代理是经过定制的语言模型，通过系统提示使其以特定方式行为。提示通常详细说明任务类型、预期的任务解决行为和约束条件。通常情况下，代理由人类用户调用，每次交互都需要进行调节。但是，当代理 LLM 与其他代理互动时会发生什么？当代理能够访问额外工具时，例如读取额外数据源或执行程序代码时，代理又会如何表现？
本文探讨了使用 Autogen 框架的多智能体对话。探讨了三个方面：首先，您将了解不同的代理类型。其次，您将看到启动双代理和多代理聊天的主要选项。第三，您将理解如何在多代理聊天中构建通信流程。
本文的技术背景是 Python v3.11 和 autogen v0.2.27。所有代码示例在更新的库版本中也应能正常工作，但可能需要更新代码。
本文最初发表于我的博客 admantium.com。
所需库
我之前文章中的设置再次适用：您需要通过以下命令安装 autogen 库：
pip install autogen==0.2.27
同时，您还需要访问一个完全兼容 OpenAI API 的 LLM 干扰端点，例如 Ollama 引擎和 LiteLLM 的组合，使用以下命令：
ollama serve
litellm --model ollama_chat/llama3
代理类型
在深入研究 AutoGen 代码库时，可以发现被广泛引用的“稳定”代理实现，以及正在积极开发并提供专业或特定功能的“贡献”代理。
稳定的代理类型如下：
- ConversableAgent: Autogen 中的默认代理类，定义了代理本身的概念。其基本配置包括系统提示、是否等待人类输入、传达终止消息的能力以及总结对话的能力。代理可以与多个 LLM 引擎协作，这些引擎可以通过
llm_config设置进行访问。 - AssistantAgent: 该代理具有与可交谈代理相同的功能，但定义了一个特定的系统提示，可以从其 GitLab 源代码 中进行检查。
- UserProxy: 该代理代表对话中的人类参与者。从技术上讲，它是可交谈代理的子类，没有
llm_config，并始终需要人类输入。
在“贡献”代理中，以下是非详尽列表：
- RetrieveAssistantAgent 和 RetrieveUserProxyAgent: 该代理的目标是为 Autogen 添加 RAG 功能。代理可以配置为使用特定数据库，其中存储了向量化文档（可以是预填充或空的），并且可以接收一组应被向量化或添加到数据库的文档。
- LlaavaAgent: 一个可以处理图像的代理。
- AgentEval: 一项正在进行的开发工作，旨在将代理评估框架集成到 autogen 中，以便在用作代理时评估 LLM。
- MathUserProxyAgent: 一个用户调用的代理，能够通过调用 Wolfram Alpha 和执行 Python 代码来解决数学问题。
- SocietyOfMindAgent: 这个高度专业化的代理将运行一个定义好的群聊并总结其结果。
交流模式
AutoGen 允许代理和用户代理对象以两种不同的模式进行通信。聊天是两个对象之间双向通信的默认选项，可以是代理与代理之间，或代理与人类代理之间。在群聊中，定义了多个代理，并在监督者的调控下传递消息，监督者选择下一个发言者。以下部分将探讨这两种选项。
AutoGen 聊天
定义
在聊天中，只有两个活跃的参与者，可能是两个代理或一个代理和用户代理。以下是这一默认模式的示例：
from autogen.agentchat import ConversableAgent, UserProxyAgent
config_list = [
{
"model": "llama3",
"base_url": "http://0.0.0.0:4000",
"api_key": "ollama",
}
]
SYSTEM_PROMPT = "You are a knowledgeable a helpful assistant that answers questions from your supervisor."
system_message = {'role': 'system', 'content': SYSTEM_PROMPT}
agent = ConversableAgent(
name="agent",
system_message=SYSTEM_PROMPT,
human_input_mode="NEVER",
llm_config={
"config_list": config_list,
"timeout": 180,
"temperature": 0.2},
)
user = UserProxyAgent(
name="supervisor",
human_input_mode="ALWAYS",
is_termination_msg=lambda x: x.get("content", "").strip().endswith("TERMINATE"),
)
配置
聊天的主要特征源于其配置的代理：
- 人类输入模式：当设置为
ALWAYS时，代理或用户代理对象的回答是需要提供的输入。当设置为TERMINATE时，人类用户可以选择继续对话，例如设置新任务或定义附加约束。 - 通信方向：发起聊天的对象配置接收初始化消息。实际上，这意味着您可以指示代理与自己对话。在这种情况下，您还应将
max_consecutive_auto_reply=1设置为防止代理之间的 ping-pong 对话。age=“列出 5 本关于人类历史的书籍。”, - 聊天结果：自动生成的聊天会创建参与者之间所有聊天消息的完整历史。聊天的结果由其
summary_method设置决定。在默认模式下，这就是聊天中返回的最后一条消息。然而，它也可以设置为reflection_with_llm，这将把所有聊天消息传递给一个 LLM，从而生成聊天的完整摘要。
如果您需要调用第三个对象，可以在 Jupyter Notebook 使用编码和规划代理的协作任务解决 中找到一个非常巧妙的模式：定义一个在聊天中可访问的工具，并实现该工具以调用另一个 LLM。
初始化
您可以通过初始问题执行此聊天，并在终端中查看聊天进程：
chat = user.initiate_chat(
agent,
message="List 5 books about the history of humankind.",
clear_history=False,
is_termination_msg=lambda x: x.get("content", "").strip().endswith("TERMINATE"),
)
或者，您可以开始一个交互式会话，在该会话中，终端等待您的输入以传递给代理。
user.initiate_chat(agent)
示例
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
supervisor (to agent):
列出5本关于人类历史的书籍。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
agent (to supervisor):
Here are five book recommendations that explore the history of humankind:

自动生成的群聊
在群聊中，多名定义好的代理相互交谈，由一个特殊的管理对象进行调节，该对象选择下一个发言者。在其默认配置中，代理所体现的LLM决定如何传递消息。或者，发言者选择规则集可以作为一个函数实现，从而完全控制通信流程。
定义
中心对象是 GroupChat 和 GroupChatManager。默认定义如下。
groupchat = GroupChat(agents=[user, librarian, reviewer, editor], messages=[], max_round=6)
manager = GroupChatManager(groupchat=groupchat, llm_config={"config_list": config_list})
为了简洁起见，我没有在这里包含代理定义 — 请参见下面的示例部分以获取简要介绍。
配置
在群聊中，聊天的最重要特性就是代理本身。它们可以按照上面的说明进行配置。
为了控制代理之间的通信，存在以下选项：
max_round: 消息在代理之间传递，直到达到配置的max_rounds数量，或当某个代理提出定义的终止问题时。speaker_selection_method: 此方法定义了如何确定下一个发言者。默认值为auto，这意味着代表管理者的 LLM 自主决定。其他值包括auto，这要求人类输入下一个使用哪个代理，纯粹的random或round_robin选择。
初始化
聊天可以通过任何定义的代理进行初始化：
librarian.initiate_chat(manager, message="""
I have a question about the book "A Study in Scarlet" by Arthur Conan Doyle.Tell me the details about the killer and victim.
""")
另外，您也可以调用用户代理对象：
user.initiate_chat(manager)
示例：自主发言者选择
在这个示例中，代理人协作工作，以便为用户问题提供准确的答案。理想情况下，图书管理员进行研究并建议文本，审查员提供事实核查能力，编辑评论语言改进，最后图书管理员向用户呈现经过修订的答案。
在自主发言者选择场景中，使用以下提示：
user.initiate_chat(manager, message="""
I have a question about the "A Study in Scarlet" by Arthur Conan Doyle.
Tell me the details about the killer and victim.
""")
结果如下：
supervisor (to chat_manager):
I have a question about the "A Study in Scarlet" by Arthur Conan Doyle.
Tell me the details about the killer and victim.
Please let the fact-checker and editor refine the answer.

自定义发言人选择示例
为了控制发言人选择，需要定义一个 next_speaker 方法，该方法返回下一个代理对象。
遵循前一个示例的上下文，理想的沟通流程应该是图书管理员 => 审阅者 => 编辑 => 事实检查员。以下是实现：
def next_speaker(last_speaker: AssistantAgent, groupchat: GroupChat):
messages = groupchat.messages
last = last_speaker.name
nxt = None
if len(messages) < 2:
nxt = librarian
match last:
case "librarian":
if len(messages) > 1:
nxt = reviewer
else:
nxt = user
case "reviewer":
nxt = editor
case "editor":
nxt = librarian
print(f"Messages: {len(messages)}")
print(f"Last Speaker: {last}")
print(f"Next Speaker: {nxt.name}")
return nxt
这是一个示例聊天：
supervisor (to chat_manager):
I have a question about the book "A Study in Scarlet" by Arthur Conan Doyle.
Tell me the details about the killer and victim.

What a classic! I'd be delighted to help you with that.
"A Study in Scarlet" is the first novel featuring Sherlock Holmes, written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The story revolves around the murder of Enoch Drebber, an American Baptist minister, and his wife, Annie.
**The Victim:**
Enoch Drebber was a 55-year-old American Baptist minister who had been living in London with his wife, Annie. He was found dead on June 3rd, 1888, at 9:30 pm, with a pool of blood under his head and a crucifixion-like pose.
**The Killer:**
The killer is revealed to be Jefferson Hope, an American who had been seeking revenge against the Drebbers for their role in the death of his fiancée, Julia. Hope was a former Mormon who had converted to Christianity after Julia's passing. He believed that Enoch and Annie were responsible for her demise and sought to punish them.
Hope's plan was to kill the couple on the same day as their wedding anniversary, which would have been June 3rd, but he was delayed due to a rainstorm. He eventually killed them at their home in London, using a crucifixion-like pose to symbolize his own Christian beliefs and his desire for revenge.
I hope this information helps! Let me know if you have any further questions or need assistance with anything else.
