Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
General Questions
What is The AGI Framework?
The AGI Framework is an open-source, model-agnostic architecture designed to democratize access to artificial general intelligence. It serves as a foundational framework for building AGI systems, enabling universal access to advanced AI capabilities. For more details, see the Introduction.
Why did you choose the MIT License?
We believe that unrestricted access to AGI technology is crucial for:
- Fostering global innovation and collaboration
- Ensuring equitable distribution of technological benefits
- Enabling rapid advancement through community contributions
- Supporting economic transformation and adaptation
How does The AGI Framework support economic transformation?
The framework aims to:
- Enable new business models and economic opportunities
- Support the development of more equitable economic frameworks
- Facilitate education and training for evolving job markets
- Promote sustainable technological advancement
Why was the prototype released early?
The rapid changes in the AI industry necessitated an early release to protect the project's vision and ensure timely contributions from the community. The AGI Framework is a rapid prototype release to address the fast-evolving AI landscape. It includes comprehensive documentation of its architecture and design, allowing developers and organizations to review and contribute to the implementation of high-priority modules and systems. For more details, see the Introduction.
How does The AGI Framework differ from other AI systems?
Unlike browser-based AI agents, The AGI Framework can run anywhere, integrate with any software or hardware system, and support complex, multi-step tasks. It allows full customization of workflows and supports private, on-premises deployment. For a detailed comparison, refer to the AGI Framework Documentation. It also supports a wide range of models and tools, and any module can be configured to use any model with custom system prompts per module. Additionally, the framework is designed to allow non-linear processing, allowing for the execution of tasks and interactions with users while maintaining continuous background operation and learning. For more details, see the Introduction.
Technical Questions
How did you build The AGI Framework?
The AGI Framework started when was working on developing a theoretical AGI model. The model was designed to be a general-purpose model that could be used to create AGI systems. However, I quickly realized that there was no way to build such a model in a reasonable amount of time, or for a reasonable cost. So, the idea was to build a framework that could be used to integrate various AI models and tools into a cohesive system. The framework would be modular, allowing for the integration of any AI model or tool. The framework would also be designed to allow for task execution through a execution engine. From there, I started working on the framework, and the rest is history. For more details, see the Introduction.
