OpenAI Symphony and the New Bottleneck: Orchestrating Agents Well

OpenAI’s new Symphony project is one of the most revealing open-source releases in the current coding-agent cycle.

At the surface level, it is an orchestration framework for autonomous software development runs. It connects to issue trackers, spins up isolated implementation runs, coordinates agents, collects proof of work, and helps land changes once they are verified. It is built in Elixir on the BEAM runtime and is clearly optimized for concurrency and fault tolerance.
