OpenAI Accused of Stealing 'Swarms' Technology in Multi-Million Dollar Controversy
OpenAI, a leading AI research laboratory, has been accused of intellectual property theft by Swarms Corp, one of its largest customers. The controversy centers around OpenAI's recently released multi-agent LLM framework called "swarms," which Swarms Corp claims is a direct copy of their framework developed over nearly three years.
Key allegations:
has stolen, infringed, and embezzled the swarm framework they recently released on their github.
We at @swarms_corp have been working on the swarms framework for nearly 3 years as of now. We were the first ever multi-agent llm framework and we're as of now the most used… x.com/i/web/status/1…

Name theft: OpenAI allegedly appropriated the "swarms" framework name.
Code infringement: The implementation is claimed to be copied from Swarms Corp.
Methodology replication: Approach and techniques are said to be lifted from Swarms Corp's work.
Syntax duplication: The structure of OpenAI's framework reportedly mirrors Swarms Corp's.
Swarms Corp's background:
Three years of development on their framework
Over 3,000 commits on their GitHub repository
Claims to be "the most used agent framework ever" with 45 million+ agents in production
Serves major financial, insurance, and health organizations globally
The CEO of Swarms Corp expressed deep disappointment, noting his previous advocacy for OpenAI's models. He suggested this action might indicate OpenAI is "starting to take malicious and selfish actions to grow," possibly due to pressure following their latest funding round.
Despite the serious allegations, Swarms Corp has proposed a resolution: OpenAI could invest in Swarms Corp, thereby gaining rights to the name, methodology, and other desired aspects. The CEO emphasized his aim to "advance Humanity" and continue the partnership to "drive forth the agentic revolution."
Implications of the controversy:
Raises questions about intellectual property in AI
Challenges ethics of large tech companies
Highlights the intense competition in the AI industry
Could impact OpenAI's reputation and potentially lead to legal consequences
This situation underscores the delicate balance between rapid innovation and ethical considerations in AI development. It also highlights the need for clearer guidelines and transparency in the AI industry, especially as collaborations and competitions intensify.
As OpenAI has yet to respond publicly to these allegations, the tech world awaits further developments, which could significantly influence the future landscape of AI development and collaboration.
This three-person robotics startup is working with designer Yves Béhar to bring humanoids home
Kind Humanoid, a three-person robotics startup based in Palo Alto, is developing a robot for home care applications. The company, led by Christoph Kohstall, works with renowned designer Yves Béhar to create a unique, non-human-like robot design inspired by surrealist art.
Kind Humanoid aims to differentiate itself by focusing on the home market rather than industrial applications. The team is developing Mona, a robot designed for tasks like elderly care and helping people age in place. They plan to field test a dozen Mona robots early next year.
The startup operates out of Kohstall's garage, embracing a DIY ethos reminiscent of early Silicon Valley. Despite the modest setting, the team is making progress on prototypes, with recent developments bringing their designs closer to Béhar's renderings.
Kind Humanoid is taking a capital-efficient approach, focusing on innovation rather than aggressive fundraising. Kohstall believes that solving the challenges of creating effective home robots requires experimentation and thoughtful development rather than simply throwing money at the problem.
The company's approach and unique design philosophy set it apart in the increasingly crowded humanoid robot market, with a focus on bringing robots into homes rather than industrial settings.
I Thought I’d Hate AI in Home Security. I Couldn’t Have Been More Wrong
Tyler Lacoma, CNET's home security editor, discusses the positive impact of AI in home security systems. He highlights how AI-powered object recognition and smart alerts have improved the functionality and user experience of devices like video doorbells and security cameras. Key points include:
AI algorithms can distinguish between people, packages, and animals, reducing false alarms and providing more relevant notifications.
These features are now widely available and affordable, with many devices under $50 and AI detection services costing $3-$8 per month.
AI in home security helps reduce anxiety by filtering out unnecessary alerts and providing more accurate information about potential threats.
Privacy concerns remain, particularly regarding facial recognition features, but many companies allow users to opt out of data sharing for AI training.
The integration of AI in home security may serve as a model for incorporating AI into daily life without major drawbacks.
Future developments may include more advanced voice recognition and integration with AI assistants for complex security assessments.
Lacoma concludes that while some privacy concerns persist, the balance of utility, control, and privacy in AI-powered home security is currently positive for users.

AI is not just a technological revolution, it's a cognitive revolution. It's pushing us to reexamine our understanding of intelligence, creativity, and consciousness. In doing so, it's opening up new frontiers in philosophy, neuroscience, and even our conception of what it means to be human.
David John Chalmers is an Australian philosopher and cognitive scientist specializing in the areas of the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of language. He is a professor of philosophy and neural science at New York University, as well as co-director of NYU's Center for Mind, Brain and Consciousness.
