The framework enables multi-agent systems to continuously evolve by generating data and interacting with environments. This evolution can be driven by reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards or supervised learning.

The framework is designed to support systems with millions of agents, ensuring efficient coordination, communication, and resource management at scale.

Agents maintain stateful memory, enabling them to perform multi-step interactions with environments and efficiently tackle sophisticated tasks.

Every line of code and comment serves as a prompt for agents. Code should be written clearly and readably, ensuring both humans and agents can interpret it effectively.

We are a community-driven research collective comprising over 100 researchers dedicated to advancing frontier research in Multi-Agent Systems. Researchers worldwide choose CAMEL for their studies based on the following reasons.

Installing CAMEL is a breeze thanks to its availability on PyPI. Simply open your terminal and run:

pip install camel-ai

This example demonstrates how to create a ChatAgent using the CAMEL framework and perform a search query using DuckDuckGo.

1. Install the tools package:

pip install 'camel-ai[web_tools]'

2. Set up your OpenAI API key:

export OPENAI_API_KEY='your_openai_api_key'

Alternatively, use a .env file:

cp .env.example .env
# then edit .env and add your keys

3. Run the following Python code:

from camel.models import ModelFactory
from camel.types import ModelPlatformType, ModelType
from camel.agents import ChatAgent
from camel.toolkits import SearchToolkit

model = ModelFactory.create(
  model_platform=ModelPlatformType.OPENAI,
  model_type=ModelType.GPT_4O,
  model_config_dict={"temperature": 0.0},
)

search_tool = SearchToolkit().search_duckduckgo

agent = ChatAgent(model=model, tools=[search_tool])

response_1 = agent.step("What is CAMEL-AI?")
print(response_1.msgs[0].content)
# CAMEL-AI is the first LLM (Large Language Model) multi-agent framework
# and an open-source community focused on finding the scaling laws of agents.
# ...

response_2 = agent.step("What is the Github link to CAMEL framework?")
print(response_2.msgs[0].content)
# The GitHub link to the CAMEL framework is
# [https://github.com/camel-ai/camel](https://github.com/camel-ai/camel).

4. (Optional) Enable model request/response logs:

export CAMEL_MODEL_LOG_ENABLED=true
export CAMEL_MODEL_LOG_MODEL_CONFIG_ENABLED=true
export CAMEL_LOG_DIR=camel_logs

• CAMEL_MODEL_LOG_ENABLED: Enables request/response JSON logs.
• CAMEL_MODEL_LOG_MODEL_CONFIG_ENABLED: Controls whether model_config_dict is logged under request.model_config_dict. When unset, it defaults to the same value as CAMEL_MODEL_LOG_ENABLED.
• CAMEL_LOG_DIR: Directory for generated log files (default: camel_logs).
• Logs are written as UTF-8 JSON with multilingual text preserved (for example Chinese, Japanese, Arabic) without Unicode escape noise.

For more detailed instructions and additional configuration options, check out the installation section.

After running, you can explore our CAMEL Tech Stack and Cookbooks at docs.camel-ai.org to build powerful multi-agent systems.

We provide a demo showcasing a conversation between two ChatGPT agents playing roles as a python programmer and a stock trader collaborating on developing a trading bot for stock market.

Explore different types of agents, their roles, and their applications.

Please reach out to us on CAMEL discord if you encounter any issue set up CAMEL.

Core components and utilities to build, operate, and enhance CAMEL-AI agents and societies.

We believe that studying these agents on a large scale offers valuable insights into their behaviors, capabilities, and potential risks.
