CAMEL Framework Design Principles

🧬 Evolvability

The framework enables multi-agent systems to continuously evolve by generating data and interacting with environments. This evolution can be driven by reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards or supervised learning.

📈 Scalability

The framework is designed to support systems with millions of agents, ensuring efficient coordination, communication, and resource management at scale.

💾 Statefulness

Agents maintain stateful memory, enabling them to perform multi-step interactions with environments and efficiently tackle sophisticated tasks.

📖 Code-as-Prompt

Every line of code and comment serves as a prompt for agents. Code should be written clearly and readably, ensuring both humans and agents can interpret it effectively.

Why Use CAMEL for Your Research?

We are a community-driven research collective comprising over 100 researchers dedicated to advancing frontier research in Multi-Agent Systems. Researchers worldwide choose CAMEL for their studies based on the following reasons.

✅	Large-Scale Agent System	Simulate up to 1M agents to study emergent behaviors and scaling laws in complex, multi-agent environments.
✅	Dynamic Communication	Enable real-time interactions among agents, fostering seamless collaboration for tackling intricate tasks.
✅	Stateful Memory	Equip agents with the ability to retain and leverage historical context, improving decision-making over extended interactions.
✅	Support for Multiple Benchmarks	Utilize standardized benchmarks to rigorously evaluate agent performance, ensuring reproducibility and reliable comparisons.
✅	Support for Different Agent Types	Work with a variety of agent roles, tasks, models, and environments, supporting interdisciplinary experiments and diverse research applications.
✅	Data Generation and Tool Integration	Automate the creation of large-scale, structured datasets while seamlessly integrating with multiple tools, streamlining synthetic data generation and research workflows.

What Can You Build With CAMEL?

1. Data Generation

2. Task Automation

3. World Simulation

Quick Start

Installing CAMEL is a breeze thanks to its availability on PyPI. Simply open your terminal and run:

pip install camel-ai

Starting with ChatAgent

This example demonstrates how to create a ChatAgent using the CAMEL framework and perform a search query using DuckDuckGo.

1. Install the tools package:

pip install 'camel-ai[web_tools]'

2. Set up your OpenAI API key:

export OPENAI_API_KEY='your_openai_api_key'

Alternatively, use a .env file:

cp .env.example .env
# then edit .env and add your keys

3. Run the following Python code:

from camel.models import ModelFactory
from camel.types import ModelPlatformType, ModelType
from camel.agents import ChatAgent
from camel.toolkits import SearchToolkit

model = ModelFactory.create(
  model_platform=ModelPlatformType.OPENAI,
  model_type=ModelType.GPT_4O,
  model_config_dict={"temperature": 0.0},
)

search_tool = SearchToolkit().search_duckduckgo

agent = ChatAgent(model=model, tools=[search_tool])

response_1 = agent.step("What is CAMEL-AI?")
print(response_1.msgs[0].content)
# CAMEL-AI is the first LLM (Large Language Model) multi-agent framework
# and an open-source community focused on finding the scaling laws of agents.
# ...

response_2 = agent.step("What is the Github link to CAMEL framework?")
print(response_2.msgs[0].content)
# The GitHub link to the CAMEL framework is
# [https://github.com/camel-ai/camel](https://github.com/camel-ai/camel).

For more detailed instructions and additional configuration options, check out the installation section.

After running, you can explore our CAMEL Tech Stack and Cookbooks at docs.camel-ai.org to build powerful multi-agent systems.

We provide a demo showcasing a conversation between two ChatGPT agents playing roles as a python programmer and a stock trader collaborating on developing a trading bot for stock market.

Explore different types of agents, their roles, and their applications.
