AutoGen Studio - Build Self-Improving AI Agents With No-Code



AI Summary

Summary: Multi-Agent Systems and Autogen

Multi-Agent Systems

  • Autonomous vehicles need to coordinate as a multi-agent system.
  • Experts discuss the importance of agents communicating with each other.
  • Future AI will involve collective intelligence with agents aware of and communicating with each other.

Autogen for Non-Programmers

  • Latest version of Autogen is designed for non-programmers.
  • Installation and running API models like Mistol and Gemini Pro are demonstrated.
  • Three key factors to maximize Autogen use are highlighted.

Factor 1: Flipping the Script

  • Shift from single intelligent AI agents to a future of collective intelligence.
  • Questions will evolve from prompting techniques to communication flows among agents.
  • Platforms like Autogen and Crei are paving the way for this future.

Factor 2: Architecting Autogen

  • Step-by-step tutorial on installing Autogen and setting up a virtual environment.
  • Autogen Studio installation and environment variable setup are explained.
  • Four building blocks of Autogen: Agent, Model, Skills, and Workflow.
  • Workflows can be hierarchical or non-hierarchical.

Factor 3: Sledgehammer to Crack a Nut

  • Autogen’s full potential lies in building systems, not just smart agents.
  • Agents can autonomously build new skills for themselves.
  • Self-improving agents are a key feature of Autogen.

Building Systems with Autogen

  • Workflow consists of Architect, Reviewer, and Optimizer agents.
  • Agents can be designed to iteratively improve outputs.
  • Autogen allows for the creation of self-improving agents.

Accessing API Models and Open Source Models

  • Light LLMP project can wrap APIs to look like OpenAI API.
  • Running open-source models locally for free is possible with LM Studio.
  • Small open-source models struggle with function calling due to limited cognition.

Function Calling and Open Source Models

  • Function calling allows models to interact with external functionalities.
  • Some small open-source models are fine-tuned for function calling.
  • Trisis Llama 2 is recommended for multi-agent systems due to its ability to use skills effectively.

Final Thoughts

  • AGI might emerge from a society of intelligent, self-improving agents rather than from training larger models.
  • The future of AI involves systems of agents automating tasks, leading to scientific innovation, and potentially achieving general intelligence.
