Swarms Rust claims 130-440x faster startup than LangChain, LangGraph and CrewAI
KyeGomezB · x · 2026-10-01
The Swarms team released Swarms-Rust 0.3.0, a Rust-based multi-agent orchestration framework, and benchmarked it against LangChain, LangGraph, and CrewAI using the same model, prompts, and tasks:
- 130x–440x faster startup
- 25x–68x lower memory usage
- 10x–88x less framework overhead per LLM call
Positioned as an enterprise-grade, production-ready framework, it leverages Rust's zero-cost abstractions and concurrency safety to minimize overhead. Still early in development; open-sourced on GitHub as The-Swarm-Corporation/swarms-rs.
