Agent B]
AgentA --> OutputA[Result A]
AgentB --> OutputB[Result B]
```
*Separate agents handle different tasks independently, lacking integration.*
#### 4. Lack of Collaboration
**Explanation**
Individual AI agents typically operate in isolation, without the ability to communicate or collaborate with other agents. This siloed operation prevents them from sharing insights, learning from each other, or coordinating actions to achieve a common goal.
**Impact on Enterprises**
Complex enterprise operations often require coordinated efforts across different functions and departments. The inability of AI agents to collaborate limits their effectiveness in such environments, leading to disjointed processes and suboptimal outcomes.
```mermaid
graph LR
Agent1[Agent 1]
Agent2[Agent 2]
Agent3[Agent 3]
Agent1 -->|No Communication| Agent2
Agent2 -->|No Communication| Agent3
```
*Agents operate without collaboration, resulting in isolated efforts.*
#### 5. Lack of Accuracy
**Explanation**
AI agents may produce inaccurate results due to limitations in their training data, algorithms, or inability to fully understand complex inputs. Factors such as data bias, overfitting, or lack of domain-specific knowledge contribute to this inaccuracy.
**Impact on Enterprises**
Inaccurate outputs can have serious ramifications for businesses, including flawed strategic decisions, customer dissatisfaction, and compliance risks. High accuracy is essential for tasks like financial analysis, customer service, and regulatory compliance.
```mermaid
graph TD
Input[Complex Data]
Agent[AI Agent]
Output[Inaccurate Result]
Input --> Agent
Agent --> Output
```
*An AI agent produces an inaccurate result when handling complex data.*
#### 6. Slow Processing Speed
**Explanation**
Some AI agents require significant computational resources and time to process data and generate outputs. Factors like model complexity, inefficient algorithms, or hardware limitations can contribute to slow processing speeds.
**Impact on Enterprises**
Slow processing impedes real-time decision-making and responsiveness. In fast-paced business environments, delays can lead to missed opportunities, reduced productivity, and competitive disadvantages.
```mermaid
graph TD
Input[Data]
Agent[AI Agent]
Delay[Processing Delay]
Output[Delayed Response]

Agent --> Delay
Delay --> Output
```
*An AI agent's slow processing leads to delayed responses.*

### Part 2: Overcoming Limitations Through Multi-Agent Collaboration
To address the challenges posed by individual AI agents, enterprises can adopt a multi-agent collaboration approach. By orchestrating multiple agents with complementary skills and functionalities, organizations can enhance performance, accuracy, and scalability in their automation efforts.
#### 1. Extending Context Window Through Distributed Processing
**Solution**
By dividing large inputs into smaller segments, multiple agents can process different parts simultaneously. A coordinating agent can then aggregate the results to form a comprehensive understanding.
**Implementation in Enterprises**
- **Document Analysis:** For lengthy legal contracts, agents can each analyze specific sections, and a master agent can compile insights and ensure consistency.
- **Customer Interaction History:** In customer service, agents can handle different segments of a customer's history to provide personalized support.
```mermaid
graph LR
Input[Large Document]
Splitter[Splitter Agent]
A1[Agent 1]
A2[Agent 2]
A3[Agent 3]
Aggregator[Aggregator Agent]
Output[Comprehensive Analysis]
Input --> Splitter
Splitter --> A1
Splitter --> A2
Splitter --> A3
A1 --> Aggregator
A2 --> Aggregator
A3 --> Aggregator
Aggregator --> Output
```
*Multiple agents process segments of a large document, and results are aggregated.*
#### 2. Reducing Hallucination Through Cross-Verification
**Solution**
Agents can verify each other's outputs by cross-referencing information and flagging inconsistencies. Implementing consensus mechanisms ensures that only accurate information is accepted.
**Implementation in Enterprises**
- **Data Validation:** In data entry automation, one agent inputs data while another validates it against source documents.
- **Decision Support Systems:** Multiple agents evaluate options and agree on recommendations, reducing the risk of incorrect advice.
```mermaid
graph TD
A[Agent's Output]
V1[Verifier Agent 1]
V2[Verifier Agent 2]
Consensus[Consensus Mechanism]
Output[Validated Output]
A --> V1
A --> V2
V1 & V2 --> Consensus
Consensus --> Output
```
*Agents verify outputs through cross-verification and consensus.*
#### 3. Enhancing Multi-Tasking Through Specialized Agents
**Solution**
Deploy specialized agents for different tasks and enable them to work concurrently. An orchestrator agent manages task allocation and workflow integration.
**Implementation in Enterprises**
- **Automated Workflows:** In supply chain management, one agent handles inventory analysis, another manages logistics, and a third forecasts demand.
- **IT Operations:** In IT automation, separate agents manage network monitoring, security scanning, and system updates.
```mermaid
graph LR
Task[Complex Task]
Orchestrator[Orchestrator Agent]

AgentC[Specialist Agent C]
Output[Integrated Solution]
Task --> Orchestrator
Orchestrator --> AgentA
Orchestrator --> AgentB
Orchestrator --> AgentC
AgentA & AgentB & AgentC --> Orchestrator
Orchestrator --> Output
```
*Specialized agents handle different tasks under the management of an orchestrator agent.*
#### 4. Facilitating Collaboration Through Communication Protocols
**Solution**
Implement communication protocols that allow agents to share information, request assistance, and coordinate actions. This fosters a collaborative environment where agents complement each other's capabilities.
**Implementation in Enterprises**
- **Customer Service:** Chatbots and virtual assistants share customer data to provide seamless support across channels.
- **Project Management:** Agents managing different aspects of a project (scheduling, resource allocation, risk assessment) coordinate to keep the project on track.
```mermaid
graph LR
Agent1[Agent 1]
Agent2[Agent 2]
Agent3[Agent 3]
Agent1 <--> Agent2
Agent2 <--> Agent3
Agent3 <--> Agent1
Output[Collaborative Outcome]
```
*Agents communicate and collaborate to achieve a common goal.*
#### 5. Improving Accuracy Through Ensemble Learning
**Solution**
Use ensemble methods where multiple agents provide predictions or analyses, and a meta-agent combines these to produce a more accurate result.
**Implementation in Enterprises**
- **Risk Assessment:** Different agents assess risks from various perspectives (financial, operational, compliance), and their insights are combined.
- **Market Analysis:** Agents analyze market trends, customer behavior, and competitor actions, leading to a comprehensive market strategy.
```mermaid
graph TD
AgentA[Agent A Output]
AgentB[Agent B Output]
AgentC[Agent C Output]
MetaAgent[Meta-Agent]
Output[Enhanced Accuracy]
AgentA --> MetaAgent
AgentB --> MetaAgent
AgentC --> MetaAgent
MetaAgent --> Output
```
*Meta-agent combines outputs from multiple agents to improve accuracy.*
#### 6. Increasing Processing Speed Through Parallelization
**Solution**
By distributing workloads among multiple agents operating in parallel, processing times are significantly reduced, enabling real-time responses.
**Implementation in Enterprises**
- **Data Processing:** Large datasets are partitioned and processed simultaneously by different agents.
- **Customer Requests:** Multiple customer inquiries are handled at once by separate agents, improving response times.
```mermaid
graph LR
Data[Large Dataset]
Agent1[Agent 1]
Agent2[Agent 2]
Agent3[Agent 3]
Output[Processed Data]
Data --> Agent1
Data --> Agent2
Data --> Agent3
Agent1 & Agent2 & Agent3 --> Output
```
*Parallel processing by agents leads to faster completion times.*

# An Analysis of Agents
In the Swarms framework, agents are designed to perform tasks autonomously by leveraging large language models (LLMs), various tools, and long-term memory systems. This guide provides an extensive conceptual walkthrough of how an agent operates, detailing the sequence of actions it takes to complete a task and how it utilizes its internal components.
#### Agent Components Overview
- **LLM (Large Language Model)**: The core component responsible for understanding and generating natural language.
- **Tools**: External functions and services that the agent can call to perform specific tasks, such as querying databases or interacting with APIs.
- **Long-term Memory**: Systems like ChromaDB or Pinecone that store and retrieve information over extended periods, enabling the agent to remember past interactions and contexts.
#### Agent Workflow
The workflow of an agent can be divided into several stages: task initiation, initial LLM processing, tool usage, memory interaction, and final LLM processing.
##### Stage 1: Task Initiation
- **Input**: The task or query that the agent needs to address.
- **Output**: A structured plan or approach for handling the task.
##### Stage 2: Initial LLM Processing
- **Input**: The task or query.
- **Process**: The LLM interprets the task, understanding the context and requirements.
- **Output**: An initial response or action plan.
##### Stage 3: Tool Usage
- **Input**: The action plan or specific sub-tasks identified by the LLM.
- **Process**: The agent calls various tools to gather information, perform calculations, or interact with external systems.
- **Function Calling as Tools**: Tools are called as functions with specific inputs and outputs, enabling the agent to perform a wide range of tasks.
- **Output**: Data or results from the tools.
##### Stage 4: Memory Interaction
- **Input**: Intermediate results and context from the tools.
- **Process**: The agent interacts with long-term memory systems to store new information and retrieve relevant past data.
- **RAG Systems (ChromaDB, Pinecone)**: These systems are used to enhance the agents responses by providing relevant historical data and context.
- **Output**: Enhanced context and data for final processing.
##### Stage 5: Final LLM Processing
- **Input**: Comprehensive data and context from the tools and memory systems.
- **Process**: The LLM generates the final response or completes the task using the enriched data.
- **Output**: The final output or action taken by the agent.
### Detailed Workflow with Mermaid Diagrams

```
### Explanation of Each Stage
#### Stage 1: Task Initiation
- **Task**: The agent receives a task or query from an external source (e.g., a user query, a system trigger).
- **Objective**: To understand what needs to be done and prepare an initial approach.
#### Stage 2: Initial LLM Processing
- **Interpretation**: The LLM processes the task to comprehend its context and requirements.
- **Planning**: The LLM generates an initial plan or identifies the sub-tasks required to complete the task.
#### Stage 3: Tool Usage
- **Function Calls**: The agent uses predefined functions (tools) to perform specific actions, such as querying a database or making API calls.
- **Tool Integration**: Each tool is called with specific parameters, and the results are collected for further processing.
#### Stage 4: Memory Interaction
- **Long-term Memory**: Systems like ChromaDB and Pinecone store and retrieve long-term data, providing the agent with historical context and past interactions.
- **Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)**: The agent uses RAG systems to enhance the current context with relevant past data, improving the quality and relevance of the final output.
#### Stage 5: Final LLM Processing
- **Enhanced Processing**: The LLM processes the enriched data and context provided by the tools and memory systems.
- **Final Output**: The LLM generates a comprehensive response or completes the task using the enhanced information.
### Conclusion
The Swarms framework's agents are powerful units that combine LLMs, tools, and long-term memory systems to perform complex tasks efficiently. By leveraging function calling for tools and RAG systems like ChromaDB and Pinecone, agents can enhance their capabilities and deliver highly relevant and accurate results. This conceptual guide and walkthrough provide a detailed understanding of how agents operate within the Swarms framework, enabling the development of sophisticated and collaborative AI systems.

# Code Cleanliness in Python: A Comprehensive Guide
Code cleanliness is an essential aspect of software development that ensures code is easy to read, understand, and maintain. Clean code leads to fewer bugs, easier debugging, and more efficient collaboration among developers. This blog article delves into the principles of writing clean Python code, emphasizing the use of type annotations, docstrings, and the Loguru logging library. We'll explore the importance of each component and provide practical examples to illustrate best practices.
## Table of Contents
1. Introduction to Code Cleanliness
2. Importance of Type Annotations
3. Writing Effective Docstrings
4. Structuring Your Code
5. Error Handling and Logging with Loguru
6. Refactoring for Clean Code
7. Examples of Clean Code
8. Conclusion
## 1. Introduction to Code Cleanliness
Code cleanliness refers to the practice of writing code that is easy to read, understand, and maintain. Clean code follows consistent conventions and is organized logically, making it easier for developers to collaborate and for new team members to get up to speed quickly.
### Why Clean Code Matters
1. **Readability**: Clean code is easy to read and understand, which reduces the time needed to grasp what the code does.
2. **Maintainability**: Clean code is easier to maintain and modify, reducing the risk of introducing bugs when making changes.
3. **Collaboration**: Clean code facilitates collaboration among team members, as everyone can easily understand and follow the codebase.
4. **Debugging**: Clean code makes it easier to identify and fix bugs, leading to more reliable software.
## 2. Importance of Type Annotations
Type annotations in Python provide a way to specify the types of variables, function arguments, and return values. They enhance code readability and help catch type-related errors early in the development process.
### Benefits of Type Annotations
1. **Improved Readability**: Type annotations make it clear what types of values are expected, improving code readability.
2. **Error Detection**: Type annotations help catch type-related errors during development, reducing runtime errors.
3. **Better Tooling**: Many modern IDEs and editors use type annotations to provide better code completion and error checking.
### Example of Type Annotations
```python
from typing import List
def calculate_average(numbers: List[float]) -> float:
"""
Calculates the average of a list of numbers.
Args:
numbers (List[float]): A list of numbers.
Returns:
float: The average of the numbers.
"""
return sum(numbers) / len(numbers)
```
In this example, the `calculate_average` function takes a list of floats as input and returns a float. The type annotations make it clear what types are expected and returned, enhancing readability and maintainability.
## 3. Writing Effective Docstrings
Docstrings are an essential part of writing clean code in Python. They provide inline documentation for modules, classes, methods, and functions. Effective docstrings improve code readability and make it easier for other developers to understand and use your code.
### Benefits of Docstrings
1. **Documentation**: Docstrings serve as inline documentation, making it easier to understand the purpose and usage of code.
2. **Consistency**: Well-written docstrings ensure consistent documentation across the codebase.
3. **Ease of Use**: Docstrings make it easier for developers to use and understand code without having to read through the implementation details.
### Example of Effective Docstrings
```python
def calculate_factorial(n: int) -> int:
"""
Calculates the factorial of a given non-negative integer.
Args:
n (int): The non-negative integer to calculate the factorial of.
Returns:
int: The factorial of the given number.
Raises:
ValueError: If the input is a negative integer.
"""
if n < 0:
raise ValueError("Input must be a non-negative integer.")
factorial = 1
for i in range(1, n + 1):
factorial *= i
return factorial
```
In this example, the docstring clearly explains the purpose of the `calculate_factorial` function, its arguments, return value, and the exception it may raise.
## 4. Structuring Your Code
Proper code structure is crucial for code cleanliness. A well-structured codebase is easier to navigate, understand, and maintain. Here are some best practices for structuring your Python code:
### Organizing Code into Modules and Packages
Organize your code into modules and packages to group related functionality together. This makes it easier to find and manage code.
```python
# project/
# ├── main.py
# ├── utils/
# │ ├── __init__.py
# │ ├── file_utils.py
# │ └── math_utils.py
# └── models/
# ├── __init__.py
# ├── user.py
# └── product.py
```
### Using Functions and Classes
Break down your code into small, reusable functions and classes. This makes your code more modular and easier to test.
```python
class User:
def __init__(self, name: str, age: int):
"""
Initializes a new user.
Args:
name (str): The name of the user.
age (int): The age of the user.
"""
self.name = name
self.age = age
def greet(self) -> str:
"""
Greets the user.
Returns:
str: A greeting message.
"""
return f"Hello, {self.name}!"
```
### Keeping Functions Small
Functions should do one thing and do it well. Keep functions small and focused on a single task.
```python
def save_user(user: User, filename: str) -> None:
"""
Saves user data to a file.
Args:
user (User): The user object to save.
filename (str): The name of the file to save the user data to.
"""
with open(filename, 'w') as file:
file.write(f"{user.name},{user.age}")
```
## 5. Error Handling and Logging with Loguru
Effective error handling and logging are critical components of clean code. They help you manage and diagnose issues that arise during the execution of your code.
### Error Handling Best Practices
1. **Use Specific Exceptions**: Catch specific exceptions rather than using a generic `except` clause.
2. **Provide Meaningful Messages**: When raising exceptions, provide meaningful error messages to help diagnose the issue.
3. **Clean Up Resources**: Use `finally` blocks or context managers to ensure that resources are properly cleaned up.
### Example of Error Handling
```python
def divide_numbers(numerator: float, denominator: float) -> float:
"""
Divides the numerator by the denominator.
Args:
numerator (float): The number to be divided.
denominator (float): The number to divide by.
Returns:
float: The result of the division.
Raises:
ValueError: If the denominator is zero.
"""
if denominator == 0:
raise ValueError("The denominator cannot be zero.")
return numerator / denominator
```
### Logging with Loguru
Loguru is a powerful logging library for Python that makes logging simple and enjoyable. It provides a clean and easy-to-use API for logging messages with different severity levels.
#### Installing Loguru
```bash
pip install loguru
```
#### Basic Usage of Loguru
```python
from loguru import logger
logger.debug("This is a debug message")
logger.info("This is an info message")
logger.warning("This is a warning message")
logger.error("This is an error message")
logger.critical("This is a critical message")
```
### Example of Logging in a Function
```python
from loguru import logger
def fetch_data(url: str) -> str:
"""
Fetches data from a given URL and returns it as a string.
Args:
url (str): The URL to fetch data from.
Returns:
str: The data fetched from the URL.
Raises:
requests.exceptions.RequestException: If there is an error with the request.
"""
try:
logger.info(f"Fetching data from {url}")
response = requests.get(url)
response.raise_for_status()
logger.info("Data fetched successfully")
return response.text
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
logger.error(f"Error fetching data: {e}")
raise
```
In this example, Loguru is used to log messages at different severity levels. The `fetch_data` function logs informational messages when fetching data and logs an error message if an exception is raised.
## 6. Refactoring for Clean Code
Refactoring is the process of restructuring existing code without changing its external behavior. It is an essential practice for maintaining clean code. Refactoring helps improve code readability, reduce complexity, and eliminate redundancy.
### Identifying Code Smells
Code smells are indicators of potential issues in the code that may require refactoring. Common code smells include:
1. **Long Methods**: Methods that are too long and do too many things.
2. **Duplicated Code**: Code that is duplicated in multiple places.
3. **Large Classes**: Classes that have too many responsibilities.
4. **Poor Naming**: Variables, functions, or classes with unclear or misleading names.
### Refactoring Techniques
1. **Extract Method**: Break down long methods into smaller, more focused methods.
2. **Rename Variables**: Use meaningful names for variables, functions, and classes.
3. **Remove Duplicated Code**: Consolidate duplicated code into a single location.
4. **Simplify Conditional Expressions**: Simplify complex conditional expressions for
better readability.
### Example of Refactoring
Before refactoring:
```python
def process_data(data: List[int]) -> int:
total = 0
for value in data:
if value > 0:
total += value
return total
```
After refactoring:
```python
def filter_positive_values(data: List[int]) -> List[int]:
"""
Filters the positive values from the input data.
Args:
data (List[int]): The input data.
Returns:
List[int]: A list of positive values.
"""
return [value for value in data if value > 0]
def sum_values(values: List[int]) -> int:
"""
Sums the values in the input list.
Args:
values (List[int]): A list of values to sum.
Returns:
int: The sum of the values.
"""
return sum(values)
def process_data(data: List[int]) -> int:
"""
Processes the data by filtering positive values and summing them.
Args:
data (List[int]): The input data.
Returns:
int: The sum of the positive values.
"""
positive_values = filter_positive_values(data)
return sum_values(positive_values)
```
In this example, the `process_data` function is refactored into smaller, more focused functions. This improves readability and maintainability.
## 7. Examples of Clean Code
### Example 1: Reading a File
```python
def read_file(file_path: str) -> str:
"""
Reads the content of a file and returns it as a string.
Args:
file_path (str): The path to the file to read.
Returns:
str: The content of the file.
Raises:
FileNotFoundError: If the file does not exist.
IOError: If there is an error reading the file.
"""
try:
with open(file_path, 'r') as file:
return file.read()
except FileNotFoundError as e:
logger.error(f"File not found: {file_path}")
raise
except IOError as e:
logger.error(f"Error reading file: {file_path}")
raise
```
### Example 2: Fetching Data from a URL
```python
import requests
from loguru import logger
def fetch_data(url: str) -> str:
"""
Fetches data from a given URL and returns it as a string.
Args:
url (str): The URL to fetch data from.
Returns:
str: The data fetched from the URL.
Raises:
requests.exceptions.RequestException: If there is an error with the request.
"""
try:
logger.info(f"Fetching data from {url}")
response = requests.get(url)
response.raise_for_status()
logger.info("Data fetched successfully")
return response.text
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
logger.error(f"Error fetching data: {e}")
raise
```
### Example 3: Calculating Factorial
```python
def calculate_factorial(n: int) -> int:
"""
Calculates the factorial of a given non-negative integer.
Args:
n (int): The non-negative integer to calculate the factorial of.
Returns:
int: The factorial of the given number.
Raises:
ValueError: If the input is a negative integer.
"""
if n < 0:
raise ValueError("Input must be a non-negative integer.")
factorial = 1
for i in range(1, n + 1):
factorial *= i
return factorial
```
## 8. Conclusion
Writing clean code in Python is crucial for developing maintainable, readable, and error-free software. By using type annotations, writing effective docstrings, structuring your code properly, and leveraging logging with Loguru, you can significantly improve the quality of your codebase.
Remember to refactor your code regularly to eliminate code smells and improve readability. Clean code not only makes your life as a developer easier but also enhances collaboration and reduces the likelihood of bugs.

# How to Run Tests Using Pytest: A Comprehensive Guide
In modern software development, automated testing is crucial for ensuring the reliability and functionality of your code. One of the most popular testing frameworks for Python is `pytest`.
This blog will provide an in-depth look at how to run tests using `pytest`, including testing a single file, multiple files, every file in the test repository, and providing guidelines for contributors to run tests reliably.
## What is Pytest?
`pytest` is a testing framework for Python that makes it easy to write simple and scalable test cases. It supports fixtures, parameterized testing, and has a rich plugin architecture. `pytest` is widely used because of its ease of use and powerful features that help streamline the testing process.
## Installation
To get started with `pytest`, you need to install it. You can install `pytest` using `pip`:
```bash
pip install pytest
```
## Writing Your First Test
Before diving into running tests, lets write a simple test. Create a file named `test_sample.py` with the following content:
```python
def test_addition():
assert 1 + 1 == 2
def test_subtraction():
assert 2 - 1 == 1
```
In this example, we have defined two basic tests: `test_addition` and `test_subtraction`.
## Running Tests
### Running a Single Test File
To run a single test file, you can use the `pytest` command followed by the filename. For example, to run the tests in `test_sample.py`, use the following command:
```bash
pytest test_sample.py
```
The output will show the test results, including the number of tests passed, failed, or skipped.
### Running Multiple Test Files
You can also run multiple test files by specifying their filenames separated by a space. For example:
```bash
pytest test_sample.py test_another_sample.py
```
If you have multiple test files in a directory, you can run all of them by specifying the directory name:
```bash
pytest tests/
```
### Running All Tests in the Repository
To run all tests in the repository, navigate to the root directory of your project and simply run:
```bash
pytest
```
`pytest` will automatically discover and run all the test files that match the pattern `test_*.py` or `*_test.py`.
### Test Discovery
`pytest` automatically discovers test files and test functions based on their naming conventions. By default, it looks for files that match the pattern `test_*.py` or `*_test.py` and functions or methods that start with `test_`.
### Using Markers
`pytest` allows you to use markers to group tests or add metadata to them. Markers can be used to run specific subsets of tests. For example, you can mark a test as `slow` and then run only the slow tests or skip them.
```python
import pytest
@pytest.mark.slow
def test_long_running():
import time
time.sleep(5)
assert True
def test_fast():
assert True
```
To run only the tests marked as `slow`, use the `-m` option:
```bash
pytest -m slow
```
### Parameterized Tests
`pytest` supports parameterized testing, which allows you to run a test with different sets of input data. This can be done using the `@pytest.mark.parametrize` decorator.
```python
import pytest
@pytest.mark.parametrize("a,b,expected", [
(1, 2, 3),
(2, 3, 5),
(3, 5, 8),
])
def test_add(a, b, expected):
assert a + b == expected
```
In this example, `test_add` will run three times with different sets of input data.
### Fixtures
Fixtures are a powerful feature of `pytest` that allow you to set up some context for your tests. They can be used to provide a fixed baseline upon which tests can reliably and repeatedly execute.
```python
import pytest
@pytest.fixture
def sample_data():
return {"name": "John", "age": 30}
def test_sample_data(sample_data):
assert sample_data["name"] == "John"
assert sample_data["age"] == 30
```
Fixtures can be used to share setup and teardown code between tests.
## Advanced Usage
### Running Tests in Parallel
`pytest` can run tests in parallel using the `pytest-xdist` plugin. To install `pytest-xdist`, run:
```bash
pip install pytest-xdist
```
To run tests in parallel, use the `-n` option followed by the number of CPU cores you want to use:
```bash
pytest -n 4
```
### Generating Test Reports
`pytest` can generate detailed test reports. You can use the `--html` option to generate an HTML report:
```bash
pip install pytest-html
pytest --html=report.html
```
This command will generate a file named `report.html` with a detailed report of the test results.
### Code Coverage
You can use the `pytest-cov` plugin to measure code coverage. To install `pytest-cov`, run:
```bash
pip install pytest-cov
```
To generate a coverage report, use the `--cov` option followed by the module name:
```bash
pytest --cov=my_module
```
This command will show the coverage summary in the terminal. You can also generate an HTML report:
```bash
pytest --cov=my_module --cov-report=html
```
The coverage report will be generated in the `htmlcov` directory.
## Best Practices for Writing Tests
1. **Write Clear and Concise Tests**: Each test should focus on a single piece of functionality.
2. **Use Descriptive Names**: Test function names should clearly describe what they are testing.
3. **Keep Tests Independent**: Tests should not depend on each other and should run in isolation.
4. **Use Fixtures**: Use fixtures to set up the context for your tests.
5. **Mock External Dependencies**: Use mocking to isolate the code under test from external dependencies.
## Running Tests Reliably
For contributors and team members, its important to run tests reliably to ensure consistent results. Here are some guidelines:
1. **Set Up a Virtual Environment**: Use a virtual environment to manage dependencies and ensure a consistent testing environment.
```bash
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate # On Windows use `venv\Scripts\activate`
```

# Glossary of Terms
**Agent**:
An LLM (Large Language Model) equipped with tools and memory, operating with a specific objective in a loop. An agent can perform tasks, interact with other agents, and utilize external tools and memory systems to achieve its goals.
**Swarms**:
A group of more than two agents working together and communicating to accomplish a shared objective. Swarms enable complex, collaborative tasks that leverage the strengths of multiple agents.
**Tool**:
A Python function that is converted into a function call, allowing agents to perform specific actions or access external resources. Tools enhance the capabilities of agents by providing specialized functionalities.
**Memory System**:
A system for managing information retrieval and storage, often implemented as a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system or a memory vector database. Memory systems enable agents to recall previous interactions, store new information, and improve decision-making based on historical data.
**LLM (Large Language Model)**:
A type of AI model designed to understand and generate human-like text. LLMs, such as GPT-3 or GPT-4, are used as the core computational engine for agents.
**System Prompt**:
A predefined prompt that sets the context and instructions for an agent's task. The system prompt guides the agent's behavior and response generation.
**Max Loops**:
The maximum number of iterations an agent will perform to complete its task. This parameter helps control the extent of an agent's processing and ensures tasks are completed efficiently.
**Dashboard**:
A user interface that provides real-time monitoring and control over the agents and their activities. Dashboards can display agent status, logs, and performance metrics.

A setting that enables agents to stream their output incrementally, providing real-time feedback as they process tasks. This feature is useful for monitoring progress and making adjustments on the fly.
**Verbose**:
A setting that controls the level of detail in an agent's output and logging. When verbose mode is enabled, the agent provides more detailed information about its operations and decisions.
**Multi-modal**:
The capability of an agent to process and integrate multiple types of data, such as text, images, and audio. Multi-modal agents can handle more complex tasks that require diverse inputs.
**Autosave**:
A feature that automatically saves the agent's state and progress at regular intervals. Autosave helps prevent data loss and allows for recovery in case of interruptions.
**Flow**:
The predefined sequence in which agents in a swarm interact and process tasks. The flow ensures that each agent's output is appropriately passed to the next agent, facilitating coordinated efforts.
**Long Term Memory**:
A component of the memory system that retains information over extended periods, enabling agents to recall and utilize past interactions and experiences.
**Output Schema**:
A structured format for the output generated by agents, often defined using data models like Pydantic's BaseModel. Output schemas ensure consistency and clarity in the information produced by agents.
By understanding these terms, you can effectively build and orchestrate agents and swarms, leveraging their capabilities to perform complex, collaborative tasks.

## Dockerfile
Creating a Dockerfile for deploying the `swarms` framework to the cloud involves setting up the necessary environment to run your Python application, ensuring all dependencies are installed, and configuring the container to execute the desired tasks. Here's an example Dockerfile that sets up such an environment:
```Dockerfile
# Use an official Python runtime as a parent image
FROM python:3.11-slim
# Set environment variables
ENV PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE 1
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED 1
# Set the working directory in the container
WORKDIR /usr/src/swarm_cloud
# Install system dependencies
RUN apt-get update \
&& apt-get -y install gcc \
&& apt-get clean
# Install Python dependencies
# COPY requirements.txt and pyproject.toml if you're using poetry for dependency management
COPY requirements.txt .
RUN pip install --upgrade pip
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
# Install the 'swarms' package, assuming it's available on PyPI
ENV SWARM_API_KEY=your_swarm_api_key_here
ENV OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_key
RUN pip install swarms
# Copy the rest of the application
COPY . .
# Add entrypoint script if needed
# COPY ./entrypoint.sh .
# RUN chmod +x /usr/src/swarm_cloud/entrypoint.sh
# Expose port if your application has a web interface
# EXPOSE 5000
# Define environment variable for the swarm to work
# Add Docker CMD or ENTRYPOINT script to run the application
# CMD python your_swarm_startup_script.py
# Or use the entrypoint script if you have one
# ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/src/swarm_cloud/entrypoint.sh"]
# If you're using `CMD` to execute a Python script, make sure it's executable
# RUN chmod +x your_swarm_startup_script.py
```
To build and run this Docker image:
1. Replace `requirements.txt` with your actual requirements file or `pyproject.toml` and `poetry.lock` if you're using Poetry.
2. Replace `your_swarm_startup_script.py` with the script that starts your application.
3. If your application requires an API key or other sensitive data, make sure to set these securely, perhaps using environment variables or secrets management solutions provided by your cloud provider.
4. If you have an entrypoint script, uncomment the `COPY` and `RUN` lines for `entrypoint.sh`.
5. If your application has a web interface, uncomment the `EXPOSE` line and set it to the correct port.
Now, build your Docker image:
```sh
docker build -t swarm-cloud .
```
And run it:
```sh
docker run -d --name my-swarm-app swarm-cloud
```
For deploying to the cloud, you'll need to push your Docker image to a container registry (like Docker Hub or a private registry), then pull it from your cloud environment to run it. Cloud providers often have services specifically for this purpose (like AWS ECS, GCP GKE, or Azure AKS). The deployment process will involve:
- Pushing the image to a registry.
- Configuring cloud services to run your image.
- Setting up networking, storage, and other cloud resources.
- Monitoring, logging, and potentially scaling your containers.
Remember to secure sensitive data, use tagged releases for your images, and follow best practices for operating in the cloud.
