CAMEL

CAMEL is an open-source multi-agent framework for building autonomous AI systems that reason, plan, and act.

CAMEL-AI is an open-source community and framework for finding the scaling laws of agents used in data generation, world simulation, and task automation. It allows users to create atomic reasoning units driven by LLMs, compose societies of agents with defined roles, and integrate interpreters for code execution and analysis. The platform manages memory for long-horizon context, orchestrates retrieval-augmented generation pipelines, and generates synthetic data at scale with self-instruct and verifier loops. It is designed for developers and researchers building multi-agent AI systems, utilizing environments like social networks for world simulation and benchmarks like CRAB for real-world software workflows. Core components include agents, societies, interpreters, memory and storage, RAG pipelines, synthetic data engines, and world simulation platforms.
