AutoGPT/classic

AutoGPT Classic

AutoGPT Classic was an experimental project to demonstrate autonomous GPT-4 operation. It was designed to make GPT-4 independently operate and chain together tasks to achieve more complex goals.

Project Status

This project is unsupported, and dependencies will not be updated. It was an experiment that has concluded its initial research phase. If you want to use AutoGPT, you should use the AutoGPT Platform.

For those interested in autonomous AI agents, we recommend exploring more actively maintained alternatives or referring to this codebase for educational purposes only.

Overview

AutoGPT Classic was one of the first implementations of autonomous AI agents - AI systems that can independently:

• Break down complex goals into smaller tasks
• Execute those tasks using available tools and APIs
• Learn from the results and adjust its approach
• Chain multiple actions together to achieve an objective

Structure

• /benchmark - Performance testing tools
• /forge - Core autonomous agent framework
• /original_autogpt - Original implementation

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+
• Poetry

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT.git
cd classic

# Install forge (core library)
cd forge && poetry install

# Or install original_autogpt (includes forge as dependency)
cd original_autogpt && poetry install

# Install benchmark (optional)
cd benchmark && poetry install

Configuration

Copy the example environment file and add your API keys:

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your OPENAI_API_KEY, etc.

Running

# Run forge agent
cd forge && poetry run python -m forge

# Run original autogpt server
cd original_autogpt && poetry run serve --debug

# Run autogpt CLI
cd original_autogpt && poetry run autogpt

Agents run on http://localhost:8000 by default.

Benchmarking

cd benchmark && poetry run agbenchmark

Testing

cd forge && poetry run pytest
cd original_autogpt && poetry run pytest
