Welcome to the LLM Agents Wiki, your comprehensive resource for understanding and leveraging Large Language Model Agents in the realm of artificial intelligence. Dive into the cutting-edge developments, explore various types and design patterns, and discover the libraries and tools that empower these intelligent systems to perform autonomously across diverse applications.

Large Language Model (LLM) Agents are AI systems that utilize large language models to perform tasks autonomously. By understanding natural language, reasoning through complex problems, and interacting with external tools and environments, LLM Agents represent a significant advancement in artificial intelligence. They are capable of planning, executing, and adapting their actions based on given objectives and feedback from their environment.

• Reasoning and Planning: LLM Agents analyze complex tasks, devise strategies, and plan sequences of actions to achieve specific goals.
• Tool Utilization: They interact with external tools, APIs, databases, and services to extend their capabilities beyond text generation, such as performing web searches, executing code, or manipulating data.
• Memory and Context Management: By maintaining context over interactions, LLM Agents can reference previous information and maintain coherent long-term objectives.
• Natural Language Understanding: Advanced language comprehension allows LLM Agents to interpret and generate human-like text, making them effective for communication and instruction following.
• Autonomy and Adaptability: LLM Agents operate independently, making decisions and adapting to new information or changes in their environment.

An approach where the LLM generates a step-by-step reasoning process, enhancing its problem-solving capabilities by making intermediate reasoning steps explicit.

A framework that combines reasoning traces with actions, allowing the agent to reason about tasks and interact with external tools or environments in an interleaved manner.

An experimental open-source application demonstrating how LLMs like GPT-4 can autonomously achieve user-defined goals by iteratively planning, executing, and learning from actions.

A simplified artificial general intelligence model that uses an LLM to create, prioritize, and execute tasks, aiming to autonomously achieve objectives.

A platform enabling users to deploy autonomous AI agents that can carry out tasks in a web-based environment, combining planning and execution capabilities.

Agents that first plan a sequence of actions to achieve a goal and then execute those actions, often revising the plan based on the outcomes of each step.

Specialized in dialogue, these agents understand and generate human-like conversational responses, commonly used in customer support or virtual assistants.

Agents capable of utilizing external tools or APIs (e.g., calculators, search engines, databases) to augment their capabilities and provide accurate or up-to-date information.

• Prompt Chaining: Structuring complex tasks into a series of prompts that guide the LLM through a multi-step process.
• Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF): Training LLMs using human feedback to improve responses and align them with desired outcomes.
• Agent Loop (Perception-Thought-Action Cycle): An iterative process where the agent perceives inputs, thinks (reasoning/planning), and acts (produces outputs or takes actions).
• Context Window Management: Techniques for managing the limited context window of LLMs, such as summarizing past interactions or retrieving relevant information.
• Tool Integration Patterns: Designing interfaces that allow the LLM to interact with external tools through well-defined APIs or action schemas.
• Memory Augmentation: Implementing mechanisms for the agent to store and retrieve information beyond the LLM's context window, such as external memory databases.
• Modular Architecture: Separating the agent's functionalities into modules (e.g., planning, memory, execution) to enhance maintainability and scalability.

• LangChain: A framework for developing applications powered by language models, providing tools for prompt chaining, memory management, and agent development.
• LlamaIndex (GPT Index): A toolkit for connecting LLMs with external data sources and knowledge bases.
• Hugging Face Transformers: A library offering a wide range of pre-trained models and tools for natural language processing tasks, facilitating the development of LLM Agents.
• OpenAI API: Provides access to advanced language models like GPT-4, enabling the integration of LLM capabilities into custom applications and agents.
• Microsoft Guidance: A library for controlling LLM generation, allowing developers to specify desired behavior and constraints.
• AutoGPT and BabyAGI Implementations: Open-source projects demonstrating autonomous agents built on top of LLMs, serving as references for building similar systems.
• Haystack: An open-source framework for building search systems that combine LLMs with traditional search methods, useful for agents requiring information retrieval capabilities.

• Autonomous Task Execution: Performing tasks such as data analysis, content generation, scheduling, and automation of workflows without human intervention.
• Customer Support and Virtual Assistants: Providing personalized assistance, answering queries, and engaging in natural language conversations with users.
• Research Assistance: Assisting researchers by summarizing papers, generating hypotheses, or exploring literature.
• Education and Tutoring: Offering personalized learning experiences, explanations, and educational content tailored to individual needs.
• Content Creation: Generating articles, reports, creative writing, or marketing materials based on user input or autonomous exploration.
• Software Development Assistance: Helping with code generation, debugging, documentation, and providing suggestions to developers.
• Data Retrieval and Processing: Collecting, processing, and analyzing data from various sources to provide insights or support decision-making.

The field of LLM Agents is rapidly evolving, with significant advancements including:

• Enhanced Reasoning Abilities: Improvements in chain-of-thought prompting and reasoning strategies have led to better problem-solving capabilities.
