How to Build Multi-Agent Systems with Qwen3
Introduction: What Are Multi-Agent AI Systems?
A multi-agent system (MAS) allows several AI agents to:
-
Reason independently
-
Communicate and share goals
-
Coordinate and complete tasks together
-
Use different tools or environments
With Qwen3 + LangChain or CrewAI, you can now build powerful agent networks—chatbots, coders, researchers, schedulers—that collaborate like a real team.
1. Why Use Qwen3 for Multi-Agent Workflows?
| Feature | Qwen3 Support ✅ |
|---|---|
| Agent planning & CoT | ✅ Excellent |
| CLI + tool integration | ✅ Native (Coder) |
| Long context memory | ✅ 72B supports up to 32K tokens |
| Open-source + private deploy | ✅ Yes |
| Compatible with LangChain/CrewAI | ✅ Full support |
2. Multi-Agent Setup with LangChain
Tools Required:
-
langchain -
qwenmodels (e.g. Qwen3-Coder, Qwen1.5-14B) -
Optional:
vllm,FastAPI,Chroma, orCrewAI
Install:
bashpip install langchain openai accelerate peft
Basic Agent Structure
pythonfrom langchain.agents import initialize_agent, Tool from langchain.llms import OpenAI tools = [Tool(name="Search", func=search_func, description="Google search")] planner = initialize_agent(tools, llm, agent="zero-shot-react-description") coder = initialize_agent(tools, llm, agent="chat-zero-shot-react-description")
3. Agent Roles – A Sample Architecture
| Agent | Role Description | Tools Used |
|---|---|---|
| Planner | Decomposes tasks into subtasks | LangChain Agent |
| Researcher | Gathers and summarizes information | RAG / PDF tools |
| Coder | Writes and tests code solutions | Qwen3-Coder CLI agent |
| Presenter | Writes final reports or presentations | Markdown formatter |
Example: "Build an app to visualize NASA data"
-
Planner: Breaks into search, code, test, and present
-
Researcher: Finds NASA API documentation
-
Coder: Connects to API, generates UI
-
Presenter: Summarizes steps + results for the user
4. Agents That Talk to Each Other
Use LangChain’s AgentExecutor or CrewAI to let agents pass data:
pythonfrom crewai import Crew, Agent planner = Agent(role="Planner", goal="Break down the user task") coder = Agent(role="Coder", goal="Write working Python code") crew = Crew(agents=[planner, coder]) crew.run("Build a dashboard using COVID-19 public API.")
✅ CrewAI supports:
-
Memory between agents
-
Iterative collaboration
-
Role-based behavior
5. Add Memory, Feedback & Autonomy
| Component | Tool/Library |
|---|---|
| Agent Memory | ConversationBufferMemory |
| Context Sharing | LangChain Shared Memory |
| Error Handling | ReAct loops or correction chains |
| Output Validation | Output parsers / regex |
Memory Example:
pythonfrom langchain.memory import ConversationBufferMemory memory = ConversationBufferMemory(memory_key="chat_history", return_messages=True) agent = initialize_agent(..., memory=memory)
6. Deploying Multi-Agent Qwen3 Systems
| Stack Element | Recommended Tool |
|---|---|
| LLM runtime | vLLM or Transformers pipeline |
| Agent framework | LangChain, CrewAI |
| Tool plugins | Web search, code execution, database read/write |
| Deployment | FastAPI, Docker, local VPS or on-prem |
You can also expose agents via REST API endpoints for frontend use.
7. Real-World Use Cases
| Application Area | Multi-Agent Example |
|---|---|
| Research Automation | Researcher + Planner + Report Generator |
| Legal Assistants | Case summarizer + Compliance bot + Contract parser |
| Developer Tools | CLI Coder + Tester + Debugger |
| Sales + CRM | Lead Generator + Email Writer + Follow-up Bot |
| Educational Tutors | Content Planner + Quiz Generator + Feedback Bot |
