CAMEL
CAMEL is an open-source framework for building and studying multi-agent systems, focusing on finding scaling laws of agents. It provides tools for data generation, task automation, and world simulation, and supports various agent types, models, and environments. It is designed for researchers and developers working on multi-agent AI.
✨ Key features
- Supports up to 1 million agents for large-scale simulations.
- Dynamic communication for real-time agent collaboration.
- Stateful memory for agents to retain context over interactions.
- Integration with multiple benchmarks for performance evaluation.
- Supports various agent types, tasks, models, and environments.
- Automated synthetic data generation and tool integration.
🎯 Use cases
- Generate large-scale synthetic datasets for training LLMs.
- Automate complex tasks with multi-agent collaboration.
- Simulate real-world environments and societies for research.
- Build agent-based applications with tool use and memory.
- Evaluate agent performance on standardized benchmarks.
📦 Installation
🧰 Requirements: Python, OpenAI API key (or other model providers), optional web tools package.
pip install camel-ai
For web tools:
pip install 'camel-ai[web_tools]'
🚀 Usage
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)
❓ FAQ
How do I install CAMEL?
You can install CAMEL via pip: pip install camel-ai. For web tools, use pip install 'camel-ai[web_tools]'.
What models does CAMEL support?
CAMEL supports various model platforms and types, including OpenAI's GPT-4O as shown in the example. It also supports other models as listed in the documentation.
Can I use CAMEL without an OpenAI API key?
The README example uses OpenAI, but CAMEL supports multiple model platforms. You may need to configure other providers accordingly.
How can I get help if I encounter issues?
You can reach out on the CAMEL Discord server at https://discord.camel-ai.org/.
