Tencent Youtu Lab has officially open-sourced the intelligent agent framework Youtu-Agent, aiming to help developers and AI enthusiasts quickly build their own intelligent agent applications. Youtu-Agent is designed with the philosophy of "out-of-the-box", allowing users to build and run an intelligent agent through just two simple steps.
First, users need to pull the code from GitHub to their local machine, without needing to train or prepare models themselves. Through simple command-line operations, users can quickly obtain the code and install it. Next, users need to write a YAML configuration file defining the agent's behavior. Youtu-Agent provides configuration templates, and users only need to fill in the descriptions of models and tools according to their needs, which will generate the "job description" for the agent. For example, the project's built-in configuration file defines an agent that uses a search tool. Users just need to run the corresponding command to call this search assistant.
Youtu-Agent has shown excellent performance in authoritative tests. The accuracy rate based on DeepSeek-V3.1 in WebWalkerQA reaches 71.47%, and the Pass@1 rate on the GAIA text subset reaches 72.8%. It does not rely on expensive closed-source models but provides top-tier performance. In addition, Youtu-Agent is compatible with multiple model APIs and tools. Building an intelligent agent only requires one YAML configuration file and one command. It also supports "auto-generating agents" by understanding user needs through Q&A interactions, automatically generating and saving the configured agent.
Youtu-Agent is completely open source, based on the open-source ecosystem, and does not rely on closed-source APIs, making it more cost-effective. It supports secondary development and customization, allowing it to be used directly or extended according to specific needs. This framework is aimed at practical applications, covering multiple scenarios such as file management, data analysis, academic research, and information synthesis. For example, in a paper research scenario, researchers just need to input a PDF paper, and the framework can automatically parse the content, retrieve related studies, and generate structured research notes, greatly saving time on organizing and researching.
Currently, Youtu-Agent supports multiple products on Tencent Cloud. Users can build intelligent agents in a visual way on the Tencent Cloud Intelligent Agent Development Platform (ADP), leveraging the platform's built-in RAG knowledge base and rich plugin tools. At the same time, users can also deploy their own model services quickly with one click on the Tencent Cloud TI platform, or quickly build and release their own intelligent agents through the Yuanqi platform.
