From Zero to AI Hero: Developing Agents with Autogen and OpenAI O1!
Science & Technology
Introduction
Welcome back to another Granularity DOAI tutorial! Today, we're diving into a topic that showcases a radical shift in how we integrate various platforms and tools to achieve significant outcomes in AI development. In this tutorial, we'll create a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) process using Autogen alongside OpenAI Assistants, emphasizing the capabilities of the new OpenAI O1 model.
Understanding OpenAI O1
For those keeping up with AI advancements, the OpenAI O1 model represents a breakthrough in phenomenal reasoning and analytical capabilities. Unlike previous models like GPT-4, the O1 series has been engineered for deeper thought processes and improved reasoning capabilities. This advancement notably includes mechanisms for enhanced Chain of Thought techniques, which enable the model to engage in reasoning at a level akin to PhD-level thinkers in specialized fields.
AI is not here to compete with human intelligence; rather, it’s meant to assist in creating new discoveries that enhance human existence.
Setting Up Our Environment
The setup for this tutorial uses Jupyter Notebooks, which is part of the Anaconda platform. Jupyter is often my preferred IDE for several reasons, including its straightforward package management. In Jupyter, we'll ensure that we import all necessary libraries:
import logging
import os
from autogen import user_proxy, agent
from autogen.agent.chat.contrib import GPTAssistantAgent
Once these libraries are imported, we'll configure logging to help us track the processing of requests and responses.
Creating an AI Assistant
We begin by establishing our assistant configuration. The assistant ID will be retrieved from your OpenAI account, and the configuration list will be filled to align with the O1 mini model.
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logger.setLevel(logging.WARNING)
assistant_id = <Your Assistant ID>
config_list = (
"openai": "01 mini",
# Add your other configurations here
)
Once the configurations are in place, we can create a user proxy, which will enable us to interact with the AI assistant we have established.
Querying the AI Assistant
Now that we've set up our assistant and user proxy successfully, we can begin querying it. A great starting point is to ask the AI to list the topics discussed in a complex Python code document titled Foundations of Computational Agents by David Aloof and Alan K. Macworth.
Given that the document consists of various AI concepts, the AI assistant will respond with a summary based on its reasoning and comprehension capabilities, reflecting the information extracted from the uploaded document.
Advanced Queries with AI Reasoning
The core of this tutorial lies in the interaction with the AI to extract valuable information. For instance, after summarizing the reinforcement learning section, you could request a coded example of a Q-learning algorithm, which the assistant will then produce based on the contents it processed.
The beauty of using the OpenAI O1 model is that it can even handle unique follow-up requests, such as crafting a Q-learning algorithm specifically for financial trading.
Here is an example of how the code is structured for financial trading:
## Introduction
class QLearner:
def __init__(self):
# Initialize Q values and other variables
pass
def choose_action(self):
# Implementation of action selection
pass
def update_q_values(self):
# Code for updating Q values based on actions taken
pass
The AI can articulate how its Q-learning implementation can be improved, emphasizing real-world factors to consider when developing trading strategies.
Integrating Various Tools
As the tutorial progresses, we see the synergy between OpenAI's powerful models and Autogen's flexibility in building assistants. This combination enables developers to create sophisticated learning agents without relying extensively on third-party services like Pinecone or Redis. By centralizing the operations in OpenAI's environment, project management becomes more streamlined, minimizing the number of API keys and dependencies needed.
Final Thoughts
This tutorial illustrates how to blend AI technologies effectively, demonstrating how to create agents that can leverage deep reasoning and provide significant output for various applications. As AI continues to evolve, becoming proficient in these technologies will be essential for developers aiming to stay ahead in the field.
We encourage you to experiment further and explore how these technologies can assist you in developing your AI applications.
