App.py Overview

The impressive AutoBuild functionality streamlines the automated creation of multi-agent systems designed for intricate tasks. Leveraging the Dolphin 2.2.1 Mistral 7B model through LM Studio, here is the entirety of my app.py:

import autogen

from autogen.agentchat.contrib.agent_builder import AgentBuilder

config_path = 'OAI_CONFIG_LIST'

default_llm_config = {
    'temperature': 0,
    'timeout': 600
}

builder = AgentBuilder(config_path=config_path, builder_model='gpt-4', agent_model='gpt-4')

agent_list, agent_configs = builder.build(custom_task + '\nOnly identify the agent name and separate them with comma.', default_llm_config)

def start_task(execution_task: str, agent_list: list, llm_config: dict):
    config_list = autogen.config_list_from_json(config_path, filter_dict={"model": ["gpt-4"]})

    group_chat = autogen.GroupChat(agents=agent_list, messages=[], max_round=12)
    manager = autogen.GroupChatManager(
        groupchat=group_chat, llm_config={"config_list": config_list, **llm_config}
    )
    agent_list[0].initiate_chat(manager, message=execution_task)

start_task(

Agent AutoBuild Approach

Referring back to my previous post, I seamlessly incorporated the AutoBuild agent into addressing my previous question. Continuing with this approach, I’ve refined my task to seek insights into the intricacies of debating the statement, All art requires courage. Do you agree?. These are the modified python code:

autogen.AssistantAgent.DEFAULT_SYSTEM_MESSAGE = """You are a helpful AI assistant.
Define traits for the assigned position to complete the task.
You will assume this position and do not derail from the assigned task.
Reply in less than 100 words.
Reply "TERMINATE" in the end when everything is done.
"""

custom_task = """
I am preparing for my General Paper examination article on the topic 'Does all art require courage?'.
Craft an introduction, provide a structure for the subsequent content with examples to substantiate the points and end with a conclusion.
The article must be less than 1000 words, no infographics or programming is needed.
"""

agent_list, agent_configs = builder.build(
    custom_task + '\n[INST]Provide the agent name and nothing else, separete them with comma.[/INST]', 
    default_llm_config, 
    code_execution_config=False)

def start_task(execution_task: str, agent_list: list, llm_config: dict):
    config_list = autogen.config_list_from_json(config_path, filter_dict={"model": ["gpt-4"]})

    group_chat = autogen.GroupChat(agents=agent_list, messages=[], max_round=4, speaker_selection_method="round_robin")
    manager = autogen.GroupChatManager(
        groupchat=group_chat, llm_config={"config_list": config_list, **llm_config}
    )
    agent_list[0].initiate_chat(manager, message=execution_task)  

Upon executing this refined task, the output provides a unique perspective generated by the AutoBuild agents. This dynamic approach not only enhances the depth of the discussion but also introduces a fresh dimension to the exploration of diverse viewpoints. This is the output:

I. The Definition of Art and Courage
A. Understanding the nature of art and its role in society
Art, in its broadest sense, is a form of human expression that can take various forms such as visual arts,
performing arts, literature, and more. Throughout history, art has played an essential role in societies by 
reflecting cultural values, documenting historical events, and providing emotional catharsis for individuals.

B. Defining courage in the context of art creation
Courage in art creation refers to the willingness of artists to take risks, challenge societal norms, and confront 
difficult subjects through their work. This may involve exploring controversial themes, experimenting with 
unconventional techniques, or pushing boundaries within their chosen medium.

C. Exploring the relationship between art and risk-taking
Artists often face criticism and rejection for their work, which can be seen as a form of risk-taking. However, 
some artists choose to embrace these challenges and use them as fuel for their creative process. By taking risks 
and pushing boundaries, they are able to create unique and thought-provoking pieces that resonate with audiences on 
a deeper level.

II. Examples of Courageous Artists

Cultural factors can also play a significant role in shaping an artist's willingness to take risks and create 
courageous artworks. In some cultures, there may be greater acceptance and encouragement for artists who challenge 
societal norms, while in others, such acts may be met with resistance or even persecution.

C. Societal pressures and expectations shaping artists' choices
Artists often face pressure from society to conform to certain standards or expectations when creating their work. 
However, those who choose to embrace courageous art creation may find themselves at odds with these societal norms. 
By challenging these expectations, they are able to create unique and thought-provoking pieces that resonate with 
audiences on a deeper level.
