OpenAI Swarm is a versatile orchestration library enabling parallel execution and consensus-driven decision-making across multiple AI agents. It broadcasts tasks to independent model instances, aggregates their outputs, and applies configurable voting or ranking schemes to select the highest-scoring result. Developers can fine-tune agent counts, voting thresholds, and model combinations to enhance reliability, mitigate individual bias, and refine solution quality. Swarm supports chaining responses, iterative feedback loops, and detailed reasoning logs for auditability, elevating performance on summarization, classification, code generation, and complex reasoning tasks through collective intelligence.

Hive is a robust AI agent orchestration platform built for Node.js environments. It provides a modular system for defining, managing, and executing multiple AI agents in parallel or sequential workflows. Each agent can be configured with specific roles, prompt templates, memory stores, and external tool integrations such as APIs or plugins. Hive streamlines communication paths between agents, enabling data sharing, decision-making, and task delegation. Its extensible design allows developers to implement custom utilities, monitor execution logs, and deploy agents at scale. Hive also includes features like error handling, retry policies, and performance optimizations to ensure reliable automation. With minimal setup, teams can prototype complex AI-driven services, including chatbots, data analysis pipelines, and content generators.
