AIOS: LLM Agent Operating System

AIOS, a Large Language Model (LLM) Agent operating system, embeds large language model into Operating Systems (OS) as the brain of the OS, enabling an operating system "with soul" -- an important step towards AGI. AIOS is designed to optimize resource allocation, facilitate context switch across agents, enable concurrent execution of agents, provide tool service for agents, maintain access control for agents, and provide a rich set of toolkits for LLM Agent developers.

📰 News

• [2024-04-14] 🚀 AIOS currently supports generation interrupt (for open-sourced llms) and customized console loggers. Feel free to try!
• [2024-04-05] 🛠️ AIOS codebase has been updated to add shell simulator, rapid API calls, and pre-commit test cases. Please see CONTRIBUTE for how to test your contributions and create pull requests.
• [2024-04-02] 🌟 AIOS Discord Community is up. Welcome to join the community for discussions, brainstorming, development, or just random chats!
• [2024-03-25] ✈️ Our paper AIOS: LLM Agent Operating System is released and AIOS repository is officially launched!
• [2023-12-06] 📋 After several months of working, our perspective paper LLM as OS, Agents as Apps: Envisioning AIOS, Agents and the AIOS-Agent Ecosystem is officially released.

✈️ Getting Started

Installation

To run AIOS, you will need to install our agent creation package, OpenAGI. Git clone AIOS and OpenAGI

git clone https://github.com/agiresearch/AIOS.git
git clone git@github.com:agiresearch/OpenAGI.git

Make sure you have Python = 3.11 Install the required packages using pip

conda create -n AIOS python=3.11
source activate AIOS
cd AIOS
pip install -r requirements.txt

Allow your code to be able to see 'openagi'

cd ../OpenAGI
pip install -e .

Usage

If you use open-sourced models from huggingface, you need to setup your Hugging Face token and cache directory

export HUGGING_FACE_HUB_TOKEN=<YOUR READ TOKEN>
export HF_HOME=<YOUR CACHE DIRECTORY>

If you use LLM APIs, you need to setup your API key such as OpenAI API Key, Gemini API Key

export OPENAI_API_KEY=<YOUR OPENAI API KEY>
export GEMINI_API_KEY=<YOUR GEMINI API KEY>

Here we provide two modes to run the AIOS: interactive mode and deployment mode

Interactive Mode

In the interactive mode, you can interact with AIOS to see the output of each step in running multiple agents For open-sourced LLMs, you need to setup the name of the LLM you would like to use the max gpu memory, the evaluation device and the maximum length of generated new tokens.

# For open-sourced LLMs
python main.py --llm_name <llm_name> --max_gpu_memory <max_gpu_memory> --eval_device <eval_device> --max_new_tokens <max_new_tokens>
## Use Gemma-2b-it for example
python main.py --llm_name gemma-2b-it --max_gpu_memory '{"0": "24GB"}' --eval_device "cuda:0" --max_new_tokens 256

For close-sourced LLMs, you just need to setup the name of the LLM.

# For close-sourced LLMs
python main.py --llm_name <llm_name>
## Use gpt-4 for example
python main.py --llm_name gpt-4

Deployment Mode

In the deployment mode, the outputs of running agents are stored in files. And in this mode, you are provided with multiple commands to run agents and see resource usage of agents (e.g., run <xxxAgent>: <YOUR TASK>, print agent). Different from the interactive mode, you need to set all the default loggers as file loggers.

# For open-sourced LLMs
python simulator.py --llm_name <llm_name> --max_gpu_memory <max_gpu_memory> --eval_device <eval_device> --max_new_tokens <max_new_tokens> --scheduler_log_mode file --agent_log_mode file --llm_kernel_log_mode file
## Use Gemma-2b-it for example
python simulator.py --llm_name gemma-2b-it --max_gpu_memory '{"0": "24GB"}' --eval_device "cuda:0" --max_new_tokens 256 --scheduler_log_mode file --agent_log_mode file --llm_kernel_log_mode file

# For close-sourced LLMs
python simulator.py --llm_name <llm_name> --scheduler_log_mode file --agent_log_mode file --llm_kernel_log_mode file
## Use gpt-4 for example
python simulator.py --llm_name gpt-4 --scheduler_log_mode file --agent_log_mode file --llm_kernel_log_mode file
