I built a 17-agent AI swarm on my phone — here's how
Description and use
<h2> I built a 17-agent AI swarm on my phone — here's how </h2> <p>Okay, buckle up. This is a bit of a rabbit hole, but a <em>really</em> fun one. I’ve spent the last few weeks building and running a swarm of 17 independent AI agents, all contained within and operating <em>on my phone</em>. Yes, you read that right. No cloud servers, no expensive GPUs. Just a Pixel 7 Pro and a lot of Python. </p> <p>This wasn’t about solving world hunger (though, hey, maybe someday!), it was about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with on-device AI and exploring emergent behaviour within a limited comp
