OpenAGI: When LLM Meets Domain Experts (2304.04370v6)

Published 10 Apr 2023 in cs.AI, cs.CL, and cs.LG

Abstract: Human Intelligence (HI) excels at combining basic skills to solve complex tasks. This capability is vital for AI and should be embedded in comprehensive AI Agents, enabling them to harness expert models for complex task-solving towards AGI. LLMs show promising learning and reasoning abilities, and can effectively use external models, tools, plugins, or APIs to tackle complex problems. In this work, we introduce OpenAGI, an open-source AGI research and development platform designed for solving multi-step, real-world tasks. Specifically, OpenAGI uses a dual strategy, integrating standard benchmark tasks for benchmarking and evaluation, and open-ended tasks including more expandable models, tools, plugins, or APIs for creative problem-solving. Tasks are presented as natural language queries to the LLM, which then selects and executes appropriate models. We also propose a Reinforcement Learning from Task Feedback (RLTF) mechanism that uses task results to improve the LLM's task-solving ability, which creates a self-improving AI feedback loop. While we acknowledge that AGI is a broad and multifaceted research challenge with no singularly defined solution path, the integration of LLMs with domain-specific expert models, inspired by mirroring the blend of general and specialized intelligence in humans, offers a promising approach towards AGI. We are open-sourcing the OpenAGI project's code, dataset, benchmarks, evaluation methods, and the UI demo to foster community involvement in AGI advancement: https://github.com/agiresearch/OpenAGI.

Introduction

The intersection of human expertise and artificial intelligence presents a new horizon for problem-solving capabilities. A recent conceptual milestone in this domain is the development of what is known as OpenAGI, a research and development platform crafted to tackle real-world, multi-step tasks with a level of proficiency that approaches human intelligence. OpenAGI is built upon the integration of LLMs with various domain-specific models, aptly termed as expert models.

Core Concepts

OpenAGI operates utilizing a dual approach that combines traditional benchmark tasks and open-ended problem-solving for more creative tasks. With regard to benchmark tasks, OpenAGI leverages a diverse collection of expert models ranging from sentiment analysis to image super-resolution. These tasks are formulated as natural language queries, which are then interpreted and executed by the LLM to derive appropriate solutions. This strategy ensures a consistent platform for evaluating the planning and execution faculties of the AI system.

An intrinsic part of OpenAGI's intent is to mirror the intricate blend of general and specialized intelligence observed in humans. To capture this, OpenAGI introduces the concept of Reinforcement Learning from Task Feedback (RLTF). RLTF employs task performance feedback to refine the AI's decision-making process, aligning it ever closer to optimization and task-specific nuancing.

Challenges and Responses

While OpenAGI represents a significant leap forward, it is not without challenges. Extending the platform's capabilities, dealing with nonlinear task planning, and quantitative evaluations of multi-modal tasks are some hurdles that require inventive solutions. The RLTF, for instance, is a direct response to streamline the LLM's planning strategies, enabling more accurate and contextually relevant action plans.

Conclusion

The research highlights that even though AGI remains a vast field with much ground to cover, the approach of intertwining LLMs with domain expertise catalyzes the journey towards more generalizable AI solutions. Furthermore, this open-source platform welcomes community involvement, aimed at fostering synergy in the AGI sphere. By quantitatively capturing LLM's planning abilities and fostering a feedback-informed learning environment, OpenAGI not only carves a niche for challenging AI tasks but also sets a collaborative precedent for future advancements in the field.

Overview

This paper introduces OpenAGI, a free and open platform that helps AI systems solve complex, real-world problems by combining a general “smart” LLM (like GPT) with many small expert tools (like image enhancers, translators, or calculators). The goal is to move toward AGI—AI that can handle many different tasks—by letting a LLM plan and use the right tools to get the job done, and learn from the results to get better over time.

Key Objectives

The authors set out to:

  • Build a platform (OpenAGI) where an LLM acts like a team captain, choosing and coordinating the right expert tools to solve multi-step tasks.
  • Provide two kinds of tasks:
    • Benchmark tasks with datasets and scores so researchers can fairly compare different AI systems.
    • Open-ended tasks that encourage creativity, like making art or researching online.
  • Create a new training method called RLTF (Reinforcement Learning from Task Feedback) so the LLM can improve using simple task results (like scores), not just human-labeled data.
  • Test different LLMs (both open-source and closed-source) to see how well they plan, select tools, and solve complex tasks.

Methods and Approach

Think of the LLM as a coach, and the expert models as specialist players. The coach reads a problem described in plain language, makes a playbook (a plan), picks the right players (tools), and runs the plays (executes the tools in order).

Here’s how OpenAGI works in everyday terms:

  • Task input: A problem is written in natural language (for example: “Clean up this blurry, noisy photo and describe what’s in it”).
  • Planning: The LLM designs a step-by-step plan. This can be linear (one step after another) or non-linear (some steps can happen in parallel or in a branching structure).
  • Tool selection and execution: The LLM picks expert tools from a growing library—like image denoising, super-resolution, translation, question answering, or text-to-image generation—and runs them in the planned order.
  • Evaluation: The platform measures how well the solution worked using standard scores:
    • BERT Score: Checks how similar the output text is to a “good” text.
    • CLIP Score: Rates how well an image matches a text description.
    • ViT Score: Measures how similar two images are.
  • Learning from feedback (RLTF): This is like playing a video game and looking at your score after each level. The LLM uses the task results (scores) to tweak its future plans. Unlike RLHF (Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback), RLTF doesn’t need people to label every answer—it learns from how well it did.

They also:

  • Built 185 multi-step tasks across text, images, and combined text+image inputs.
  • Included a parser that helps turn the LLM’s written plan into a clear list of tools to run.
  • Tested with different prompting styles (short vs detailed prompts) to see how they affect performance.

Main Findings and Why They Matter

What they discovered:

  • Closed-source LLMs (like GPT-4) generally perform best out of the box (especially with “zero-shot” or “few-shot” prompts).
  • Open-source LLMs (like LLaMA-2) improve a lot when they are fine-tuned and especially when trained with RLTF. With RLTF, some smaller open models got close to GPT-3.5’s performance on these tasks.
  • Detailed prompts can help strong models, but may confuse smaller open-source models during tool selection.
  • The LLM can handle non-linear plans (not just simple step-by-step), which is important for real-world problems that need branching or parallel steps.
  • Everything—code, datasets, tasks, benchmarks, and a demo—is open-sourced, making it easy for the community to extend and test new ideas.

Why it matters:

  • Combining a general LLM with many expert tools is a powerful, practical path toward more capable AI.
  • RLTF shows a way to make AI self-improve using task scores, reducing the need for expensive human labeling.
  • Standard benchmarks make it easier to compare systems and push progress forward.

Implications and Potential Impact

OpenAGI points toward AI that can:

  • Plan and use the right tools to solve complex, multi-step problems across different kinds of data (text, images, and more).
  • Learn from its own results and get better over time without constant human supervision.
  • Support creative tasks (like making art with a theme) and practical tasks (like cleaning up images and answering questions about them).

The authors also suggest future directions:

  • Human-in-the-loop agents: When a tool is missing or unclear, the AI could ask a human expert as part of its plan.
  • Trustworthy agents: Build safety and ethical checks into the planning process.
  • Self-improving agents: Let the AI generate new tasks to practice, reflect on mistakes, and improve by itself.

In short, OpenAGI provides a flexible, community-friendly platform and a learning method (RLTF) that together help LLMs act more like smart, adaptable problem solvers—an important step on the path to AGI.

Knowledge Gaps

Knowledge gaps, limitations, and open questions

Below is a concise, actionable list of what remains missing, uncertain, or unexplored in the paper that future researchers could address.

  • Reward design in RLTF:
    • How exactly “task feedback” is computed across heterogeneous tasks (e.g., weighting and normalization of CLIP/BERTScore/ViT vs. task-specific metrics) and how multi-objective rewards are combined is unspecified.
    • Sensitivity of RLTF performance to reward shaping, normalization, and credit assignment across steps remains unstudied.
    • Risk of reward hacking (optimizing proxy metrics while degrading true task utility) is unaddressed.
  • RL algorithm choices and stability:
    • Only REINFORCE is used; no comparisons to lower-variance or more sample-efficient methods (e.g., PPO, A2C, SAC) or to off-policy approaches.
    • No analysis of RLTF variance, convergence behavior, sample efficiency, or training stability across seeds and task mixes.
    • Lack of ablations isolating the contribution of constrained beam search, parser quality, and RLTF components.
  • Generalization and transfer:
    • OOD generalization is asserted but not systematically measured (e.g., to unseen tools, unseen compositions, or novel task structures).
    • No analysis of transfer to tasks that differ in composition depth, branching factor, or modality from training tasks.
    • No curriculum learning or difficulty-aware training to assess scaling with task complexity.
  • Plan optimality and non-linear planning quality:
    • No quantitative metric for plan optimality or minimality (e.g., unnecessary tools invoked, cost-aware planning, or execution latency).
    • Non-linear planning is demonstrated qualitatively but lacks systematic evaluation against linear baselines across tasks that truly require non-linearity.
    • Absence of diagnostics on failure modes in planning (e.g., ordering mistakes, missing prerequisites, redundant steps).
  • Evaluation metrics and coverage:
    • Heavy reliance on CLIP/BERTScore/ViT limits validity for many tasks (e.g., detection mAP, VQA accuracy, ROUGE/CIDEr, task success in QA/NLU).
    • No human evaluation for open-ended or creative outputs, and no inter-annotator agreement for qualitative assessments.
    • No statistical significance testing or confidence intervals to validate reported improvements.
  • Benchmark design and representativeness:
    • The 185 tasks are largely constructed through synthetic augmentations; their ecological validity (vs. real-world degradations and compositions) is untested.
    • Task coverage is limited (e.g., no speech, time-series, tabular reasoning, code execution, robotics/embodied tasks, multi-turn interactive tasks).
    • The necessity of non-linear strategies for the 68 “non-linear” tasks is not validated with ground-truth dependency graphs.
  • Dataset splits and sampling:
    • Training and test splits use 10% each without detailed stratification by modality, difficulty, or composition complexity; no cross-validation is provided.
    • Potential leakage and alignment issues (datasets chosen to match model training distributions) may inflate performance; not systematically controlled.
  • Tool/model integration at scale:
    • Extensibility is claimed but not stress-tested with large tool catalogs (scaling behavior, search complexity, tool discovery, and selection accuracy).
    • No evaluation of failure handling (tool/API downtime, inconsistent outputs, version drift), fallback strategies, or re-planning mechanisms.
    • No formal type system or schema checking for tool I/O compatibility, pre/post-conditions, or data validation beyond prompt-based constraints.
  • Execution engine, reliability, and parsing:
    • The “planning solution parser” relies on GPT-3.5, introducing a dependency and potential error propagation; parser robustness and error rates are unmeasured.
    • Lack of instrumentation and observability (step-level logs, tracing, dependency graphs) for debugging plan execution failures.
  • Comparisons to alternative planners/agents:
    • No quantitative comparisons to structured planning baselines (e.g., PDDL planners, program synthesis) or to agent frameworks (AutoGPT, HuggingGPT) under identical conditions.
    • No analysis of hybrid approaches that combine symbolic planning or search with LLMs for tool orchestration.
  • Fairness of model comparisons:
    • Open-source LLMs are fine-tuned/RLTF-tuned while closed-source models are not; fairness and comparability of results are unclear.
    • Using a closed-source LLM (GPT-3.5) as a parser may advantage closed-source pipelines; impact on results is unquantified.
  • Open-ended task evaluation:
    • Creative multi-output generation (e.g., art, poem, music) is shown only qualitatively; no framework for evaluating coherence, aesthetics, or cultural fidelity.
    • RLTF is not demonstrated on open-ended tasks, leaving reward definition and optimization for such tasks unresolved.
  • Cost, latency, and environmental impact:
    • No measurement of computational cost, wall-clock latency per task/plan, energy usage, or carbon footprint—especially important for RLTF that requires repeated tool calls.
    • No cost-aware planning (e.g., penalizing expensive or slow tools), budget constraints, or resource allocation policies.
  • Data, labels, and reproducibility:
    • “Manually curated, feasible solutions” used for few-shot/fine-tuning are not fully specified (annotation protocol, inter-annotator agreement, release plans).
    • Reproducibility risks due to closed-source models, non-deterministic APIs, and tool versioning are not mitigated (version pinning, seeds, exact execution environment).
  • Safety, security, and ethics:
    • Use of external tools/APIs lacks guardrails for data privacy, prompt injection, output sanitization, and harmful content mitigation.
    • No safety constraints or ethical compliance checks during planning/execution; future work mentions “trustworthy agents” but no current safeguards.
  • Robustness to non-stationarity:
    • Tools/models evolve over time; robustness to version changes, deprecations, and interface drift is untested.
    • No continuous evaluation or monitoring to detect and adapt to environment changes.
  • Configuration and parameter selection:
    • Planning only selects tool sequences; it does not optimize tool hyperparameters or control settings that critically affect performance.
    • No exploration of conditional branching, loops, or dynamic re-parameterization based on intermediate results.
  • Multi-agent and human-in-the-loop aspects:
    • Only single-controller LLM is studied; potential benefits of specialized sub-controllers or multi-agent collaboration are unexplored.
    • Human-in-the-loop interventions are listed as future work; no current interface, protocols, or efficacy evaluation.
  • Legal and licensing considerations:
    • Use of third-party datasets/tools/APIs may have licensing/usage constraints; compliance and redistribution policies are not clarified.
  • Coverage of languages and domains:
    • Multilingual capabilities are hinted (e.g., English/German) but not systematically evaluated across languages, scripts, or domain-specific jargon.
    • Domain transfer (e.g., biomedical, finance, law) via appropriate expert tools is not tested.
  • Failure mode taxonomy:
    • No systematic error analysis categorizing failures (e.g., tool selection vs. plan structure vs. data handling), which would guide targeted improvements.
  • Self-improvement loop design:
    • The claimed “self-improving AI feedback loop” lacks formalization of continual learning protocols, catastrophic forgetting mitigation, or safety during self-modification.
  • Benchmark governance and evolution:
    • Procedures for community contributions, task/tool validation, difficulty calibration, and benchmark versioning are not defined.
  • Theoretical framing:
    • No formalism for OpenAGI planning (e.g., as hierarchical MDPs or task graphs), which limits theoretical analysis of guarantees or bounds.

Each item above can be directly operationalized into experiments, ablations, infrastructure features, or evaluation protocols to strengthen the platform’s rigor and real-world applicability.
