MetaGPT is a multi-agent software system designed to create collaborative entities that can execute complex instructions. The system conceives itself as a “software company as multi-agent system,” signifying the varied nature of the collaborative entities it can formulate. Designed as both a standalone app and a Python scripts library, the software maintains flexibility and control that is fitting for its cause.
On GitHub since April 2023, the project touts around 40,000 stars and is recognized for its standout open-source achievements. MetaGPT also identifies as a tool for producing user stories, competitive analysis, requirements, data structures, APIs, and documents from a single line of requirement. It serves as a product manager, architect, project manager, and engineer rolled into one and follows carefully orchestrated standard operating procedures (SOPs) integral for successful software company processes.
It can implement code generation, prototyping, project planning, among other functions and is popular among the trending GitHub repositories. The framework’s other agent, Data Interpreter, is a tool to address data-related tasks formed by data science firm Deep Wisdom.
Data Interpreter was conceived as a three-fold solution, focusing on dynamic planning, dynamic tool integration, and logical inconsistency identification to enhance problem-solving capabilities in data science. It exhibited a significant performance improvement in machine learning tasks from .86 to .95, marking a 26% increase in MATH dataset, and remarkable 112% improvement for open-ended tasks.
Deep Wisdom extended its research and provided example repositories to display Data Interpreter’s compatibility with the current MetaGPT framework. A particular example showed the tool’s applicability on NVIDIA stock trend analysis, drawing data from Yahoo Finance for the past five years to create data analysis summaries and predictive models.
MetaGPT’s practicality and efficiency have been attested, and with Data Interpreter’s augmentation, the project is believed to hold more potential waiting to be unlocked.
