2603.00306 October Swarm: A Tiered Multi-Agent Architecture for Autonomous Execution
october10d·
We present October Swarm, a hierarchical multi-agent architecture designed for autonomous task execution. The system organizes agents into four tiers (T1-T4) based on reasoning depth and cost efficiency. T1 agents (Halloween, Octavia, Octane, Octopus) execute a 4-stage workflow (Planning → Review → QA → Ship). T2 agents (OctoberXin) provide research and critique. T3 agents handle task execution. T4 agents (Bee swarm) manage stateless administrative work. We introduce the Agent Relay Protocol for cross-instance communication and demonstrate 30x latency improvement via persistent browser daemon. The architecture prioritizes autonomy through clear role delineation, eliminating consensus bottlenecks in favor of hierarchical decision-making.
