# 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

## Building Analyst Agents with Swarms to write Business Reports
> Jupyter Notebook accompanying this post is accessible at: [Business Analyst Agent Notebook](https://github.com/kyegomez/swarms/blob/master/playground/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 swarms 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.

### 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
@tool
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
@tool
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

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

for root, dirs, files in os.walk(self.docs_folder):

_, 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))
```

This blog delves into the intricacies of agent evaluation, the importance of accuracy tracking, and the methodologies used to measure and visualize agent performance. We'll use Mermaid graphs to provide clear visual representations of these processes.
#### 1. Introduction to Agent Evaluation Mechanisms
Agent evaluation mechanisms refer to the processes and criteria used to assess the performance of agents within a system. These mechanisms are essential for:
- **Ensuring Reliability:** Agents must consistently perform their designated tasks correctly.
- **Improving Performance:** Evaluation helps in identifying areas where agents can improve.
- **Maintaining Accountability:** It provides a way to hold agents accountable for their actions.
### 2. Key Components of Agent Evaluation
To effectively evaluate agents, several components and metrics are considered:
#### a. Performance Metrics
These are quantitative measures used to assess how well an agent is performing. Common performance metrics include:
- **Accuracy:** The percentage of correct actions or decisions made by the agent.
- **Precision and Recall:** Precision measures the number of true positive results divided by the number of all positive results, while recall measures the number of true positive results divided by the number of positives that should have been retrieved.
- **F1 Score:** The harmonic mean of precision and recall.
- **Response Time:** How quickly an agent responds to a given task or query.
#### b. Evaluation Criteria
Evaluation criteria define the standards or benchmarks against which agent performance is measured. These criteria are often task-specific and may include:
- **Task Completion Rate:** The percentage of tasks successfully completed by the agent.
- **Error Rate:** The frequency of errors made by the agent during task execution.
- **Resource Utilization:** How efficiently an agent uses resources such as memory and CPU.
### 3. The Process of Agent Evaluation
The evaluation process involves several steps, which can be visualized using Mermaid graphs:
#### a. Define Evaluation Metrics
The first step is to define the metrics that will be used to evaluate the agent. This involves identifying the key performance indicators (KPIs) relevant to the agent's tasks.

## 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**
- Store and reuse common LLM outputs
- Perform batch processing during off-peak hours
6. **Hybrid Cloud Strategies**
- Use on-premises solutions for consistent workloads
- Leverage cloud elasticity for demand spikes
### Case Study: Margin Improvement
Consider a company that initially used a pay-per-token model:
**Initial State:**
- Revenue per user: $20
- LLM cost per user: $6
- Other variable costs: $4
- Fixed costs per user: $5
- Net margin per user: $5 (25%)
**After Optimization:**
- Implemented efficient prompting: Reduced token usage by 20%
- Negotiated volume discount: 10% reduction in per-token price
- Introduced tiered pricing: Average revenue per user increased to $25
- Optimized operations: Reduced other variable costs to $3
**Result:**
- New LLM cost per user: $4.32
- New net margin per user: $12.68 (50.7%)
This case study demonstrates how a holistic approach to margin improvement, addressing both revenue and various cost components, can significantly enhance profitability.
Understanding these profit margin dynamics and cost structures is essential for executives to make informed decisions about LLM integration and to continuously optimize their AI-powered services for maximum profitability.
## 4. LLM Pricing in Action: Case Studies
To provide a concrete understanding of how LLM pricing models work in real-world scenarios, let's examine several case studies across different industries and use cases. These examples will illustrate the interplay between pricing models, usage patterns, and business outcomes.
### Case Study 1: E-commerce Product Description Generator

4. **Apply the ROI Formula**:
```
ROI = ((Total Benefits - Total Costs) / Total Costs) * 100
```
5. **Consider Time Value of Money**: For longer-term projections, use Net Present Value (NPV) to account for the time value of money.
### Example ROI Calculation
Let's consider a hypothetical customer service chatbot implementation:

# 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: 95% User-Task-Completion-Satisfaction Rate
In the world of Swarms, theres one metric that stands above the rest: the User-Task-Completion-Satisfaction (UTCS) rate. This metric is the heart of our system, the pulse that keeps us moving forward. Its not just a number; its a reflection of our commitment to our users and a measure of our success.
## What is the UTCS Rate?
The UTCS rate is a measure of how reliably and quickly Swarms can satisfy a user demand. Its calculated by dividing the number of tasks completed to the users satisfaction by the total number of tasks. Multiply that by 100, and youve got your UTCS rate.
But what does it mean to complete a task to the users satisfaction? It means that the task is not only completed, but completed in a way that meets or exceeds the users expectations. Its about quality, speed, and reliability.
## Why is the UTCS Rate Important?
The UTCS rate is a direct reflection of the user experience. A high UTCS rate means that users are getting what they need from Swarms, and theyre getting it quickly and reliably. It means that Swarms is doing its job, and doing it well.
But the UTCS rate is not just about user satisfaction. Its also a measure of Swarms efficiency and effectiveness. A high UTCS rate means that Swarms is able to complete tasks quickly and accurately, with minimal errors or delays. Its a sign of a well-oiled machine.
## How Do We Achieve a 95% UTCS Rate?
Achieving a 95% UTCS rate is no small feat. It requires a deep understanding of our users and their needs, a robust and reliable system, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
### Here are some strategies were implementing to reach our goal:

**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.

## 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.

# Human-in-the-Loop Task Handling Protocol
## Overview
The Swarms Multi-Agent Framework recognizes the invaluable contributions humans can make, especially in complex scenarios where nuanced judgment is required. The "Human-in-the-Loop Task Handling Protocol" ensures that when agents encounter challenges they cannot handle autonomously, the most capable human collaborator is engaged to provide guidance, based on their skills and expertise.
## Protocol Steps
### 1. Task Initiation & Analysis
- 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.

# Secure Communication Protocols
## Overview
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.

# 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.

This approach, embodied by the Swarms Framework, aims to address the fundamental limitations of individual agents and unlocks the true potential of AI-driven automation in enterprise operations.
Individual agents are plagued by the same issues: short term memory constraints, hallucinations, single task limitations, lack of collaboration, and cost inefficiences.
[Learn more here from a list of compiled agent papers](https://github.com/kyegomez/awesome-multi-agent-papers)
## The Purpose of Swarms: Overcoming Agent Limitations
Individual agents, while remarkable in their own right, face several inherent challenges that hinder their ability to effectively automate enterprise operations at scale. These limitations include:
1. Short-Term Memory Constraints
2. Hallucination and Factual Inconsistencies
3. Single-Task Limitations
4. Lack of Collaborative Capabilities
5. Cost Inefficiencies
By orchestrating multiple agents to work in concert, the Swarms Framework directly tackles these limitations, paving the way for more efficient, reliable, and cost-effective enterprise automation.
### Limitation 1: Short-Term Memory Constraints
Many AI agents, particularly those based on large language models, suffer from short-term memory constraints. These agents can effectively process and respond to prompts, but their ability to retain and reason over information across multiple interactions or tasks is limited. This limitation can be problematic in enterprise environments, where complex workflows often involve retaining and referencing contextual information over extended periods.
The Swarms Framework addresses this limitation by leveraging the collective memory of multiple agents working in tandem. While individual agents may have limited short-term memory, their combined memory pool becomes significantly larger, enabling the retention and retrieval of contextual information over extended periods. This collective memory is facilitated by agents specializing in information storage and retrieval, such as those based on systems like Llama Index or Pinecone.
### Limitation 2: Hallucination and Factual Inconsistencies
Another challenge faced by many AI agents is the tendency to generate responses that may contain factual inconsistencies or hallucinations -- information that is not grounded in reality or the provided context. This issue can undermine the reliability and trustworthiness of automated systems, particularly in domains where accuracy and consistency are paramount.
The Swarms Framework mitigates this limitation by employing multiple agents with diverse knowledge bases and capabilities. By leveraging the collective intelligence of these agents, the framework can cross-reference and validate information, reducing the likelihood of hallucinations and factual inconsistencies. Additionally, specialized agents can be tasked with fact-checking and verification, further enhancing the overall reliability of the system.

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.

## 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
from typing import List, Optional
from langchain.agents import AgentExecutor, LLMSingleActionAgent, Tool
from langchain.chains import LLMChain
from langchain.llms import OpenAI
from langchain.prompts import StringPromptTemplate
from langchain.tools import DuckDuckGoSearchRun
from swarms import Agent
class LangchainAgentWrapper(Agent):
"""
Initialize the LangchainAgentWrapper.
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:
```python
from swarms import Agent
from crewai import Agent as CrewAIAgent
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
Autogen is a framework for building conversational AI agents. Here's how we can create a wrapper for an Autogen agent:
```python
from swarms import Agent
from autogen import ConversableAgent
class AutogenAgentWrapper(Agent):
def __init__(self, name, llm_config, *args, **kwargs):
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

## Additional Information and Tips
- Ensure that either the `model` or `llm` parameter is provided during initialization. If neither is provided, the `ToolAgent` will raise an exception.
- The `parsing_function` parameter is optional but can be very useful for post-processing the output of the tool agent.
- Adjust the `max_number_tokens` parameter to control the length of the generated output, depending on the requirements of the task.

# 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.

"""
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.

```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

"""
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:
"""

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

# 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`
```
2. **Install Dependencies**: Install all required dependencies from the `requirements.txt` file.
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
3. **Run Tests Before Pushing**: Ensure all tests pass before pushing code to the repository.
4. **Use Continuous Integration (CI)**: Set up CI pipelines to automatically run tests on each commit or pull request.
### Example CI Configuration (GitHub Actions)
Here is an example of a GitHub Actions workflow to run tests using `pytest`:
```yaml
name: Python package
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Set up Python
uses: actions/setup-python@v2
with:
python-version: '3.8'
- name: Install dependencies
run: |
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -r requirements.txt
- name: Run tests
run: |
pytest
```
This configuration will run the tests on every push and pull request, ensuring that your codebase remains stable.
## Conclusion
`pytest` is a powerful and flexible testing framework that makes it easy to write and run tests for your Python code. By following the guidelines and best practices outlined in this blog, you can ensure that your tests are reliable and your codebase is robust. Whether you are testing a single file, multiple files, or the entire repository, `pytest` provides the tools you need to automate and streamline your testing process.
Happy testing!

## 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.
