Forge Swarm creates specialist crews on demand and keeps their execution tied to the right budget, permissions, and runtime guardrails.
Swarm is the focused product surface for multi-agent execution inside Forge Foundry. It is where specialist agents are created, coordinated, and retired as work moves through a complex task.
Swarm is bundled inside paid Forge subscriptions, but the engines behind it can still be addressed pay-per-use by non-subscribers, autonomous agents, and enterprise customers.
These are the main runtime behaviors that make Swarm a distinct product instead of just another Foundry bullet point.
Forge Swarm lets a lead agent spin up specialist agents with clear roles, budgets, and escalation paths instead of forcing every task through one monolithic worker.
Agents can spawn for a task, finish the work, and retire cleanly so the runtime only scales when a job actually needs parallel specialist execution.
Each delegation inherits the relevant permissions, billing attribution, and runtime constraints, keeping multi-agent execution aligned with the parent account.
Swarm now has its own product page and inherits the unified Forge access model.
If you subscribe to Forge, Swarm is included with the managed engine layer and available through the dashboard without a separate add-on purchase.
External agents and non-subscribers can still pay for Swarm-backed execution through the engine pricing and machine-payment rails when they need only metered access.
Enterprise buyers can keep direct billing, procurement controls, and team-specific policies while still using Swarm as a managed surface.
