Introduction

AWorld (short for Agent World) is an advanced framework where multiple AI agents collaborate to accomplish complex goals, such as those found in the GAIA benchmark. Its core features include:

• Collaboration: Enables event-driven communication on two hierarchical levels—between agents, and between models and environments (e.g., MCP servers).
• Autonomy: Features robust runtime state management for handling multi-step, intricate tasks.
• Evolution: Supports a highly concurrent execution environment, empowering agents to learn and adapt across diverse tasks and environments.

Unlock the power of intelligent teamwork and continuous improvement with AWorld!

What we offer:

For quick evaluation, training, rapid prototyping, and other use cases, we provide Docker images that package the MCP tools, AWorld framework, and models together. This enables users to effortlessly utilize AWorld’s communication protocols and state management features right out of the box. The available Docker images are listed below:

Scenario	Docker	Demo
Evalution	GAIA Evaluation Docker Image. For instructions on building the image, see ./README-docker.md.	▶️ Runing GAIA task in our image
Training	GAIA Training Docker Images, supporting distributed and high-concurrency deployments. Instructions for training are coming soon.

Installation

With Python>=3.11:

pip install aworld

Usage

Quick Start

from aworld.config.conf import AgentConfig
from aworld.core.agent.base import Agent
from aworld.runner import Runners

if __name__ == '__main__':
    agent_config = AgentConfig(
        llm_provider="openai",
        llm_model_name="gpt-4o",

        # Set via environment variable or direct configuration
        # llm_api_key="YOUR_API_KEY", 
        # llm_base_url="https://api.openai.com/v1"
    )

    search = Agent(
        conf=agent_config,
        name="search_agent",
        system_prompt="You are a helpful agent.",
        mcp_servers=["amap-amap-sse"] # MCP server name for agent to use
    )

    # Run agent
    Runners.sync_run(input="Hotels within 1 kilometer of West Lake in Hangzhou",
                     agent=search)

Here is a MCP server config example.

or Creating Your Own Agents (Quick Start Tutorial)

Here is a multi-agent example of running a level2 task from the GAIA benchmark:

from examples.plan_execute.agent import PlanAgent, ExecuteAgent
from examples.tools.common import Agents, Tools
from aworld.core.agent.swarm import Swarm
from aworld.core.task import Task
from aworld.config.conf import AgentConfig, TaskConfig
from aworld.dataset.mock import mock_dataset
from aworld.runner import Runners

import os

# Need OPENAI_API_KEY
os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY'] = "your key"
# Optional endpoint settings, default `https://api.openai.com/v1`
# os.environ['OPENAI_ENDPOINT'] = "https://api.openai.com/v1"

# One sample for example
test_sample = mock_dataset("gaia")

# Create agents
plan_config = AgentConfig(
    name=Agents.PLAN.value,
    llm_provider="openai",
    llm_model_name="gpt-4o",
)
agent1 = PlanAgent(conf=plan_config)

exec_config = AgentConfig(
    name=Agents.EXECUTE.value,
    llm_provider="openai",
    llm_model_name="gpt-4o",
)
agent2 = ExecuteAgent(conf=exec_config, tool_names=[Tools.DOCUMENT_ANALYSIS.value])

# Create swarm for multi-agents
# define (head_node, tail_node) edge in the topology graph
# NOTE: the correct order is necessary
swarm = Swarm((agent1, agent2), sequence=False)

# Define a task
task = Task(input=test_sample, swarm=swarm, conf=TaskConfig())

# Run task
result = Runners.sync_run_task(task=task)

print(f"Time cost: {result['time_cost']}")
print(f"Task Answer: {result['task_0']['answer']}")

Time cost: 26.431413888931274
Task Answer: Time-Parking 2: Parallel Universe

Framework Architecture

AWorld uses a client-server architecture with three main components:

1. Client-Server Architecture: Similar to ray, this architecture:

   • Decouples agents and environments for better scalability and flexibility
   • Provides a unified interaction protocol for all agent-environment interactions

2. Agent/Actor:

   • Encapsulates system prompts, tools, mcp servers, and models with the capability to hand off execution to other agents

   Field	Type	Description
   id	string	Unique identifier for the agent
   name	string	Name of the agent
   model_name	string	LLM model name of the agent
   _llm	object	LLM model instance based on model_name (e.g., "gpt-4", "claude-3")
   conf	BaseModel	Configuration inheriting from pydantic BaseModel
   trajectory	object	Memory for maintaining context across interactions
   tool_names	list	List of tools the agent can use
   mcp_servers	list	List of mcp servers the agent can use
   handoffs	list	Agent as tool; list of other agents the agent can delegate tasks to
   finished	bool	Flag indicating whether the agent has completed its task

3. Environment/World Model: Various tools and models in the environment

   • MCP servers
   • Computer interfaces (browser, shell, functions, etc.)
   • World Model

   Tools	Description
   mcp Servers	AWorld seamlessly integrates a rich collection of MCP servers as agent tools
   browser	Controls web browsers for navigation, form filling, and interaction with web pages
   android	Manages Android device simulation for mobile app testing and automation
   shell	Executes shell commands for file operations and system interactions
   code	Runs code snippets in various languages for data processing and automation
   search	Performs web searches and returns structured results for information gathering and summary
   document	Handles file operations including reading, writing, and managing directories

Dual Purpose Framework

AWorld serves two complementary purposes:

Agent Evaluation

• Unified task definitions to run both customized and public benchmarks
• Efficient and stable execution environment
• Detailed test reports measuring efficiency (steps to completion), completion rates, token costs, ect.

  • Reward model as env simulation

• 🤖 AI-Powered Agents:

  • Agent initialization
  • Delegation between multiple agents
  • Asynchronous delegation
  • Human delegation (e.g., for password entry)
  • Pre-deployed open source LLMs powered by state-of-the-art inference frameworks

• 🎛️ Web Interface:

  • UI for execution visualization
  • Server configuration dashboard
