最近我发现自己完全着迷于AutoGPT 的试验，许多其他人也是如此。将 AutoGPT 用作黑匣子，我开始好奇它是如何在引擎盖下工作的。值得庆幸的是代码是开源的，所以我决定看一看。
以下是我对 AutoGPT 架构的笔记。希望这对那些对 AutoGPT 的工作原理感到好奇的人有所帮助。此外，AutoGPT 可以作为那些正在构建自己的代理 AI 系统的人的参考设计。
注意：我分析了一周前下载的AutoGPT v0.2.1的代码。以下信息反映了 AutoGPT 0.2.1。在撰写本文时，AutoGPT v0.2.2 已经发布。感谢社区正在取得的令人难以置信的进步！
架构
工作流程
- 用户（人类）定义 AI 代理的名称，并指定最多 5 个目标，例如 AutoGPT 的用户将在他们的终端中看到以下内容（完整示例在附录“初始用户输入的终端消息示例”下）
Welcome to Auto-GPT! Enter the name of your AI and its role below. ... Enter up to 5 goals for your AI: ... Goal 1: ... Goal 2: ... - 根据用户的设置，生成初始提示并将其发送到 ChatGPT API。提示包含用户的设置和 ChatGPT 的总体说明。总体说明包括所有可用命令、以 json 格式输出结果的说明等。有关初始提示的示例，请参阅附录“初始提示示例”。
- ChatGPT 返回一个 json 字符串（理想情况下），其中包括它的想法、推理、计划和批评。json 还包括下一个要执行的命令及其参数。有关 ChatGPT 返回的 json 字符串的示例，请参阅附录“ ChatGPT 返回的示例 json 字符串”。
- 该命令是从 ChatGPT 的响应中提取和解析的。如果发出关闭/
task_complete命令，则系统关闭。否则，适当的命令执行器使用给定的参数执行命令。 - 执行的命令返回一个字符串值。例如，谷歌搜索命令会返回搜索结果，
browse_website命令会返回抓取网站内容的摘要，write_to_file会返回写入文件的状态等。 - ChatGPT 输出 (4) 和命令返回字符串 (5) 组合在一起，添加到内存中
- (6) 中的上下文被添加到短期记忆中，仅存储为文本。这可以使用队列/FIFO 数据结构来实现。在 AutoGPT 0.2.1 中，存储了完整的消息历史记录，但仅选择前 9 条 ChatGPT 消息/命令返回字符串作为短期记忆。
- (6) 中的上下文也被添加到长期记忆中。一般的想法是我们想要一组对
(vector, text)，并且能够执行KNN /approximate-KNN 搜索以从给定查询中找到前 K 个最相似的项目。为了获取文本嵌入/向量，我们使用 OpenAI 的 ada-002 嵌入 API。为了存储(vector, text)对，我们可以使用本地内存（例如FAISS），甚至可以使用像 Pinecone 这样的可扩展矢量数据库。AutoGPT 0.2.1 支持 Pinecone、本地数据存储等。我使用了本地存储选项，它以纯文本格式将嵌入向量写入磁盘。 - 给定来自短期记忆 (7) 的最新上下文，查询来自 (8) 的长期记忆以获得前 K 个最相关的记忆片段（对于 AutoGPT 0.2.1，K=10 ）。top-K 最相关的记忆被添加到提示中，
{relevant memory}在图中。有关包含记忆的示例提示，请参阅附录“带有记忆的示例提示”。回忆添加在“这让你想起过去的事件”下。 - 构建了一个新的提示，使用与初始提示 (2) 相同的指令、来自 (9) 的相关记忆，以及末尾的指令“GENERATE NEXT COMMAND JSON”（参见附录“带有记忆的示例提示”） . 这个新提示用于调用 ChatGPT，重复步骤（3）到（10）直到任务完成，即 ChatGPT 发出
task_complete/ 关闭命令。
命令
代理人工智能的一个迷人且非常强大的方面是它发出和执行命令的能力。在 AutoGPT 中，LLM 系统 (ChatGPT) 通过提示中的以下文本了解可用命令及其功能：
Commands:
1. Google Search: "google", args: "input": "<search>"
2. Browse Website: "browse_website", args: "url": "<url>", "question": "<what_you_want_to_find_on_website>"
3. Start GPT Agent: "start_agent", args: "name": "<name>", "task": "<short_task_desc>", "prompt": "<prompt>"
4. Message GPT Agent: "message_agent", args: "key": "<key>", "message": "<message>"
5. List GPT Agents: "list_agents", args:
6. Delete GPT Agent: "delete_agent", args: "key": "<key>"
7. Clone Repository: "clone_repository", args: "repository_url": "<url>", "clone_path": "<directory>"
8. Write to file: "write_to_file", args: "file": "<file>", "text": "<text>"
9. Read file: "read_file", args: "file": "<file>"
10. Append to file: "append_to_file", args: "file": "<file>", "text": "<text>"
11. Delete file: "delete_file", args: "file": "<file>"
12. Search Files: "search_files", args: "directory": "<directory>"
13. Evaluate Code: "evaluate_code", args: "code": "<full_code_string>"
14. Get Improved Code: "improve_code", args: "suggestions": "<list_of_suggestions>", "code": "<full_code_string>"
15. Write Tests: "write_tests", args: "code": "<full_code_string>", "focus": "<list_of_focus_areas>"
16. Execute Python File: "execute_python_file", args: "file": "<file>"
17. Generate Image: "generate_image", args: "prompt": "<prompt>"
18. Send Tweet: "send_tweet", args: "text": "<text>"
19. Convert Audio to text: "read_audio_from_file", args: "file": "<file>"
20. Do Nothing: "do_nothing", args:
21. Task Complete (Shutdown): "task_complete", args: "reason": "<reason>"每个命令都有一个简短的描述（例如“谷歌搜索”、“执行 Python 文件”等），因此 ChatGPT 知道在给定当前上下文的情况下选择哪个命令。此外，每个命令在 AutoGPT 中都有自己的执行器。
我发现这是一个非常强大的概念，因为可以扩展可用的命令套件，从而开辟了许多可能性。例如，如果我们有一个将产品添加到在线零售商的购物车的命令，我们可以指定一个目标来 (1) 找到最适合上旋基线球员的网球线，以及 (2) 将该线添加到用户的购物车。还可以将命令扩展到物理世界，例如智能家居控制。当然，将安全放在首位非常重要，因为这些基于 LLM 的自治代理仍处于开发初期！
附录
初始用户输入的示例终端消息
Welcome to Auto-GPT! Enter the name of your AI and its role below. Entering nothing will load defaults.
Name your AI: For example, 'Entrepreneur-GPT'
AI Name: Foo
Foo here! I am at your service.
Describe your AI's role: For example, 'an AI designed to autonomously develop and run businesses with the sole goal of increasing your net worth.'
Foo is: an AI that recommends tennis equipment for a specific player
Enter up to 5 goals for your AI: For example: Increase net worth, Grow Twitter Account, Develop and manage multiple businesses autonomously'
Enter nothing to load defaults, enter nothing when finished.
Goal 1: Find the top 3 most suitable tennis strings for a hard hitting baseline player who hits with a lot of topspin
Goal 2: Write the tennis strings to output
Goal 3: Shut down when you are done
Goal 4: 如何打印 ChatCompletions 消息
AutoGPT 使用 OpenAI 的ChatCompletion，它需要一个表示聊天历史记录的字典列表。为了视觉清晰，我打印了以字符串形式进入 ChatGPT 的提示。例如：
messages = [
{"role": "system", "content": "foo"},
{"role": "user", "content": "bar1"},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "bar2"}
]将打印为：
system: foo
user: bar1
assistant: bar2示例初始提示
system: You are Foo, an AI that recommends tennis equipment for a specific player
