Today, Swarms' price surge has caught attention again, and the entire community is buzzing around two topics: the 'anxiety' rumors surrounding AI16Z founder Shaw, and the suspicion that OpenAI's Sama may have infringed on the Swarm multi-agent framework. Some speculate that the behind-the-scenes driver of this market stimulation may be the emergence of AI Agent based on Mcs. This Agent not only answers medical knowledge questions but is also referred to as the most accessible and practical delivery product within the Swarms architecture. The founder behind it, Kye Gomez, a 'genius youth' at just 20 years old, dropped out of high school and took three years to finalize the multi-agent coordination framework Swarms, running 45 million agents to serve the financial, insurance, and medical fields, showcasing hardcore strength.

Roller coaster trend

After the Swarms token was issued on December 18, it quickly surged to a market cap peak of 74.2 million dollars on the 21st. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and the market cap plummeted like a roller coaster to a bottom of about 6 million dollars.

It then fluctuated around 13 million dollars until the 27th, when it started to rebound, rising from a low of 12 million dollars to 30 million dollars, and then surging nearly 3 times to close to 70 million dollars, just shy of breaking the previous high. Today's trading volume is also comparable, directly skyrocketing to 60.8 million dollars; this stimulating market trend has led many netizens to feel like they are on a roller coaster experience in the crypto world.

The future code behind Swarms

Behind the roller coaster-like price trend is a group of AI agents working together like a tightly-knit team, collaborating to tackle complex challenges. Collective intelligence and coordination capabilities far exceed the limitations of a single agent, which is the goal pursued by Kye Gomez's Swarms project. However, creativity and vision alone are not enough; what truly makes all this possible is the core technology that Swarms has launched—Swarm Node (SNAI). It can be said that SNAI is the 'nervous center' of the AI agent world, providing strong support and assurance for seamless collaboration among agents.

Founder of 'Genius Youth'

The core founder behind Swarms, Kye Gomez, is hailed as a 'genius youth' in the field of artificial intelligence, demonstrating astonishing strength at the age of just 20. Although he dropped out of high school, he developed the multi-agent coordination framework Swarms in just three years and successfully operated 45 million AI agents, providing high-quality services across multiple industries such as finance, insurance, and healthcare, showcasing the impressive strength of youth.

In his research on autonomous and collaborative AI agents, he not only developed 'super-efficient SSM + MoE models' and 'hybrid flow models' but also explored the potential of AI alignment in the fields of biology and nanotechnology. In fact, among Kye's many projects, Swarms is just one of his quality projects, and upon deeper understanding, it is discovered that he has many other outstanding projects.

For example, Agora serves as an open-source AI research laboratory, focusing on the integration of AI with biology and nanotechnology. Pegasus explores natural language processing and embedding models, and it also participated in the open-source implementation of AlphaFold 3. Kye's resume and achievements signify the rise of a true technological innovator.

Swarms AI agent orchestration framework and core functions

Next, we will analyze the Swarms project of the genius youth, which aims to develop and promote an enterprise-grade production-ready multi-agent orchestration framework. Simply put, the core function of Swarms is to allow multiple AI agents to collaborate like a team, using collective intelligence to solve complex problems. It not only supports seamless integration with external AI services and APIs to extend functionality but also provides agents with nearly unlimited long-term memory to enhance contextual understanding, while allowing customizable workflows. For enterprise-level needs, Swarms possesses high reliability and scalability, and it ensures optimal performance through the automatic optimization of language model parameters. In this way, Swarms can leverage collective intelligence among agents to tackle complex challenges more easily than a single agent.

The Swarms project stands out with its powerful technological barriers and market performance. Its AI agent orchestration framework has been providing efficient solutions for numerous enterprises on its official website after nearly three years of stable operation. From data processing to customer service and report generation, Swarms significantly improves business efficiency through automation while significantly reducing operating costs, demonstrating its strength. As an open-source project, Swarms has also sparked enthusiastic attention in the developer community, with over 2.1k stars on GitHub, gaining wisdom and support from numerous developers, thus confirming the maturity and innovation of the technology.

SNAI

Twitter users seem to agree that the next stage for AI agents is collective collaboration (Agent Swarms), achieving more efficient work through communication and cooperation among multiple agents. This approach allows agents from different frameworks to communicate and leverage their specialized advantages to perform better in specific tasks and scenarios.

Swarm Node (SNAI) serves as an aid to implement Agent Swarms, a serverless infrastructure specifically designed to support the concept of Swarm. SNAI addresses all technical challenges of running AI agents, allowing users to deploy, coordinate, and manage agents easily through Python scripts without worrying about hardware and infrastructure costs. It also supports chained interactions, scheduling, and multi-language operations, providing new possibilities for small creators who cannot run agents around the clock or lack hardware support.

Users do not need to pay server fees, only for the actual execution time used, making SNAI more efficient than other subscription-based solutions. The uniqueness of SNAI lies in that its agents are not isolated but can collaborate in a 'chained' manner to form a Swarm.

The role of Swarm is to distribute tasks to different agents, with each agent focusing on a specific task and passing the results to the next agent upon completion. Through REST API and Python SDK, other applications can easily integrate SNAI, and users can flexibly coordinate the behavior of their Swarm (e.g., when to run and which data to use).

But that's not all; as the SNAI framework is still in the early stages of development, several new features will be added in the future, including data storage (a mini cloud database that allows agents to share selected data), task scheduling (running agents at specific times), and an agent library (ready-made agents created by the community for running, customization, and optimization). In addition, SNAI will also achieve multi-language compatibility, currently providing a Python client that simplifies API operations, with plans to support agents deployed in languages such as Go, Rust, TypeScript, C#, PHP, and more. The community has already started developing a TypeScript client, with plans to support more languages in the future.

Just this week, there have already been over 500 builds—these 'dependencies' are used to optimize the execution efficiency of AI agents. Over 10,000 executions—instances where agents pause after starting, SNAI charges only for active runtime, greatly enhancing the flexibility of agent operations.

Core features of SNAI include support for serverless operation of agents, allowing developers to integrate agents into codebases, realizing chained collaboration and interaction coordination among agents, while adopting a pay-per-use model, significantly reducing infrastructure costs and lowering the barrier to entry for AI agent infrastructure.
