• Abstract summary: Humans excel in critical thinking, planning, reflection, and harnessing available tools to interact with and interpret the world. Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) suggest that machines might also possess the aforementioned human-like capabilities. We introduce KwaiAgents, a generalized information-seeking agent system based on LLMs.

• Abstract: Driven by curiosity, humans have continually sought to explore and understand the world around them, leading to the invention of various tools to satiate this inquisitiveness. Despite not having the capacity to process and memorize vast amounts of information in their brains, humans excel in critical thinking, planning, reflection, and harnessing available tools to interact with and interpret the world, enabling them to find answers efficiently. The recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) suggest that machines might also possess the aforementioned human-like capabilities, allowing them to exhibit powerful abilities even with a constrained parameter count. In this paper, we introduce KwaiAgents, a generalized information-seeking agent system based on LLMs. Within KwaiAgents, we propose an agent system that employs LLMs as its cognitive core, which is capable of understanding a user's query, behavior guidelines, and referencing external documents. The agent can also update and retrieve information from its internal memory, plan and execute actions using a time-aware search-browse toolkit, and ultimately provide a comprehensive response. We further investigate the system's performance when powered by LLMs less advanced than GPT-4, and introduce the Meta-Agent Tuning (MAT) framework, designed to ensure even an open-sourced 7B or 13B model performs well among many agent systems. We exploit both benchmark and human evaluations to systematically validate these capabilities. Extensive experiments show the superiority of our agent system compared to other autonomous agents and highlight the enhanced generalized agent-abilities of our fine-tuned LLMs.

  LLMs have fueled the growth of a diverse range of downstream tasks, leading to an increased demand for AI automation. As AI agent systems tackle more complex tasks and evolve, they involve a wider range of stakeholders. These systems integrate multiple components such as AI agent, RAG pipelines, prompt management, agent capabilities, and observability features. It is essential to shift towards designing AgentOps platforms that ensure observability and traceability across the entire development-to-production life-cycle.
