MetaGPT: The Multi-Agent Framework

Assign different roles to GPTs to form a collaborative entity for complex tasks.

News

🚀 Mar. 29, 2024: v0.8.0 released. Now you can use Data Interpreter (arxiv, example, code) via pypi package import. Meanwhile, we integrated the RAG module and supported multiple new LLMs.

🚀 Feb. 08, 2024: v0.7.0 released, supporting assigning different LLMs to different Roles. We also introduced Data Interpreter, a powerful agent capable of solving a wide range of real-world problems.

🚀 Jan. 16, 2024: Our paper MetaGPT: Meta Programming for A Multi-Agent Collaborative Framework accepted for oral presentation (top 1.2%) at ICLR 2024, ranking #1 in the LLM-based Agent category.

🚀 Jan. 03, 2024: v0.6.0 released, new features include serialization, upgraded OpenAI package and supported multiple LLM, provided minimal example for debate etc.

🚀 Dec. 15, 2023: v0.5.0 released, introducing some experimental features such as incremental development, multilingual, multiple programming languages, etc.

🔥 Nov. 08, 2023: MetaGPT is selected into Open100: Top 100 Open Source achievements.

🔥 Sep. 01, 2023: MetaGPT tops GitHub Trending Monthly for the 17th time in August 2023.

🌟 Jun. 30, 2023: MetaGPT is now open source.

🌟 Apr. 24, 2023: First line of MetaGPT code committed.

Software Company as Multi-Agent System

1. MetaGPT takes a one line requirement as input and outputs user stories / competitive analysis / requirements / data structures / APIs / documents, etc.
2. Internally, MetaGPT includes product managers / architects / project managers / engineers. It provides the entire process of a software company along with carefully orchestrated SOPs.
   1. Code = SOP(Team) is the core philosophy. We materialize SOP and apply it to teams composed of LLMs.

Get Started

Installation

Ensure that Python 3.9 or later, but less than 3.12, is installed on your system. You can check this by using: python --version.
You can use conda like this: conda create -n metagpt python=3.9 && conda activate metagpt

pip install --upgrade metagpt
# or `pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/geekan/MetaGPT.git`
# or `git clone https://github.com/geekan/MetaGPT && cd MetaGPT && pip install --upgrade -e .`

For detailed installation guidance, please refer to cli_install or docker_install

Configuration

You can init the config of MetaGPT by running the following command, or manually create ~/.metagpt/config2.yaml file:

# Check https://docs.deepwisdom.ai/main/en/guide/get_started/configuration.html for more details
metagpt --init-config  # it will create ~/.metagpt/config2.yaml, just modify it to your needs

You can configure ~/.metagpt/config2.yaml according to the example and doc:

llm:
  api_type: "openai"  # or azure / ollama / groq etc. Check LLMType for more options
  model: "gpt-4-turbo"  # or gpt-3.5-turbo
  base_url: "https://api.openai.com/v1"  # or forward url / other llm url
  api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY"

Usage

After installation, you can use MetaGPT at CLI

metagpt "Create a 2048 game"  # this will create a repo in ./workspace

or use it as library

from metagpt.software_company import generate_repo, ProjectRepo
repo: ProjectRepo = generate_repo("Create a 2048 game")  # or ProjectRepo("<path>")
print(repo)  # it will print the repo structure with files

You can also use Data Interpreter to write code:

import asyncio
from metagpt.roles.di.data_interpreter import DataInterpreter

async def main():
    di = DataInterpreter()
    await di.run("Run data analysis on sklearn Iris dataset, include a plot")

asyncio.run(main())  # or await main() in a jupyter notebook setting
