autogen-agi

AutoGen AGI focuses on advancing the AutoGen framework for multi-agent conversational systems, with an eye towards characteristics of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). This project introduces modifications to AutoGen, enhancing group chat dynamics among autonomous agents and increasing their proficiency in robustly handling complex tasks. The aim is to explore and incrementally advance agent behaviors, aligning them more closely with elements reminiscent of AGI.

Features

Enhanced Group Chat 💬: Modified AutoGen classes for advanced group chat functionalities.
Agent Council 🧙: Utilizes a council of agents for decision-making and speaker/actor selection. Based on a prompting technique explored in this blog post.
Conversation Continuity 🔄: Supports loading and continuation of chat histories.
Agent Team Awareness 👥: Each agent is aware of its role and the roles of its peers, enhancing team-based problem-solving.
Advanced RAG 📚: Built in Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) leveraging RAG-fusion and llm re-ranking implemented via llama_index.
Domain Discovery 🔍: Built in domain discovery for knowledge outside of llm training data.
Custom Agents 🌟: A growing list of customized agents.

Demo Transcript 📜

In the following link you can see some example output of the demo task, which is to get a team of agents to write and execute another team of autogen agents:

WARNING ⚠️

This project leverages agents that have access to execute code locally. In addition it is based on the extended context window of gpt-4-turbo, which can be costly. Proceed at your own risk.

Installation 🛠️

clone the project:

git clone git@github.com:metamind-ai/autogen-agi.git
cd autogen-agi

(optional) create a conda environment:

conda create --name autogen-agi python=3.11
conda activate autogen-agi

install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

add environment variables
- copy .env.example to .env and fill in your values
```
cp .env.example .env
```
- copy OAI_CONFIG_LIST.json.example to OAI_CONFIG_LIST.json and fill in your OPENAI_API_KEY (this will most likely be needed for the example task)
```
cp OAI_CONFIG_LIST.json.example OAI_CONFIG_LIST.json
```

All set!! 🎉✨

Getting Started 🚀

To attempt to reproduce the functionality seen in the demo:

python autogen_modified_group_chat.py

If you would first like to see an example of the research/domain discovery functionality:

python example_research.py

If you want to see an example of the RAG functionality:

python example_rag.py

If you want to compare the demo functionality to standard autogen:

python autogen_standard_group_chat.py

Methodology 🔍

The evolution of this project has kept to a simple methodology so far. Mainly:

Test increasingly complex tasks.
Observe the current limitations of the agents/framework.
Add specific agents/features to overcome those limitations.
Generalize features to be more scalable.

For an example of a future possible evolution: discover what team of agents seems most successful at accomplishing more and more complex tasks, then provide those agent prompts few-shot learning examples in a dynamic agent generation prompt.

TODO 📝

Expand research and discovery to support more resources (such as arxiv) and select the resource dynamically.
Support chat history overflow. This would reflect a MemGPT like system where the overflow history would stay summarized in the context with relevant overflow data pulled in (via RAG) as needed.
If possible, support smaller context windows and open source LLMs.
Add ability to dynamically inject agents as needed.
Add ability to spawn off agent teams as needed.
Add support for communication and resource sharing between agent teams.
