# Building Multi-Agent Systems with LangGraph or CrewAI
Hello, fellow AI enthusiasts! Today, we're diving into the fascinating world of multi-agent systems using two powerful tools: LangGraph and CrewAI. By the end of this post, you'll have a solid understanding of how to set up, train, and deploy these systems using Python. Let's get started!
Prerequisites
Before we dive into the code, make sure you have:
- A modern version of Python (3.6+) installed on your machine.
- Familiarity with Python libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, and TensorFlow or PyTorch.
- Git to clone repositories and manage your project.
- Docker for easier environment setup and deployment.
Introduction to LangGraph and CrewAI
Both LangGraph and CrewAI are tools designed to simplify the development of multi-agent systems. LangGraph provides a flexible framework for defining, training, and deploying agents in various environments, while CrewAI offers a more user-friendly interface for creating and managing multi-agent simulations.
Setting Up LangGraph
To get started with LangGraph, first, clone the repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/langtechai/langgraph.git
cd langgraph
pip install .
Next, let's create a simple environment for our agent to navigate using the EnvBuilder
class:
from langgraph import EnvBuilder, Agent, ActionSpace, ObservationSpace
class MyEnvironment(EnvBuilder):
def __init__(self, width=80, height=60):
self.width = width
self.height = height
super().__init__()
def _reset(self):
self.observation_space = ObservationSpace({'x': 0, 'y': 0})
self.action_space = ActionSpace(['up', 'down', 'left', 'right'])
self._reset_env()
def _step(self, action):
# Implement the logic of your environment here.
pass
Now, create an agent that can move around our environment:
class MyAgent(Agent):
def __init__(self, observation_space, action_space):
super().__init__(observation_space, action_space)
def choose_action(self, observation):
# Implement your agent's decision-making logic here.
pass
Finally, let's run a training session for our agent:
from langgraph import Trainer
def main():
environment = MyEnvironment()
agent = MyAgent(environment.observation_space, environment.action_space)
trainer = Trainer(agent, environment, nb_episodes=1000)
trainer.train()
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
Setting Up CrewAI
To use CrewAI, first, sign up for an account and create a new project at CrewAI. Clone the provided starter repository to your local machine:
git clone https://github.com//.git
cd
pip install -r requirements.txt
Next, open the config.yaml
file and modify it according to your project's needs. This includes defining the environment, agents, training parameters, and more.
Finally, run the training script using Docker:
docker build -t .
docker run -it --rm --name
Conclusion
In this post, we explored how to build multi-agent systems using LangGraph and CrewAI. Both tools provide a powerful foundation for creating complex AI simulations, and their Python-based nature makes them accessible to developers familiar with the language. By leveraging these tools, you can focus on developing intelligent agents and leave the environment setup and training to the frameworks. Happy coding!
