Durable Swarm – A Framework for Building Reliable AI Agents
Hi HN! Today me and qianli_cs want to share a new open-source project we've been working on called Durable Swarm. It's a drop-in replacement for OpenAI’s Swarm that augments it with durable execution to make your agentic workflows resilient to failures, so that if they are interrupted or restarted, they automatically resume from their last completed steps. https://github.com/dbos-inc/durable-swarm We believe that as multi-agent workflows become more common, longer-running, and more interactive, it's important to make them reliable. If an agent spends hours waiting for…

In plain words
Durable Swarm is an open-source framework that works as a replacement for OpenAI's Swarm, adding reliable execution to AI agent workflows. It allows multi-agent systems to automatically resume from their last completed steps if interrupted or restarted, making long-running agentic workflows resilient to failures. The framework is designed for developers building complex, interactive multi-agent systems that need to withstand transient interruptions without requiring extensive rearchitecting.

Augment Swarm with durable execution to help you build reliable and scalable multi-agent systems. - dbos-inc/durable-swarm
DurableSwarm is now replaced by the DBOS Durable OpenAI Agents SDK integration, which is a production-ready evolution of DurableSwarm. We recommend migrating to the Agents SDK for all production use cases. This repository augments OpenAI's Swarm with durable execution to help you build reliable multi-agent systems. Durable Swarm is a drop-in replacement for Swarm that makes your agentic workflows resilient to any failure , so that if they are interrupted or restarted, they automatically resume from their last completed steps. Under the hood, it uses DBOS to persist your agentic workflows' execution state (which workflows are currently executing and which steps they've completed) in a…from github.com

Evolving Agents Framework2025 · github.com · ▲139Hey HN, I've been working on an open-source framework for creating AI agents that evolve, communicate, and collaborate to solve complex tasks. The Evolving Agents Framework allows agents to: Reuse, evolve, or create new agents dynamically based on semantic similarity Communicate and delegate tasks to other specialized agents Continuously improve by learning from past executions Define workflows in YAML, making it easy to orchestrate agent interactions Search for relevant tools and agents using OpenAI embeddings Support multiple AI frameworks (BeeAI, etc.) Current Status & Roadmap This is…

20+ Claude Code agents coordinating on real work (open source)Feb 2026 · github.com · ▲53Single-agent LLMs suck at long-running complex tasks. We’ve open-sourced a multi-agent orchestrator that we’ve been using to handle long-running LLM tasks. We found that single LLM agents tend to stall, loop, or generate non-compiling code, so we built a harness for agents to coordinate over shared context while work is in progress. How it works: 1. Orchestrator agent that manages task decomposition 2. Sub-agents for parallel work 3. Subscriptions to task state and progress 4. Real-time sharing of intermediate discoveries between agents We tested this on a Putnam-level math problem, but the…
kassette – Durable agent workflows backed by object storageJul 2026 · github.com · ▲9Agent runs often fail after expensive model calls and executing tools that have real-world side effects. This problem is made even worse by how common it is to deploy agents to serverless environments. When your agent dies, it needs to be restarted, but doing so safely isn't easy and everyone building agents has to solve this same problem of durability. The stack you're running probably already has half of what you need for durable execution already though, ie, a queue or job runner that can invoke work at least once. kassette gives you the other half by journaling completed steps to object…
