Very Large-Scale Multi-Agent Simulation in AgentScope

Papers with Code Trending Papers

Summary

This paper introduces enhancements to the AgentScope platform, featuring an actor-based distributed mechanism and flexible environment support to enable scalable, efficient, and user-friendly very large-scale multi-agent simulations.

Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have opened new avenues for applying multi-agent systems in very large-scale simulations. However, there remain several challenges when conducting multi-agent simulations with existing platforms, such as limited scalability and low efficiency, unsatisfied agent diversity, and effort-intensive management processes. To address these challenges, we develop several new features and components for AgentScope, a user-friendly multi-agent platform, enhancing its convenience and flexibility for supporting very large-scale multi-agent simulations. Specifically, we propose an actor-based distributed mechanism as the underlying technological infrastructure towards great scalability and high efficiency, and provide flexible environment support for simulating various real-world scenarios, which enables parallel execution of multiple agents, centralized workflow orchestration, and both inter-agent and agent-environment interactions among agents. Moreover, we integrate an easy-to-use configurable tool and an automatic background generation pipeline in AgentScope, simplifying the process of creating agents with diverse yet detailed background settings. Last but not least, we provide a web-based interface for conveniently monitoring and managing a large number of agents that might deploy across multiple devices. We conduct a comprehensive simulation to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed enhancements in AgentScope, and provide detailed observations and discussions to highlight the great potential of applying multi-agent systems in large-scale simulations. The source code is released on GitHub at https://github.com/modelscope/agentscope to inspire further research and development in large-scale multi-agent simulations.

Abstract

Enhancements to the AgentScope platform improve scalability, efficiency, and ease of use for large-scale multi-agent simulations through distributed mechanisms, flexible environments, and user-friendly tools.

Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have opened new avenues for applying multi-agent systems in very large-scale simulations.
