v1.7.0

[1.7.0] - 2024-09-3

Changed

• rename the agent factories for clarity
• rename old basic_agent into deprecated_agent, as we are moving towards only using the entity_agent
• Moving supporting agents code to a more appropriate location
• Make terminators configurable for question of recent memories and set different default terminators for AvailableOptionsPerception (only for this one). This is needed because it often returns a list.
• Normalize rewards by the sum of positive relationships rather than number of players.
• Move LLM selection function used in python launch scripts to a utils file.
• Harmonize parameter name on ObservationSummary with other components.
• Remove variable that is no longer used in all_similar_memories component
• move agent components from component/agent/v2 folder to component/agent. Should also fix the problem introduced by moving old components to to_be_deprecated.
• Moving old agent components into a to_be_deprecated folder. Next CL will move components/agents/v2 into components/agents
• Update mistral wrapper to use latest version of mistral and fix langchain_ollama_model class name.
• Generalise somatic state and identity into an abstracted QuestionByQuery component
• Abstracting question based components into a parent class.
• Port two more legacy reflection components to the v2 entity component system.
• Port the legacy scheduled_hint component to the v2 entity component system
• Parameterize open_question to allow the user to change the labels Question and Answer.
• Improve mistral model wrapper with better error handling. Also added optional functionality to allow the use of different models for choice and text.
• Observation summary component in agent factories now summarizes a time interval that includes the latest timestep.
• adjust html making code to work best with new logging in agents
• Improve importance model.
• Prevent entity agents from continuing to talk beyond the end of a direct quote.
• GM components now specify they work with either basic or entity agents.
• Add check whether game master wants to terminate in the runner.
• Rename typing.component_v2 to typing.entity_component.
• Port basic_agent__supporting_role and somatic_state to use the entity system.
• Improve prompt formatting in basic_entity_agent__main_role
• Make it possible for game master to take a dictionary of action_spec, with a unique action_spec for each player.
• Add default error logging to all measurement channels of component logging.
• Rename temporary_entity_agent__main_role to basic_entity_agent__main_role since it is now feature complete. It is the entity version of basic_agent__main_role.
• improve prompts and logs for the entity agent and its components.
• Update options perception component to the entity component system.
• Add ComponentName typing annotation, instead of str, and improve docsctrings.
• update action spec, which now uses {name} instead of {agent_name}
• Refactor logging out of components as an intermediate step to cleaning up get_last_log uses.
• Rename get_pre_act_context to get_pre_act_value. The context is of the form 'f{label}: {value}'
• Rename EntityComponent to ContextComponent.
• Add missing @OVERRIDES and disable pytype error
• Raise RuntimeError on incorrect get/set of entity
• Use OutputType enum in ActionSpec
• Protect access to the MemoryComponent methods to avoid misuse leading to inconsistent state.
• Remove overrides requirement from memory lib.
• Improve docstring and error checking of ActionSpecIgnored.
• Remove set_pre_act_context from public API of action_spec_ignored component.
• Use component_order in entity agent to order components in act context.
• Implement get_last_log in EntityAgent.
• Improve typing and return value of get_last_log in EntityComponent.
• Improve API for components set_entity and get_entity so it returns a ComponentEntity that has get_phase and get_component.
• update all similar memories component and add it to the temporary entity agent.
• Remove Phase as parameter for context processor components. If the phase is needed, it can be accessed via its containing Entity.
• Rename ComponentsContext to ComponentContextMapping.
• Modernize game master concurrency error handling
• Rename tests dir to testing and move integration test to root.
• Move all contrib code to /contrib folder
• Remove wrong parameter max_characters in call to sample_text in scene_generator.
• Make the secondary game masters be optional when using the run_simulation utility.
• Fix environment configs to fit new entity concept and add factories test.
• Move parts of GenerativeAgent into a new GameObject API.
• Improve GM prompt to reduce frequency of GM equivocation

Added

• Add concept of substrate and scenario, how to configure them, and scripts to evaluate agents submitted for the contest and calculate their Elo ratings.
• Add person_representation component and paranoid agent which uses it.
• Adding supporting players to pub_coordination and puppet agents.
• Add support for relational matrices in CoordinationPayoffs. This allows us to model relationships between players, such as friendship or rivalry.
• Adding the ability to save to memory the output of query component, same as question of recent memories component.
• Create v2 metrics and update the riverbend_elections colab example to use entity_agents and v2 components, including the newly updated metric components.
• Add ollama to requirements
• Add support for more language models.
• v2 version of relationships component
• A new method to the InteractiveDocument class open_question_diversified, which takes a question as input and returns a random answer from a set of 10 possible answers. This method can be used to increase the diversity of the answers that the agent provides.
• Add validation method to ActionSpec
• Add ActionSpec argument validation and convenience functions.
• Add factory for a rational supporting character.
• Add two useful game master components for creating custom environments.
• Remove old style agent factories.
• Adding haggling environment, where agent bargain for fruit.

• add a synthetic user factory
• add rational entity agent main role
• add a pub coordination simulation - add ability to pass thought chains and maximum conversation length to game master factory
• add a class for computing and delivering payoffs in a coordination game.
• Added Amazon Bedrock language model support
• Add a MemoryResult dataclass to represent the result of a memory bank retrieval.
• Add a memory component that is safe and consistent to use outside of the UPDATE phase.
• Adapt more legacy functionality to the new entity agent factory
• Add report_function component, remove clock from all_similar_memories (v2), also add the temporary_entity_agent factory to the factories test, and remove all references to the overrides library.
• Add missing superclass overrides.EnforceOverrides
• Add overrides library to setup.py
• Add a wrapper for AssociativeMemory for compatibility with the new memory banks.
• Add a new typing for memory banks.

• Create a working agent factory using the new entity agent.
• Add a new type of agent using the new component types.
• Add ContextProcessorComponent, a privileged component that processes context from regular components for any of its phases.
• Add a simple act component that behaves like the legacy basic_agent does (concatenating context from components).
• Create a new style of components to be used with a new type of agent.
• Add a simple agent that is backed by an LLM in a shallow way.
• Add restricted inventory contrib component, use it in london esoteric market
