Microsoft Introduces Magnetic-One Generalist Multi-Agent AI System That Can Complete Complex Tasks

Microsoft launched a brand new multi-agent synthetic intelligence (AI) system dubbed Magnetic-One on Monday. The tech large known as it a high-performing system that may activate a number of AI brokers to finish complicated duties through internet browsers on domestically on a tool. It relies on a brand new framework that enables an AI mannequin to entry a number of modalities and capabilities to finish duties corresponding to reserving a ticket, buying a product on-line, or enhancing a doc saved on the gadget. Notably, Microsoft’s Magnetic-One is an open-source venture and is accessible to researchers and builders.

Generative AI has taken an enormous leap in machine intelligence and its functionality to generate outputs throughout textual content, pictures, audio, and video codecs. However, whereas trendy AI programs are nice at retrieving data, they nonetheless stay poor at reasoning, particularly on the subject of fixing issues and finishing duties.

This is why AI brokers, which might be understood as miniature software program able to executing an motion, have grow to be an essential extension of huge language fashions (LLMs). Microsoft’s Magnetic-One additionally works on the identical precept, as detailed in a research paper. The firm describes it as a “high-performing generalist agentic system” designed to finish complicated multi-step duties corresponding to software program engineering, knowledge evaluation, scientific analysis, and internet navigation.

Magnetic-One has a multi-agent structure, which implies one LLM can activate a number of brokers to finish a activity. For this, the AI system prompts a lead agent dubbed the Orchestrator. It directs 4 different brokers the place every agent specialises in a single activity.

For occasion, if the system is requested to guide a ticket for a film, the Orchestrator may set off a imaginative and prescient agent that may have a look at the display screen and course of the visible data. Another may need information of internet browsers and may deal with its navigation. The third might be breaking down the immediate into actionable steps, and the fourth may be capable of deal with monetary transactions. By dividing the duty amongst a number of such specialised brokers, each the accuracy and velocity of completion is elevated.

The open-source Magnetic-One AI system is out there on GitHub and might be accessed here. It is out there to researchers and builders, and will also be used for business functions beneath a customized Microsoft licence. Alongside, Microsoft has additionally launched AutoGenBench, which is a software that evaluates the efficiency of AI brokers. It comes with built-in controls for repetition and isolation to completely take a look at the brokers.
