InfiAgent: A Multi-Tool Agent for AI Operating Systems

Wednesday, February 14, 2024

Following the launch of GPT4-Agent, GPT4 has demonstrated its flexibility in utilizing
tools like Advanced Data Analytics (ADA, previously known as code interpreter) and DALLE3,
although the details of GPT4-Agent have not been fully disclosed. Over the past years, we
have intensively studied the core functionalities of GPT4, progressively developing a system
comparable to GPT4-Agent, named InfiAgent. Initially, we replicated Codex and discovered
that while existing models such as CodeLlama, StarCoder, and WizardCoder excel in
programming capabilities, they fall short in handling FreeformQA problems for coding. To
address this, we created InfiCoder—the first open-source model capable of handling text-tocode,
code-to-code, and freeform code-related QA tasks simultaneously. Building on this,
we developed InfiCoder-Eval (FreeformQA benchmark), which includes 270 high-quality automated
test questions. Our findings indicate that even GPT4 has room for improvement
in this area (achieving a score rate of only 59.13%). Based on InfiCoder, we launched the
InfiAgent framework, focusing on the field of data analysis. This framework first defines the
problem framework and evaluation objectives for data analysis. Then, in line with the data
analysis scenarios, we developed a specialized Agent system based on the React format and
LLM, effectively addressing data analysis challenges. This system integrates an LLM with
programming capabilities and a sandbox environment for executing Python code, generating
solutions and corresponding code through multiple rounds of dialogues. It is the industry’s first
Agent framework closest to the capabilities of ADA. Additionally, we expanded the application
scenarios of InfiAgent, including a mathematical assistant and multimodal LLM (MLLM)
reasoning tools, achieving excellent results in math and multimodal reasoning. Particularly
in multimodal reasoning, we found that there is significant room for improvement in the current
GPT4V (achieving a score rate of only 74.44%). These achievements not only reveal the
tremendous potential of InfiAgent but also showcase our possible directions in surpassing the
capabilities of GPT4.
