Last week OpenAI pushed out an AI agent orchestration framework called Swarm. I liked how lightweight it is compared to other open source LLM frameworks that I find overly complex. Unfortunately, OpenAI positioned it as an experimental framework and on their GitHub page said they wouldn’t be accepting any PRs for enhancements. It doesn’t sound like they’re going to maintain it. That’s too bad because it is a nice approach for developers looking for a simple solution to orchestrating AI agents.

So I forked it and I spent some time making it work with Anthropic and Groq LLMs. The result is Microagent.
