Recently, AI16Z founder Shaw launched Fud on Swarms, an AI Agent project on the X platform. Its X platform stated that the founder of Swarms is a liar and cannot write code.

Affected by this news, Swarms’ project token SWARMS fell by more than 20% in 24 hours, but it still maintained an increase of more than 400% in 7 days. The current market value of the token Nearly $300 million.

In addition to the positive attack by the founder of AI16Z, which caused quite a stir in public opinion. During this period, Swarms and AI16Z have been constantly controversial on Twitter, and their differences in technical architecture and applications have also triggered extensive discussions.

Although the AI ​​Agent track is currently a blue ocean, the competition is also very fierce, especially the leading Virtuals Protocol and AI16Z ecological projects occupy more than 50% of the market value of this track. For a project that does not rely on these two "AI Agent groups", how did Swarms break out of the siege? Is there anything innovative and unique about the project itself? And is its founder Kye Gomez really a liar who can't even write code, as Shaw said?

Swarms from Web2 to Web3

Swarms was launched in 2022 by Kye Gomez, currently 20 years old. The developer's multi-agent LLM framework uses intelligent orchestration and efficient collaboration to allow multiple AI Agents to work together like a team to solve complex business operation requirements. The framework provides powerful expansion capabilities, supports seamless integration with external AI services and APIs, and provides long-term memory functions for AI Agents to enhance context understanding.

In its latest white paper, it explains in detail the concept and uniqueness of Swarms. According to the content of its white paper, Swarms is a multi-agent collaborative AI Agent, which is different from individual intelligence. Although this kind of individual agent is powerful in large prediction models such as GPT-4, it has significant limitations in handling complex tasks. Multi-intelligent collaborative AI Agents such as Swarms allow agents to collaborate with each other and professionally divide labor. Each agent focuses on the tasks it is good at, thereby improving overall efficiency.

Swarms' algorithm is designed to solve many challenges in multi-agent collaboration, such as task allocation, resource management and coordination. Through the Swarms algorithm, agents can quickly exchange information and automatically assign tasks according to task requirements and their own capabilities to ensure that each task is assigned the most appropriateThe combination can only be carried out by the body.

It can be seen that the core concept of its operation draws on collective intelligence systems such as bee colonies and ant colonies in nature, and introduces this efficient collaboration model into the field of artificial intelligence, emphasizing the seamlessness between multiple AI agents. Collaborate to handle complex tasks.

The token of the project is SWRAMS, which is a universal currency for transactions and collaboration between agents. Agents can use SWRAMS coins to pay service fees, obtain data resources, participate in market transactions, etc.

In the design of this project, the Swarm algorithm provides key support for agent collaboration, and SWARMS currency, as the universal currency of the agent economy, has the potential to promote agent transactions and encourage agents to participate in economic activities. irreplaceable role. According to the latest news released by the project team, in the upcoming new features, users can use SWARMS tokens to buy and sell agents.

According to Kye Gomez’s statement, currently, more than 45 million AI Agents have been born thanks to the Swarms development framework, providing efficient solutions for many industries such as finance, insurance, and medical care.

At first, the project was just a Web2 AI Agent project. According to the founder, the project has been running for three years. The project will only issue coins on December 18, 2024, which means that at this time, the project has officially moved from Web2 to Web3.

This project currently has a very high community voice among many AI Agents, which is inseparable from the project concept and innovation of its products. At present, people in the AI ​​industry generally believe that the next AI Agent The stage is Agent Swarms, which achieves more efficient work through communication and cooperation among multiple agents. This approach allows agents from different frameworks to interact and leverage their expertise to perform better in specific tasks and scenarios. And Swarms has stepped on the development trend of this billion.

Another reason that makes its project so popular and difficult to ignore is that the founder of the project, Kye Gomez, is a very controversial figure.

The controversy behind the genius founder

Kye Gomez, the core founder of Swarms, is known as the "genius boy" in the field of artificial intelligence ”, in his self-report, he stated that he dropped out of high school, and his experience of developing Swarms and successfully running 45 million AI Agents within three years attracted people’s attention and curiosity.

Not only did it start up the Swarms project, but according to data, it also has other outstanding projects and research results in the field of AI. For example, in Agora, an open source AI research laboratory, he has set his sights on the combination of AI, biology, and nanotechnology., providing technical support for the intersection of these two frontier fields. In addition, he developed Pegasus, a project focusing on natural language processing and embedding models; at the same time, he also participated in the open source implementation of AlphaFold3, providing tool support for research in the field of biology.

In his autobiography, Kye Gomez wrote, "I grew up in Hialeah, one of the worst cities in Florida. It was a fourth world hell with all kinds of crime. I never After high school. I was kicked out of three high schools. I just had an office in Doral, a small town in Miami. I mastered PyTorch Skills that enable research papers to be implemented without code because researchers in large academia and large industry don't want to open source their code

Then when some of these implementations become popular because they actually work. , such as Tree of Thoughts, I have been brutally attacked by AI elitists who want all the attention and credit that does not belong to their work, such as now the people at Tree of Thoughts and OpenAI

I have implemented hundreds of research paper models for free since last year with no reward other than endless verbal harassment from the elite and their rulers.”

< p>In his self-report, we can see that Kye Gomez, as a young man from a "small town", has high talents, but over a long period of time, through his talents, he has become a leader in AI, a world where elites are everywhere. The track gets its own place.

This passage may explain why Swarms has been deeply involved in Web2, but recently switched to Web3. Web3 can also enable it to realize "realization of talents." Facts have proved that its choice was correct. Swarms came out and its current market value has reached US$300 million.

According to media reports, Kye Gomez began learning programming at the age of 10 and applied his newly acquired programming knowledge to games. The game also allowed Gomez to finally understand artificial intelligence. Gomez has told the media that at age 13, he created his first artificial intelligence model to hack his mother's Gmail account to obtain PlayStation codes to make purchases on the platform's store. Since then, Gomez has become obsessed with artificial intelligence and data science. He also previously developed a Slack-based artificial intelligence assistant through APAC AI.

The first time Kye Gomez left the circle was not because of the products he released, but because Kye Gomez questioned Open AI’s new products for plagiarizing Swarms. In 2024, openAI released an open source product— —Swarm framework for building and orchestratingand deploying multi-agent systems. Seeing the product, Kye Gomez said, “The Swarms framework is the first-ever production-grade multi-agent orchestration framework. OpenAI stole our name, code, and methods. Everything from the syntax of the agent structure to the Swarm class object. All come from our code base.

However, Kye Gomez publicly questioned Open AI’s theft, but it did not arouse public support for him. Some netizens dug up his criminal record and said that they had published a series of comments on Github from both sides. README posted on Judging from the documents, it is clear that OpenAI is more reliable. Public opinion generally indicates that Kye Gomez is plagiarizing and is suspected of plagiarism. Open AI has not responded to the question of plagiarism.

The dispute between Swarms and AI16Z

Facing the fast-growing project of Swarms, Shaw, the founder of AI16Z, could not sit still. He said on X that the founder of Swarms is a liar, and He can't write code. However, netizens are not impressed by Shaw's remarks, and they are more asking Shaw to "take care of himself".

At the moment, the AI16Z ecological project is undoubtedly AI. The founder of the Agent circuit, Shaw, also has enough voice in the industry and is known as the godfather of AI.

His doubts about Kye Gomez undoubtedly triggered heated discussions. . And the discussion in the community is not just about Kye. Gomez itself involves more comparisons between the two products, mainly focusing on Eliza and Swarms. Eliza is an open source modular architecture developed by Shaw, which is mainly used to create functions that can interact with users. AI Agent that seamlessly interacts with the blockchain system is designed based on this framework, and AI16Z itself has become an AI. Representative projects of the Agent framework.

The most significant difference between the two products is that Eliza is aimed at a single AI Agent, while Swarms is aimed at coordination between multiple AI Agents. To explain the difference between them for developers in more popular terms, Eliza is an AI Agent development framework. Developers can only quickly build an AI Agent project according to this framework, while Swarms is for developers. We provide some tools to create AI with Swarms Agent developers can use these tools and experience to create their own AI Agent projects that are not highly unified. Swarms is aimed at collaboration between AI Agents.

It can be said that Eliza is the present of blockchain AI Agents, while Swarms is the future of AI Agent development. This is also the imaginative part of Swarms.
