A new open-source method for getting AI
to do things on your behalf
OpenAI has released a new AI technology called the Swarm Framework. This open-source project marks a new milestone in the ongoing AI gold rush.
The framework offers developers a comprehensive set of tools for creating multi-agent AI systems that can complete tasks and goals while cooperating autonomously.
The launch is a surprisingly low-key release that will have profound effects on how we interact with AI in the future. Although, OpenAI makes it clear this is just a research and educational experiment — but then, they said that about ChatGPT in 2022.
It gives us a glimpse at a future version of ChatGPT where you can ask the AI a question and it can go off and search multiple sources, coming back with a comprehensive answer. It could also perform tasks on different websites or in the real world on your behalf.
A quiet revolution in AI technology
There’s a quiet revolution happening in the backrooms of the AI business, and it will surprise a lot of people when it arrives. We’ve had a glimpse of it recently, but the full impact is still to come. And no, it’s not that mystical shimmer of AGI that everyone seems to be focusing on, but instead a different kind of heading.
Deep in the bowels of AI Inc., the boffins are beavering away on creating cooperative AI agents — that is systems that work together to get tasks done over some time, rather than offer instant answers as with today’s chatbots. So what’s the big deal?
Well to understand why this matters…
