This article details a coding implementation of ClawTeam, an open-source Agent Swarm Intelligence framework. It demonstrates how to orchestrate multi-agent systems using OpenAI function calling, focusing on a leader agent that decomposes tasks, specialized worker agents for execution, a shared task board with dependency resolution, and an inter-agent messaging system. The implementation is designed to run seamlessly in Colab, requiring only an OpenAI API key, and showcases key components like task management, agent communication, and team registry. The tutorial provides a practical example of building and running a multi-agent swarm.
This position paper addresses the growing memory demands of multi-agent systems powered by large language models (LLMs). It frames multi-agent memory as a computer architecture problem, drawing parallels to traditional computer systems where memory hierarchy and bandwidth are critical bottlenecks. The authors distinguish between shared and distributed memory paradigms for agents and propose a three-layer memory hierarchy – I/O, cache, and memory – tailored for agentic systems. Key challenges identified include the need for protocols for cache sharing and memory access, and, crucially, establishing multi-agent memory consistency to ensure coherent and reliable operation.
