Version 0.6.4

This is the complete documentation for The AGI Framework. If you are looking for a high-level project overview, please see the README.md file.

Abstract

Current Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), exhibit impressive language processing capabilities but remain constrained by their text-centric design. This limits their ability to integrate into diverse real-world applications requiring multi-modal understanding and coordination. The AGI Framework introduces a novel, model-agnostic architecture designed to overcome these limitations. By providing a modular infrastructure, the framework enables seamless integration of various AI models and tools, facilitating conscious intent-driven actions and autonomous execution. Built with a focus on scalability, adaptability, and ethical alignment, the AGI Framework serves as the foundational "frame" for assembling Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) systems. It empowers researchers and developers to incrementally enhance both models and the framework itself, paving the way for AGI applications in personal assistance, industrial automation, scientific research, and beyond. The framework's innovative use of consciousnesses and non-linear processing allows for dynamic interaction and continuous learning, enhancing its ability to adapt to complex, real-world scenarios.

In a Nutshell

Imagine trying to build a car without a proper frame—you might have an incredibly powerful engine or the best wheels money can buy, but without a structure to hold it all together, the car can't function. That's the state of current AI systems. We have powerful engines (models like GPT-o1 and DeepSeek-R1) and wheels (tools like vision systems and speech processors), but no universal framework to bring them together into a coherent, functional system capable of doing much more than its individual parts.

The AGI Framework is that frame. It doesn't reinvent the wheel or the engine—instead, it provides a structure where existing and future technologies can plug in seamlessly and work together. By orchestrating communication between different AI models and tools, this framework enables these components to understand and complement one another, creating behaviors that resemble true intelligence. For example, the framework allows a language model to interpret commands, a vision model to analyze images, and a planning module to create and execute complex strategies—all while ensuring ethical and safe decision-making. The introduction of consciousnesses allows the system to maintain a comprehensive context across interactions, while non-linear processing enables the framework to handle complex tasks efficiently and adaptively.

In simple terms, the AGI Framework gives AI systems the ability to think, plan, and act like a general-purpose assistant by using the best tools available today, while remaining adaptable to future innovations. This approach allows us to unlock AGI's potential without starting from scratch, building on the impressive advancements already achieved in AI research.

Introduction

Current State of AI:

Artificial Intelligence has made remarkable strides, particularly with the advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT, Gemini, Claude, and open-source models like Meta's Llama 3 and DeepSeek-R1. These models demonstrate impressive capabilities in language understanding and generation, often rivaling human performance in specific domains. However, their inherent text-centric design imposes significant limitations when faced with real-world, multi-faceted tasks. For example, while GPT-4 excels at generating coherent text, it struggles with integrating real-time sensory data or making autonomous decisions in dynamic contexts. Key constraints of current LLMs include:

• Lack of Long-Term Memory: Inability to retain and utilize information across extended interactions.
• Limited Reasoning Capabilities: Challenges with complex problem-solving and abstract reasoning outside training data.
