Resolves #5934 This PR adds ability for `AssistantAgent` to generate a `StructuredMessage[T]` where `T` is the content type in base model. How to use? ```python from typing import Literal from pydantic import BaseModel from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient from autogen_agentchat.ui import Console # The response format for the agent as a Pydantic base model. class AgentResponse(BaseModel): thoughts: str response: Literal["happy", "sad", "neutral"] # Create an agent that uses the OpenAI GPT-4o model which supports structured output. model_client = OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o") agent = AssistantAgent( "assistant", model_client=model_client, system_message="Categorize the input as happy, sad, or neutral following the JSON format.", # Setting the output format to AgentResponse to force the agent to produce a JSON string as response. output_content_type=AgentResponse, ) result = await Console(agent.run_stream(task="I am happy.")) # Check the last message in the result, validate its type, and print the thoughts and response. assert isinstance(result.messages[-1], StructuredMessage) assert isinstance(result.messages[-1].content, AgentResponse) print("Thought: ", result.messages[-1].content.thoughts) print("Response: ", result.messages[-1].content.response) await model_client.close() ``` ``` ---------- user ---------- I am happy. ---------- assistant ---------- { "thoughts": "The user explicitly states they are happy.", "response": "happy" } Thought: The user explicitly states they are happy. Response: happy ``` --------- Co-authored-by: Victor Dibia <victordibia@microsoft.com>
AutoGen Python packages
This directory works as a single uv
workspace containing all project packages. See packages
to discover all project packages.
Migrating from 0.2.x?
Please refer to the migration guide for how to migrate your code from 0.2.x to 0.4.x.
Development
TL;DR, run all checks with:
uv sync --all-extras
source .venv/bin/activate
poe check
Setup
uv
is a package manager that assists in creating the necessary environment and installing packages to run AutoGen.
Note: To prevent incompatibilities between versions the same UV version as is running in CI should be used. Check the version in CI by looking the setup-uv
action, here for example.
For example, to change your version to 0.5.18
, run:
uv self update 0.5.18
Virtual Environment
During development, you may need to test changes made to any of the packages.
To do so, create a virtual environment where the AutoGen packages are installed based on the current state of the directory.
Run the following commands at the root level of the Python directory:
uv sync --all-extras
source .venv/bin/activate
uv sync --all-extras
will create a.venv
directory at the current level and install packages from the current directory along with any other dependencies. Theall-extras
flag adds optional dependencies.source .venv/bin/activate
activates the virtual environment.
Common Tasks
To create a pull request (PR), ensure the following checks are met. You can run each check individually:
- Format:
poe format
- Lint:
poe lint
- Test:
poe test
- Mypy:
poe mypy
- Pyright:
poe pyright
- Build docs:
poe --directory ./packages/autogen-core/ docs-build
- Auto rebuild+serve docs:
poe --directory ./packages/autogen-core/ docs-serve
- Check samples in
python/samples
:poe samples-code-check
Alternatively, you can run all the checks with: poe check
Note
These need to be run in the virtual environment.
Syncing Dependencies
When you pull new changes, you may need to update the dependencies.
To do so, first make sure you are in the virtual environment, and then in the python
directory, run:
uv sync --all-extras
This will update the dependencies in the virtual environment.
Creating a New Package
To create a new package, similar to autogen-core
or autogen-chat
, use the following:
uv sync --python 3.12
source .venv/bin/activate
cookiecutter ./templates/new-package/
