We emphasize that cmbagent is under active development and apologize for any bugs.
The backbone of cmbagent is AG2. Please star the AG2 repo ⭐ and cite Wu et al (2023)!
Cmbagent acts according to a Planning and Control strategy with no human-in-the-loop.
You give a task to solve, then:
Planning
- A plan is designed from a conversation between a planner and a plan reviewer.
- Once the number of feedbacks (reviews) is exhausted the plan is recorded in context and cmbagent switches to control.
Control
- The plan is executed step-by-step.
- Sub-tasks are handed over to a single agent in each step.
With Python 3.12 or above:
python3 -m venv cmbagent_env
source cmbagent_env/bin/activate
pip install cmbagent
Go ahead and launch the GUI:
cmbagent run
See below if you need to run in terminal, notebooks etc.
git clone https://github.com/CMBAgents/cmbagent.git
cd cmbagent
python3 -m venv cmbagent_env
source cmbagent_env/bin/activate
pip install -e .
You can then open the folder in your VSCode/Cursor/Emacs/... and work on the source code.
We assume you are in the virtual environment where you installed cmbagent.
Here is a one-liner you can run in terminal:
python -c "import cmbagent; task='''Draw two random numbers and give me their sum'''; results=cmbagent.one_shot(task, agent='engineer', engineer_model='gpt-4o-mini');"
If you want to run the notebooks, first create the ipykernel (assuming your virtual environment is called cmbagent_env):
python -m ipykernel install --user --name cmbagent_env --display-name "Python (cmbagent_env)"
Then launch jupyterlab:
jupyter-lab
Select the cmbagent kernel, and run the the notebook.
Before you can use cmbagent, you need to set your OpenAI API key as an environment variable. Do this in a terminal, before launching Jupyter-lab.
For Unix-based systems (Linux, macOS), do:
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..." ## mandatory for the RAG agents
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-..." ## optional
export GEMINI_API_KEY="AI...." ## optional
(paste in your bashrc or zshrc file, if possible.)
For Windows, use WSL and the same command.
By default, cmbagent uses models from oai/anthropic/google. If you want to pick different LLMs, just adapat agent_llm_configs
as above, or the default_agent_llm_configs
in utils.py.
You can run the cmbagent GUI in a docker container. You may need sudo
permission to run docker, or follow the instructions of this link. To build the docker image run:
docker build -t cmbagent .
To run the cmbagent GUI:
docker run -p 8501:8501 --rm cmbagent
That command exposes the default streamlit port 8501
, change it to use a different port. You can mount additional volumes to share data with the docker container using the -v
flag.
If you want to enter the docker container in interactive mode to use cmbagent without the GUI, run:
docker run --rm -it cmbagent bash
