GAIA: AI Agent Framework for AMD Ryzen AI
GAIA is AMD's open-source framework for building intelligent AI agents that run locally by default on AMD Ryzen AI hardware. Local inference keeps your data private, avoids cloud usage fees, and supports air-gapped deployment with hardware-accelerated performance.
The terminal UI also supports optional Fireworks AI and AMD LLM Gateway chat through Lemonade. Use /provider to connect and choose a model; cloud chat sends conversation history to the selected provider. See AI provider setup.
Download
See the installation guide for setup instructions.
Note (Email agent): the Email agent installs with
gaia hub install email, which fetches a binary sidecar into your GAIA agents directory — no PyPI wheel and no Node.js toolchain required. An npm client is also published for embedding the agent in a JS/TS app.
Why GAIA?
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Local Inference | Run models on your machine for sensitive workloads and air-gapped deployments |
| No Cloud Inference Fees | Local models require no API subscription; optional cloud providers have their own pricing |
| Privacy-First | HIPAA-compliant, GDPR-friendly—ideal for healthcare, finance, and enterprise |
| Ryzen AI Optimized | Hardware-accelerated inference using NPU + iGPU on AMD Ryzen AI processors |
Build Your First Agent
from gaia.agents.base.agent import Agent
from gaia.agents.base.tools import tool
class MyAgent(Agent):
"""A simple agent with custom tools."""
def _get_system_prompt(self) -> str:
return "You are a helpful assistant."
def _register_tools(self):
@tool
def get_weather(city: str) -> dict:
"""Get weather for a city."""
return {"city": city, "temperature": 72, "conditions": "Sunny"}
agent = MyAgent()
result = agent.process_query("What's the weather in Austin?")
print(result)

Key Capabilities
- Agent Framework — Base class with tool orchestration, state management, and error recovery
- Agent UI — Privacy-first desktop app with chat, file browser, document indexing, and tool execution
- RAG System — Document indexing and semantic search for Q&A over 50+ file formats
- Voice Integration — Whisper ASR + Kokoro TTS for speech interaction (P0 enabling technology)
- Vision Models — Extract text from images with Qwen3-VL-4B
- MCP Integration — Connect to any MCP server for external tool access
- Plugin System — Distribute agents via PyPI with auto-discovery
C++ Framework
A C++17 port of the GAIA base agent framework is available under cpp/. It implements the same agent loop, tool registry, and MCP client interface without any Python dependency — suitable for embedding in native applications or resource-constrained environments.
#include <gaia/agent.h>
class MyAgent : public gaia::Agent {
protected:
std::string getSystemPrompt() const override {
return "You are a helpful assistant.";
}
};

Release Process
To publish a new release (e.g. v0.17.0), create a release PR that updates these 3 files:
| # | File | What to change |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | src/gaia/version.py |
Set __version__ = "0.17.0" |
| 2 | docs/releases/v0.17.0.mdx |
Create release notes (see format guide) |
| 3 | docs/docs.json |
(a) Add "releases/v0.17.0" to the Releases tab pages array, (b) update the navbar label to "v0.17.0 · Lemonade X.Y.Z" |
Then merge and tag:
git tag v0.17.0 && git push origin v0.17.0
CI validates all three files are consistent with the tag before publishing to GitHub Releases and PyPI.
