OpenAI Open-Sources Swarm: Lightweight Multi-Agent Orchestration Framework

OpenAI has suddenly open-sourced Swarm, a lightweight multi-agent orchestration framework designed for education and experimentation. Its core concepts are Handoff (task handover) and Routines (routine procedures), enabling developers to quickly grasp the core mechanisms of multi-agent collaboration. However, OpenAI explicitly states that Swarm is not a production-grade framework.
