代理(Agent)指能自主感知环境并采取行动实现目标的智能体,即AI作为一个人或一个组织的代表,进行某种特定行为和交易,降低一个人或组织的工作复杂程度,减少工作量和沟通成本。
目前,我们在探索Agent的应用方向,借此机会调研学习了一下现在主流的Agent框架,这篇文章也是我们调研过程的记录。
截止至今日,开源的Agent应用可以说是百花齐放,文章也是挑选了热度和讨论度较高的19类Agent,基本能覆盖主流的Agent框架,每个类型都做了一个简单的summary、作为一个参考供大家学习。

工程实现上可以拆分出四大块核心模块:推理、记忆、工具、行动
目前Agent主流的决策模型是ReAct框架,也有一些ReAct的变种框架,以下是两种框架的对比。
ReAct=少样本prompt + Thought + Action + Observation 。是调用工具、推理和规划时常用的prompt结构,先推理再执行,根据环境来执行具体的action,并给出思考过程Thought。
类BabyAgi的执行流程:一部分Agent通过优化规划和任务执行的流程来完成复杂任务的拆解,将复杂的任务拆解成多个子任务,再依次/批量执行。
优点是对于解决复杂任务、需要调用多个工具时,也只需要调用三次大模型,而不是每次工具调用都要调大模型。
LLmCompiler:并行执行任务,规划时生成一个DAG图来执行action,可以理解成将多个工具聚合成一个工具执行图,用图的方式执行某一个action
paper:https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.04511?ref=blog.langchain.dev
根据框架和实现方式的差异,这里简单将Agent框架分为两大类:Single-Agent和Multi-Agent,分别对应单智能体和多智能体架构,Multi-Agent使用多个智能体来解决更复杂的问题。
亮点:作为早期agent的实践,babyagi框架简单实用,里面的任务优先级排序模块是一个比较独特的feature,后续的agent里大多看不到这个feature。
task_creation_agent
你是一个任务创建人工智能,使用执行代理的结果来创建新任务,
其目标如下:{目标}。最近完成的任务的结果是:{结果}。
该结果是基于以下任务描述的:{任务描述}。这些是未完成的任务:
{', '.join(task_list)}。根据结果,创建新的任务以供AI系统完成,
不要与未完成的任务重叠。将任务作为数组返回。
prioritization_agent
你是一个任务优先级人工智能,负责清理和重新优先处理以下任务:
{task_names}。请考虑你的团队的最终目标:{OBJECTIVE}。
不要删除任何任务。将结果作为编号列表返回,例如:
#. 第一个任务
#. 第二个任务
以编号 {next_task_id} 开始任务列表。
execution_agent
您是一款基于以下目标执行任务的人工智能:{objective}。
考虑到这些先前已完成的任务:{context}。
您的任务:{task}

git:https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT
AutoGPT 定位类似个人助理,帮助用户完成指定的任务,如调研某个课题。AutoGPT比较强调对外部工具的使用,如搜索引擎、页面浏览等。
同样,作为早期agent,autoGPT麻雀虽小五脏俱全,虽然也有很多缺点,比如无法控制迭代次数、工具有限。但是后续的模仿者非常多,基于此演变出了非常多的框架。

HuggingGPT的亮点:HuggingGPT与AutoGPT的不同之处在于,它可以调用HuggingFace上不同的模型来完成更复杂的任务,从而提高了每个任务的精确度和准确率。然而,总体成本并没有降低太多。

虚拟小镇作为早期的multi-agent项目,很多设计也影响到了其他multi-agent框架,里面的反思和记忆检索feature比较有意思,模拟人类的思考方式。
记忆流记录代理的所有经历,检索从记忆流中根据近期性(Recency)、重要性(Importance)和相关性(Relevance)检索出一部分记忆流,以传递给语言模型。
反思是由代理生成的更高级别、更抽象的思考。因为反思也是一种记忆,所以在检索时,它们会与其他观察结果一起被包含在内。反思是周期性生成的;

metaGPT是国内开源的一个Multi-Agent框架,目前整体社区活跃度较高和也不断有新feature出来,中文文档支持的很好。
metaGPT以软件公司方式组成,目的是完成一个软件需求,输入一句话的老板需求,输出用户故事 / 竞品分析 / 需求 / 数据结构 / APIs / 文件等。
如图的右侧部分所示,Role将从Environment中_observe Message。如果有一个Role _watch 的特定 Action 引起的 Message,那么这是一个有效的观察,触发Role的后续思考和操作。在 _think 中,Role将选择其能力范围内的一个 Action 并将其设置为要做的事情。在 _act 中,Role执行要做的事情,即运行 Action 并获取输出。将输出封装在 Message 中,最终 publish_message 到 Environment,完成了一个完整的智能体运行。

与huggingGPT的对比
多agent交互框架:
https://microsoft.github.io/autogen/docs/Use-Cases/agent_chat
三种类型的agent,分别对应处理单一任务、用户输入以及团队合作功能
参考:https://microsoft.github.io/autogen/docs/Examples/#automated-multi-agent-chat
另外,autogen也开源了一个playground,支持页面操作,可以本地部署,想玩一下的可以参考这篇推特:https://twitter.com/MatthewBerman/status/1746933297870155992
workflow及agent配置:
对话及详细的执行信息:
GPT Researcher的架构主要通过运行两个代理来进行,一个是“规划者”,一个是“执行者”;规划者负责生成研究问题,而执行者则是根据规划者生成的研究问题寻找相关的信息,最后再通过规划者对所有相关信息进行过滤与汇总,然后生成研究报告;
TaskWeaver,面向数据分析任务,通过编码片段解释用户请求,并以函数的形式有效协调各种插件来执行数据分析任务。TaskWeaver不仅仅是一个工具,更是一个复杂的系统,能够解释命令,将它们转换为代码,并精确地执行任务。
UFO是面向Windows系统的Agent,结合自然语言和视觉操作Windows GUI
UFO(UI-Focused Agent)的工作原理基于先进的视觉语言模型技术,特别是GPT-Vision,以及一个独特的双代理框架,使其能够理解和执行Windows操作系统中的图形用户界面(GUI)任务。以下是UFO工作原理的详细解释:
双代理框架 双代理架构:UFO由两个主要代理组成,AppAgent和ActAgent,分别负责应用程序的选择与切换,以及在这些应用程序内执行具体动作。应用程序选择代理(AppAgent):负责决定为了完成用户请求需要启动或切换到哪个应用程序。它通过分析用户的自然语言指令和当前桌面的屏幕截图来做出选择。一旦确定了最适合的应用程序,AppAgent会制定一个全局计划来指导任务的执行。动作选择代理(ActAgent):一旦选择了应用程序,ActAgent就会在该应用程序中执行具体的操作,如点击按钮、输入文本等。ActAgent利用应用程序的屏幕截图和控件信息来决定下一步最合适的操作,并通过控制交互模块将这些操作转化为对应用程序控件的实际动作。
控制交互模块 UFO的控制交互模块是将代理识别的动作转换为应用程序中实际执行的关键组成部分。这个模块使UFO能够直接与应用程序的GUI元素进行交互,执行如点击、拖动、文本输入等操作,而无需人工干预。
多模态输入处理 UFO能够处理多种类型的输入,包括文本(用户的自然语言指令)和图像(应用程序的屏幕截图)。这使UFO能够理解当前GUI的状态、可用控件和它们的属性,从而做出准确的操作决策。
用户请求解析 当接收到用户的自然语言指令时,UFO首先解析这些指令,以确定用户的意图和所需完成的任务。然后,它将这个任务分解成一系列子任务或操作步骤,这些步骤被AppAgent和ActAgent按顺序执行。
应用程序间的无缝切换 如果完成用户请求需要多个应用程序的操作,UFO能够在这些应用程序之间无缝切换。它通过AppAgent来决定何时以及如何切换应用程序,并通过ActAgent在每个应用程序中执行具体的操作。
自然语言命令到GUI操作的映射 UFO的核心功能之一是将用户的自然语言命令映射到具体的GUI操作上。这一过程涉及到理解命令的意图,识别相关的GUI元素,以及生成和执行操作这些元素的动作。通过这种方式,UFO可以自动完成从文档编辑和信息提取到电子邮件撰写和发送等一系列复杂的任务,大大提高用户在Windows操作系统中工作的效率和便捷性。

Agent框架总结
单智能体= 大语言模型(LLM) + 观察(obs) + 思考(thought) + 行动(act) + 记忆(mem)
多智能体=智能体 + 环境 + SOP + 评审 + 通信 + 成本
多智能体优点:
多视角分析问题:虽然LLM可以扮演很多视角,但会随着system prompt或者前几轮的对话快速坍缩到某个具体的视角上;
复杂问题拆解:每个子agent负责解决特定领域的问题,降低对记忆和prompt长度的要求;
可操控性强:可以自主的选择需要的视角和人设;
开闭原则:通过增加子agent来扩展功能,新增功能无需修改之前的agent;
(可能)更快的解决问题:解决单agent并发的问题;
缺点:
成本和耗时的增加;
交互更复杂、定制开发成本高;
简单的问题single Agent也能解决;
多智能体能解决的问题:
解决复杂问题;
生成多角色交互的剧情;
Multi-Agent并不是Agent框架的终态,Multi-Agent框架是当前有限的LLM能力背景下的产物,更多还是为了解决当前LLM的能力缺陷,通过LLM多次迭代、弥补一些显而易见的错误,不同框架间仍然存在着极高的学习和开发成本。随着LLM能力的提升,未来的Agent框架肯定会朝着更加的简单、易用的方向发展。
游戏场景(npc对话、游戏素材生产)、内容生产、私域助理、OS级别智能体、部分工作的提效
多agent应该像人类的大脑一样,分工明确、又能一起协作,比如,大脑有负责视觉、味觉、触觉、行走、平衡,甚至控制四肢行走的区域都不一样。
参考MetaGPT和AutoGen生态最完善的两个Multi-Agent框架,可以从以下几个角度出发:
环境&通讯:Agent间的交互,消息传递、共同记忆、执行顺序,分布式agent,OS-agent
SOP:定义SOP,编排自定义Agent
评审:Agent健壮性保证,输入输出结果解析
成本:Agent间的资源分配
Proxy:自定义proxy,可编程、执行大小模型
自我思考能力:主动提出问题,自我优化;
