XAgent
XAgent is an agent framework - An Autonomous LLM Agent for Complex Task Solving.
Overview
XAgent is an open-source experimental Large Language Model (LLM) driven autonomous agent that can automatically solve various tasks. It is designed to be a general-purpose agent that can be applied to a wide range of tasks. XAgent is still in its early stages, and we are working hard to improve it.
๐ Our goal is to create a super-intelligent agent that can solve any given task!
We welcome diverse forms of collaborations, including full-time and part-time roles and more. If you are interested in the frontiers of agents and want to join us in realizing true autonomous agents, please contact us at xagentteam@gmail.com.
XAgent is open-source, written primarily in Python, with 8,549 GitHub stars under the Apache 2.0 license. The latest release is v1.0.0 (2023-11-22).
