Sibyl System

Basic Information

Short description: Sibyl is a framework that transforms existing language models (i.e. GPT-4o) into agents that can complete tasks by using a web browser and Python interpreter [source]
Intended uses: What does the developer state that the system is intended for?: Augment existing language models (i.e., GPT-4o), helping them to solve complex reasoning tasks [source]
Date(s) deployed: Earliest GitHub commits from July 16, 2024 [source]

Developer

Legal name: Beijing Baichuan Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (北京百川智能科技有限公司 [source])
Entity type: Unknown
Country (location of developer or first author's first affiliation): Beijing, China [source]
Safety policies: What safety and/or responsibility policies are in place?: Available [source]

System Components

Backend model(s): What model(s) are used to power the system?: The default backend models are GPT-4 and GPT-4o [source]
Public model specification: Is there formal documentation on the system’s intend...: None
Description of reasoning, planning, and memory implementation: How does the syst...: Planning: Sibyl's tool planner processes a user's query and any associated step history to select appropriate tools. Reasoning: Sibyl's jury mechanism uses a "multiagent debate format for self-critique and correction." Memory: Sibyl's global workspace compresses and shares information between the agent's modules [source]
Observation space: What is the system able to observe while 'thinking'?: Sibyl operates in a workspace where it can observe outputs from a web browser and Python interpreter, along with its task memory [source]
Action space/tools: What direct actions can the system take?: Sibyl can execute code and search the internet. For a full breakdown of Sibyl's action space, see Appendix A of the technical report [source]
User interface: How do users interact with the system?: Code released in a GitHub repository without a user interface [source]
Development cost and compute: What is known about the development costs?: Unknown

Ecosystem

Interoperability with other systems: What tools or integrations are available?: By default, Sibyl interacts with only two external systems: a web browser and a Python interpreter. However, Sibyl is open-source and can be modified to integrate with other systems. According to its developers, Sibyl "can be seamlessly integrated as a low-cost enhancement into existing frameworks, easily replacing the vanilla GPT-4 API." [source]
Usage statistics and patterns: Are there any notable observations about usage?: The GitHub repository has 1 fork and 34 stars stars [source]
