Abstract: With the rapid advancement of Large Language Models (LLMs), significant
progress has been made in multi-agent applications. However, the complexities
in coordinating agents' cooperation and LLMs' erratic performance pose notable
challenges in developing robust and efficient multi-agent applications. To
tackle these challenges, we propose AgentScope, a developer-centric multi-agent
platform with message exchange as its core communication mechanism. Together
with abundant syntactic tools, built-in resources, and user-friendly
interactions, our communication mechanism significantly reduces the barriers to
both development and understanding. Towards robust and flexible multi-agent
application, AgentScope provides both built-in and customizable fault tolerance
mechanisms while it is also armed with system-level supports for multi-modal
data generation, storage and transmission. Additionally, we design an
actor-based distribution framework, enabling easy conversion between local and
distributed deployments and automatic parallel optimization without extra
effort. With these features, AgentScope empowers developers to build
applications that fully realize the potential of intelligent agents. We have
released AgentScope at https://github.com/modelscope/agentscope, and hope
AgentScope invites wider participation and innovation in this fast-moving
field.
