|
||
We propose to use executable Python **code** to consolidate LLM agents’ **act**ions into a unified action space (**CodeAct**).
|
||
Integrated with a Python interpreter, CodeAct can execute code actions and dynamically revise prior actions or emit new actions upon new observations (e.g., code execution results) through multi-turn interactions.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Why CodeAct?
|
||
|
||
Our extensive analysis of 17 LLMs on API-Bank and a newly curated benchmark [M<sup>3</sup>ToolEval](docs/EVALUATION.md) shows that CodeAct outperforms widely used alternatives like Text and JSON (up to 20% higher success rate). Please check our paper for more detailed analysis!

||
|
||
|
||
## 📁 CodeActInstruct
|
||
|
||
We collect an instruction-tuning dataset CodeActInstruct that consists of 7k multi-turn interactions using CodeAct. Dataset is release at [huggingface dataset 🤗](https://huggingface.co/datasets/xingyaoww/code-act). Please refer to the paper and [this section](#-data-generation-optional) for details of data collection.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
*Dataset Statistics. Token statistics are computed using Llama-2 tokenizer.*
|
||
|
||
## 🪄 CodeActAgent
|
||
|
||
Trained on **CodeActInstruct** and general conversaions, **CodeActAgent** excels at out-of-domain agent tasks compared to open-source models of the same size, while not sacrificing generic performance (e.g., knowledge, dialog). We release two variants of CodeActAgent:
|
||
- **CodeActAgent-Mistral-7b-v0.1** (recommended, [model link](https://huggingface.co/xingyaoww/CodeActAgent-Mistral-7b-v0.1)): using Mistral-7b-v0.1 as the base model with 32k context window.
|
||
- **CodeActAgent-Llama-7b** ([model link](https://huggingface.co/xingyaoww/CodeActAgent-Llama-2-7b)): using Llama-2-7b as the base model with 4k context window.
|
||
|
||
|
||
*Evaluation results for CodeActAgent. ID and OD stand for in-domain and out-of-domain evaluation correspondingly. Overall averaged performance normalizes the MT-Bench score to be consistent with other tasks and excludes in-domain tasks for fair comparison.*
|
||
|
||
|
||
Please check out [our paper](TODO) and [code](https://github.com/xingyaoww/code-act) for more details about data collection, model training, and evaluation.
