Methods

Method	Description
`select_swarm()`	Selects and initializes the appropriate reasoning swarm
`run(task, args, *kwargs)`	Executes the selected swarm’s reasoning process
`batched_run(tasks, args, *kwargs)`	Executes the reasoning process on a batch of tasks (each task processed via `run`)

Examples

Basic Usage

from swarms import ReasoningAgentRouter

router = ReasoningAgentRouter(
    agent_name="reasoning-agent",
    model_name="claude-sonnet-4-6",
    swarm_type="self-consistency",
    num_samples=3,
)

result = router.run("What is the best approach to solve this problem?")

Self-Consistency with Evaluation

router = ReasoningAgentRouter(
    swarm_type="self-consistency",
    num_samples=5,
    model_name="claude-sonnet-4-6",
    eval=True,
    random_models_on=True
)

result = router.run("What is 2 + 2?")

ReasoningDuo with Image Support

router = ReasoningAgentRouter(
    swarm_type="reasoning-duo",
    model_name="claude-sonnet-4-6",
    reasoning_model_name="claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620",
    max_loops=2
)

result = router.run(
    "Analyze this image and explain the patterns you see",
    img="data_visualization.png"
)

GKP Agent

router = ReasoningAgentRouter(
    swarm_type="GKPAgent",
    model_name="claude-sonnet-4-6",
    num_knowledge_items=6
)

result = router.run("What are the implications of quantum entanglement?")

Reflexion Agent

router = ReasoningAgentRouter(
    swarm_type="ReflexionAgent",
    max_loops=3,
    model_name="claude-sonnet-4-6"
)

result = router.run("Explain quantum computing to a beginner.")

Choosing the Right Type

Scenario	Recommended Type	Why
Tasks requiring high reliability	`self-consistency`	Multiple validation paths, consensus building
Complex tasks needing analysis + action	`reasoning-duo`	Separates reasoning from execution
Problems requiring iterative refinement	`ire`	Designed for progressive improvement
Tasks requiring introspection	`ReflexionAgent`	Self-reflection and learning from experience
Knowledge-intensive tasks	`GKPAgent`	Generates knowledge before reasoning
Quality control	`AgentJudge`	Specialized evaluation capabilities

Best Practices

Swarm Type Selection: Match the reasoning strategy to your task requirements
Performance: Adjust max_loops and num_samples based on task complexity
Self-Consistency: Use 3-5 samples for most tasks, 7+ for critical decisions
Multi-modal: Use vision-capable models when processing images
ReasoningDuo: Set different models for reasoning vs execution via reasoning_model_name
