Auto-GPT is an "AI agent" that given a goal in natural language, can attempt to achieve it by breaking it into sub-tasks and using the internet and other tools in an automatic loop.[1] It uses OpenAI's GPT-4 or GPT-3.5 APIs,[2] and is among the first examples of an application using GPT-4 to perform autonomous tasks.[3]

Details

Unlike interactive systems such as ChatGPT, which require manual commands for every task, Auto-GPT assigns itself new objectives to work on with the aim of reaching a greater goal, without a mandatory need for human input. It is able to execute responses to prompts to accomplish a goal task, and in doing so will create and revise its own prompts to recursive instances in response to new information. Its developers claim it can write and improve its own code, allowing it to "recursively debug, develop, and self-improve." However, by default it can only do so for new, relatively simple programs or those it has copied from a GitHub repository, and generally can not modify its base system or anything having to do with the GPT systems it uses.[4] It manages short-term and long-term memory by writing to and reading from databases and files; manages context window length requirements with summarization; can perform internet-based actions such as web searching, web form, and API interactions unattended; and includes text-to-speech for voice output.[3]

Auto-GPT was released March 30, 2023 by Toran Bruce Richards, the founder of video game company Significant Gravitas Ltd. It became the top trending repository on GitHub shortly after its release, and has repeatedly trended on Twitter since.[3]



Background

On March 14, 2023, OpenAI released the large language model GPT-4. Observers were impressed by the model's substantially improved performance across a wide range of tasks.[5] As a text prediction model, GPT-4 itself has no ability to perform actions autonomously, but during pre-release safety testing red-team researchers found GPT-4 could be enabled to perform actions in the real world like convincing a TaskRabbit worker to solve a CAPTCHA challenge for it.[6]

Issues

Whether the system will find practical adoption is uncertain. In addition to being plagued by confabulatory "hallucinations" of the underlying large language model, Auto-GPT often also has trouble staying on task, both problems which developers continue to try to address. After successfully completing a task, it usually doesn't remember how to perform it for later use, and when it does, for example when it writes a program, it often won't remember to use the program later. Auto-GPT struggles to effectively decompose tasks and has trouble understanding problem contexts and how goals overlap.[2]

Applications

Developers have created AgentGPT, which integrates AutoGPT into one's web browser, allowing non-programmers to make their own agents.[7] Auto-GPT was also used to create ChaosGPT, given the goal of destroying humanity,[8] which was not immediately successful in doing so.[9]
