Model

In AgentScope, the model deployment and invocation are decoupled by ModelWrapper. Developers can specify their own model by providing model configurations, and AgentScope also provides scripts to support developers to customize model services.

Supported Models

Currently, AgentScope supports the following model service APIs:

OpenAI API, including chat, image generation (DALL-E), and Embedding.
DashScope API, including chat, image sythesis and text embedding.
Gemini API, including chat and embedding.
ZhipuAI API, including chat and embedding.
Ollama API, including chat, embedding and generation.
LiteLLM API, including chat, with various model APIs.
Post Request API, model inference services based on Post requests, including Huggingface/ModelScope Inference API and various post request based model APIs.

Configuration

In AgentScope, users specify the model configuration through the model_configs parameter in the agentscope.init interface. model_configs can be a dictionary, a list of dictionaries, or a path to model configuration file.

import agentscope

agentscope.init(model_configs=MODEL_CONFIG_OR_PATH)

Configuration Format

In AgentScope, the model configuration is a dictionary used to specify the type of model and set the call parameters. We divide the fields in the model configuration into two categories: basic parameters and detailed parameters.

Among them, the basic parameters include config_name and model_type, which are used to distinguish different model configurations and specific ModelWrapper types. The detailed parameters will be fed into the corresponding model class’s constructor to initialize the model instance.

{
    # Basic parameters
    "config_name": "gpt-4-temperature-0.0",  # Model configuration name
    "model_type": "openai_chat",             # Correspond to `ModelWrapper` type

    # Detailed parameters
    # ...
}

Basic Parameters

In basic parameters, config_name is the identifier of the model configuration, which we will use to specify the model service when initializing an agent.

model_type corresponds to the type of ModelWrapper and is used to specify the type of model service. It corresponds to the model_type field in the ModelWrapper class in the source code.

class OpenAIChatWrapper(OpenAIWrapperBase):
    """The model wrapper for OpenAI's chat API."""

    model_type: str = "openai_chat"
    # ...

In the current AgentScope, the supported model_type types, the corresponding ModelWrapper classes, and the supported APIs are as follows:

Detailed Parameters

In AgentScope, the detailed parameters are different according to the different ModelWrapper classes. To specify the detailed parameters, you need to refer to the specific ModelWrapper class and its constructor. Here we provide example configurations for different model wrappers.

Build Model Service from Scratch

For developers who need to build their own model services, AgentScope provides some scripts to help developers quickly build model services. You can find these scripts and instructions in the scripts directory.

Specifically, AgentScope provides the following model service scripts:

About how to quickly start these model services, users can refer to the README.md file under the scripts directory.

Creat Your Own Model Wrapper

AgentScope allows developers to customize their own model wrappers. The new model wrapper class should

inherit from ModelWrapperBase class,
provide a model_type field to identify this model wrapper in the model configuration, and
implement its __init__ and __call__ functions.

The following is an example for creating a new model wrapper class.

from agentscope.models import ModelWrapperBase

class MyModelWrapper(ModelWrapperBase):

    model_type: str = "my_model"

    def __init__(self, config_name, my_arg1, my_arg2, **kwargs):
        # Initialize the model instance
        super().__init__(config_name=config_name)
        # ...

    def __call__(self, input, **kwargs) -> str:
        # Call the model instance
        # ...

After creating the new model wrapper class, the model wrapper will be registered into AgentScope automatically. You can use it in the model configuration directly.

my_model_config = {
    # Basic parameters
    "config_name": "my_model_config",
    "model_type": "my_model",

    # Detailed parameters
    "my_arg1": "xxx",
    "my_arg2": "yyy",
    # ...
}
