Bob Swarm is the EpochCore unit that runs behind IBM Bob. Twenty-six agents that do real jobs — pricing, forecasting, fraud detection, compliance evidence, drug screening — accelerated by quantum and GPU kernels you can name. One chatbox in. One signed answer out.
Bob is the only thing the user sees. Behind it, the right specialist picks up the prompt, runs the right kernel, and hands one answer back — with a receipt the auditor can verify.
Grouped by what the buyer is buying — not by an internal tier chart. Each card names the kernel that does the work, so when the CIO asks "why isn't this just an LLM wrapper?", the answer is on the page. HERON marks agents that get a true quadratic speedup with the Heron Premium add-on.
One pool. Three line items that bill — each draws from the 26 agents above. Add Heron Premium per pack to unlock real Qiskit Runtime execution on Heron.
Adds priority-queue access to Qiskit Runtime API on Heron R3 (ibm_boston, 156 qubits).
Without the add-on, premium-eligible agents fall back to GPU + simulator paths.
With it, you get the real quadratic speedup — and an independently-verifiable
quantum.ibm.com/jobs
receipt for every quantum run.
Available as a per-pack add-on.
Every claim above is verifiable. Below are the numbers your team can check against their own IBM Cloud invoice and the IBM Quantum jobs portal — without us in the room.
Bob Swarm registers as a single
external_chat
agent in watsonx Orchestrate. Under it, the 26 sub-agents register against their own endpoints.
Bearer auth per tenant. Streaming on by default.
