This paper provides a comprehensive introduction to the construction, potential applications, and evaluation of large language model (LLM)-based agents, which is of great significance for a comprehensive understanding of the development of this field and for inspiring future research.
In today's AI era, autonomous agents are considered a promising path towards artificial general intelligence (AGI). The so-called autonomous agent is capable of completing tasks through autonomous planning and instructions. In early development paradigms, the policy function that determines the agent's actions is dominated by heuristics, which are gradually refined in the environment interaction.
However, in unconstrained open-domain environments, it is often difficult for autonomous agents to act with human-level proficiency.
With the great success of large language models (LLMs) in recent years...
