What's AgentScope?

AgentScope is an innovative multi-agent platform designed to empower developers to build multi-agent applications with large-scale models. It features three high-level capabilities:

🤝 Easy-to-Use: Designed for developers, with fruitful components, comprehensive documentation, and broad compatibility. Besides, AgentScope Workstation provides a drag-and-drop programming platform and a copilot for beginners of AgentScope!
✅ High Robustness: Supporting customized fault-tolerance controls and retry mechanisms to enhance application stability.
🚀 Actor-Based Distribution: Building distributed multi-agent applications in a centralized programming manner for streamlined development.

Supported Model Libraries

AgentScope provides a list of ModelWrapper to support both local model services and third-party model APIs.

Supported Local Model Deployment

AgentScope enables developers to rapidly deploy local model services using the following libraries.

Supported Services

Web Search
Data Query
Retrieval
Code Execution
File Operation
Text Processing

Example Applications

More models, services and examples are coming soon!

Installation

AgentScope requires Python 3.9 or higher.

Note: This project is currently in active development, it's recommended to install AgentScope from source.

From source

Install AgentScope in editable mode:

# Pull the source code from GitHub
git clone https://github.com/modelscope/agentscope.git

# Install the package in editable mode
cd agentscope
pip install -e .

To build distributed multi-agent applications:

# On windows
pip install -e .[distribute]
# On mac
pip install -e .\[distribute\]

Using pip

Install AgentScope from pip:

pip install agentscope

Quick Start

Configuration

In AgentScope, the model deployment and invocation are decoupled by ModelWrapper.

To use these model wrappers, you need to prepare a model config file as follows.

model_config = {
    # The identifies of your config and used model wrapper
    "config_name": "{your_config_name}",          # The name to identify the config
    "model_type": "{model_type}",                 # The type to identify the model wrapper

    # Detailed parameters into initialize the model wrapper
    # ...
}

Taking OpenAI Chat API as an example, the model configuration is as follows:

openai_model_config = {
    "config_name": "my_openai_config",             # The name to identify the config
    "model_type": "openai_chat",                   # The type to identify the model wrapper

    # Detailed parameters into initialize the model wrapper
    "model_name": "gpt-4",                         # The used model in openai API, e.g. gpt-4, gpt-3.5-turbo, etc.
    "api_key": "xxx",                              # The API key for OpenAI API. If not set, env
                                                   # variable OPENAI_API_KEY will be used.
    "organization": "xxx",                         # The organization for OpenAI API. If not set, env
                                                   # variable OPENAI_ORGANIZATION will be used.
}

More details about how to set up local model services and prepare model configurations is in our tutorial.

Create Agents

Create built-in user and assistant agents as follows.

from agentscope.agents import DialogAgent, UserAgent
import agentscope

# Load model configs
agentscope.init(model_configs="./model_configs.json")

# Create a dialog agent and a user agent
dialog_agent = DialogAgent(name="assistant",
                           model_config_name="my_openai_config")
user_agent = UserAgent()

Construct Conversation

In AgentScope, message is the bridge among agents, which is a dict that contains two necessary fields name and content and an optional field url to local files (image, video or audio) or website.

from agentscope.message import Msg

x = Msg(name="Alice", content="Hi!")
x = Msg("Bob", "What about this picture I took?", url="/path/to/picture.jpg")

Start a conversation between two agents (e.g. dialog_agent and user_agent) with the following code:

x = None
while True:
    x = dialog_agent(x)
    x = user_agent(x)
    if x.content == "exit":  # user input "exit" to exit the conversation_basic
        break

AgentScope Studio

AgentScope provides an easy-to-use runtime user interface capable of displaying multimodal output on the front end, including text, images, audio and video. To start a studio, you should install the full version of AgentScope.

# On windows
pip install -e .[full]
# On mac
pip install -e .\[full\]

Once installed, you can just run

as_studio  path/to/your/script.py

Then the studio will be launched at localhost:xxxx, and you can see the UI similar to the following: To be able to use the as_studio functionality, please implement the main function in your code. More detail can be found in src/agentscope/web/README.md.
