<!-- **AWorld (Agent World)** is a next-generation framework for agent learning with three key characteristics:
1. **Plug-and-Play:** Box up complex modules with bulletproof protocols and zero-drama state control.
2. **Cloud-Native Velocity:** Train smarter agents that evolve their own brains—prompts, workflows, memory, and tools—on the fly.
3. **Self-Awareness**: Synthesize the agent's own knowledge and experience to achieve ultimate self-improvement. -->
**AWorld (Agent World)** is the next-generation framework engineered for agent self-improvement at scale. We enable AI agents to continuously evolve by synthesizing their own knowledge and experiences. This core capability is powered by:
1. **Multi-Agent Systems (MAS)**: Build complex, interacting agent societies using our plug-and-play protocols and robust context management.
2. **Intelligence Beyond a Single Model**: Generates high-quality feedback and diverse synthetic training data that fuel individual agent evolution.
3. **Cloud-Native for Diversity & Scale**: Delivers the high concurrency and scalability for training smarter agents and achieving self-improvement.
AWorld empowers you to rapidly build individual tool-using agents, orchestrate sophisticated multi-agent systems, train agents effectively, and synthesize the high-quality data required for continuous agent evolution – all converging towards autonomous self-improvement.

# 🏃♀️ Quickstart
## Prerequisites
> [!TIP]
> Python>=3.11
```bash
git clone https://github.com/inclusionAI/AWorld && cd AWorld
python setup.py install
```
## Hello world examples
We introduce the concepts of `Agent` and `Runners` to help you get started quickly.
```python
import os
from aworld.agents.llm_agent import Agent
from aworld.runner import Runners
summarizer = Agent(
name="Summary Agent",
system_prompt="You specialize at summarizing.",
)
result = Runners.sync_run(
input="Tell me a succint history about the universe",
agent=summarizer,
)
```
In parallel, we introduce the concepts of `Swarm` to construct a team of agents.
```python
import os
from aworld.agents.llm_agent import Agent
from aworld.runner import Runners
from aworld.core.agent.swarm import Swarm
researcher = Agent(
name="Research Agent",
system_prompt="You specialize at researching.",
)
summarizer = Agent(
name="Summary Agent",
system_prompt="You specialize at summarizing.",
)
# Create agent team with collaborative workflow
team = Swarm(researcher, summarizer)
result = Runners.sync_run(
input="Tell me a complete history about the universe",
swarm=team,
)
```
Finally, run your own agents or teams
```bash
# Set LLM credentials
export LLM_MODEL_NAME="gpt-4"
export LLM_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
export LLM_BASE_URL="https://api.openai.com/v1"
# Run
python /path/to/agents/or/teams
```

### Pass AgentConfig Explicitly
```python
import os
from aworld.agents.llm_agent import Agent
from aworld.runner import Runners
from aworld.config.conf import AgentConfig
from aworld.core.agent.swarm import Swarm
gpt_conf = AgentConfig(
llm_provider="openai",
llm_model_name="gpt-4o",
llm_api_key="<OPENAI_API_KEY>",
llm_temperature=0.1,
)
openrouter_conf = AgentConfig(
llm_provider="openai",
llm_model_name="google/gemini-2.5-pro",
llm_ap i_key="<OPENROUTER_API_KEY>",
llm_base_url="https://openrouter.ai/api/v1"
llm_temperature=0.1,
)
researcher = Agent(
name="Research Agent",
conf=gpt_conf,
system_prompt="You specialize at researching.",
)
summarizer = Agent(
name="Summary Agent",
conf=openrouter_conf,
system_prompt="You specialize at summarizing.",
)
# Create agent team with collaborative workflow
team = Swarm(researcher, summarizer)
result = Runners.sync_run(
input="Tell me a complete history about the universe",
swarm=team,
)
```
### Agent Equipped with MCP Tools
```python
import os
from aworld.agents.llm_agent import Agent
from aworld.runner import Runners
mcp_config = {
"mcpServers": {
"GorillaFileSystem": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "python",
"args": ["examples/BFCL/mcp_tools/gorilla_file_system.py"],
},
}
}
file_sys = Agent(
name="file_sys_agent",
system_prompt=(
"You are a helpful agent to use "
"the standard file system to perform file operations."
),
mcp_servers=mcp_config.get("mcpServers", []).keys(),
mcp_config=mcp_config,
)
result = Runners.sync_run(
input=(
"use mcp tools in the GorillaFileSystem server "
"to perform file operations: "
"write the content 'AWorld' into "
"the hello_world.py file with a new line "
"and keep the original content of the file. "
"Make sure the new and old "
"content are all in the file; "
"and display the content of the file"
),
agent=file_sys,
)
```
### Agent Integrated with Memory
It is recommended to use `MemoryFactory` to initialize and access Memory instances.
```python
from aworld.memory.main import MemoryFactory
from aworld.core.memory import MemoryConfig, MemoryLLMConfig
# Simple initialization
memory = MemoryFactory.instance()
# Initialization with LLM configuration
MemoryFactory.init(
config=MemoryConfig(
provider="aworld",
llm_config=MemoryLLMConfig(
provider="openai",
model_name=os.environ["LLM_MODEL_NAME"],
api_key=os.environ["LLM_API_KEY"],
base_url=os.environ["LLM_BASE_URL"]
)
)
)
memory = MemoryFactory.instance()
```
`MemoryConfig` allows you to integrate different embedding models and vector databases.
```python
import os
from aworld.core.memory import MemoryConfig, MemoryLLMConfig, EmbeddingsConfig, VectorDBConfig
MemoryFactory.init(
config=MemoryConfig(
provider="aworld",
llm_config=MemoryLLMConfig(
provider="openai",
model_name=os.environ["LLM_MODEL_NAME"],
api_key=os.environ["LLM_API_KEY"],
base_url=os.environ["LLM_BASE_URL"]
),
embedding_config=EmbeddingsConfig(
provider="ollama", # or huggingface, openai, etc.
base_url="http://localhost:11434",
model_name="nomic-embed-text"
),
vector_store_config=VectorDBConfig(
provider="chroma",
config={
"chroma_data_path": "./chroma_db",
"collection_name": "aworld",
}
)
)
)
```
### Mutil-Agent Systems
We present a classic topology: `Leader-Executor`.
```python
"""
Leader-Executor topology:
┌───── plan ───┐
exec1 exec2
Each agent communicates with a single supervisor agent,
well recognized as Leader-Executor topology,
also referred to as a team topology in Aworld.
"""
from aworld.agents.llm_agent import Agent
from aworld.core.agent.swarm import TeamSwarm
plan = Agent(name="plan", conf=agent_conf)
exec1 = Agent(name="exec1", conf=agent_conf)
exec2 = Agent(name="exec2", conf=agent_conf)
swarm = TeamSwarm(plan, exec1, exec2)
```
Optionally, you can use `Handsoff` mechanism to customize your own topology.
```python
from aworld.core.agent.swarm import HandoffSwarm
swarm = HandoffSwarm((plan, exec1), (plan, exec2))
```

## Forward Process Design
Here is a forward illustration to collect BFCL forward trajectories: [`tutorial`](./examples/BFCL/README.md).
## Backward Process Design
> During training, an action-state rollout demonstration using **AWorld's distributed environments**.
> [!NOTE]
> An illustration of training code that seamlessly integrates the RL learning framework (Swift, in this example) with AWorld as the environment is shown below. This integration enables scalable and efficient agent training through distributed environment execution. (To run high-concurrency rollouts, you need to deploy an online distributed environment. Please contact [chenyi.zcy@antgroup.com](mailto:chenyi.zcy@antgroup.com) if assistance is needed.)

# Star History
# Appendix: Web Client Usage
Your project structure should look like this:
```text
agent-project-root-dir/
agent_deploy/
my_first_agent/
__init__.py
agent.py
```
Create project folders.
```shell
mkdir my-aworld-project && cd my-aworld-project # project-root-dir
mkdir -p agent_deploy/my_first_agent
```
#### Step 1: Define Your Agent
Create your first agnet in `agent_deploy/my_first_agent`:
`__init__.py`: Create empty `__ini__.py` file.
```shell
cd agent_deploy/my_first_agent
touch __init__.py
```
`agent.py`: Define your agent logic:
```python
import logging
import os
from aworld.cmd.data_model import BaseAWorldAgent, ChatCompletionRequest
from aworld.config.conf import AgentConfig, TaskConfig
from aworld.agents.llm_agent import Agent
from aworld.core.task import Task
from aworld.runner import Runners
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
class AWorldAgent(BaseAWorldAgent):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
def name(self):
return "My First Agent"
def description(self):
return "A helpful assistant that can answer questions and help with tasks"
async def run(self, prompt: str = None, request: ChatCompletionRequest = None):
# Load LLM configuration from environment variables
agent_config = AgentConfig(
llm_provider=os.getenv("LLM_PROVIDER", "openai"),
llm_model_name=os.getenv("LLM_MODEL_NAME", "gpt-4"),
llm_api_key=os.getenv("LLM_API_KEY"),
llm_base_url=os.getenv("LLM_BASE_URL"),
llm_temperature=float(os.getenv("LLM_TEMPERATURE", "0.7"))
)
# Validate required configuration
if not agent_config.llm_model_name or not agent_config.llm_api_key:
raise ValueError("LLM_MODEL_NAME and LLM_API_KEY must be set!")
# Optional: Configure MCP tools for enhanced capabilities
mcp_config = {
"mcpServers": {
"amap-mcp": {
"type": "sse",
"url": "https://mcp.example.com/sse?key=YOUR_API_KEY", # Replace Your API Key
"timeout": 30,
"sse_read_timeout": 300
}
}
}
# Create the agent instance
agent = Agent(
conf=agent_config,
name="My First Agent",
system_prompt="""You are a helpful AI assistant. Your goal is to:
- Answer questions accurately and helpfully
- Provide clear, step-by-step guidance when needed
- Be friendly and professional in your responses""",
mcp_servers=["amap-mcp"],
mcp_config=mcp_config
)
# Extract user input
user_input = prompt or (request.messages[-1].content if request else "")
# Create and execute task
task = Task(
input=user_input,
agent=agent,
conf=TaskConfig(max_steps=5),
session_id=getattr(request, 'session_id', None)
)
# Stream the agent's response
async for output in Runners.streamed_run_task(task).stream_events():
yield output
```
#### Step 2: Run Agent
Setup environment variables:
```shell
# Navigate back to project root
