qitos 0.3.0

QitOS - torch-flavor framework for agent researchers

QitOS

QitOS is the torch-flavor framework for agent researchers.

Prototype methods, run benchmarks, and inspect long-horizon trajectories on one AgentModule + Engine kernel with built-in qita observability.

What's New in v0.3.0

• Official reproducible-run foundation with RunSpec, ExperimentSpec, and normalized benchmark outputs.
• New qit bench workflow for run, eval, replay, and export.
• qita replay, export, and diff surfaces for review-grade trajectory inspection.
• Course-style tutorial track plus new reproducibility and failed-run replay guides.

If this direction resonates, please star the repo, open an issue, or contribute. Early feedback matters a lot.

Who QitOS is For

• Method researchers who want to change prompts, parsers, critics, tools, and memory policies without rewriting the runtime.
• Benchmark users who want GAIA, Tau-Bench, and CyBench workflows on the same kernel they use for agent development.
• Long-running agent debuggers who care about trajectory review, replay, diff, and context-collapse diagnosis instead of app scaffolding alone.

Run QitOS in 2 Minutes

The minimal agent in QitOS is a minimal coding agent. It configures a real model, works inside a workspace, edits code, runs a verification command, and leaves behind a qita-ready trace.

pip install "qitos[models]"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
qit demo minimal
qita board --logdir runs

Optional but common for OpenAI-compatible providers:

export OPENAI_BASE_URL="https://api.siliconflow.cn/v1/"
export QITOS_MODEL="Qwen/Qwen3-8B"

qit demo minimal seeds a tiny buggy workspace, asks a model-backed coding agent to fix it, verifies the patch, and writes the trajectory to ./runs.

Then go deeper:

• Want ReAct? See examples/patterns/react.py
• Want a coding agent? See examples/real/coding_agent.py
• Want benchmarks? Start with the benchmark guides

Why QitOS

If you want...	QitOS gives you...
reproducible agent research	a stable AgentModule + Engine kernel
observability	qita board, replay, export, and trace artifacts
benchmark workflows	GAIA, Tau-Bench, and CyBench adapters
less framework glue code	one canonical execution loop

Example Gallery

Core Patterns

• ReAct: text protocol + one-action-per-step baseline.
• PlanAct: explicit plan first, then execute step by step.
• Tree-of-Thought: branch and select before acting.
• Reflexion: actor-critic loop with grounded retry behavior.

Real Agents

• Coding agent: practical coding loop with editor, shell, and memory.
• SWE agent: richer planning-oriented software engineering flow.
• Computer-use agent: web research and computer-use style interaction.
• EPUB reader: document-grounded reasoning with branching.

Evaluation

• GAIA: benchmark runner on the QitOS kernel.
• Tau-Bench: standardized benchmark adapter path.
• CyBench: CTF-like evaluation with guided metrics.

Canonical examples live in:

• examples/quickstart/
• examples/patterns/
• examples/real/
• examples/benchmarks/

Tooling Layout

QiTOS separates tool imports into three layers:

• qitos.kit: the simplest curated entrypoint for common toolsets
• qitos.kit.toolset: scenario-oriented presets and registry builders
• qitos.kit.tool.<domain>: advanced atomic capability imports

Default composition is list-first:

from qitos import ToolRegistry
from qitos.kit.tool.file import ReadFile
from qitos.kit.toolset import coding_tools

registry = ToolRegistry().include_toolset(
    [
        ReadFile(workspace_root="."),
        coding_tools(workspace_root="."),
    ]
)

Status

QitOS is currently Alpha.

• Stable direction: AgentModule + Engine, trace/qita flow, canonical examples, benchmark adapters, and official reproducible-run contracts.
• Likely to evolve: higher-level convenience APIs, some kit modules, and experimental toolsets.
• If you are evaluating adoption, start from the kernel and examples, not assumptions about frozen surface area.
• For ongoing project evolution and upgrade notes, see CHANGELOG.md.
