Title: HybridAgent: Reduz Tokens e Potencializa seu LLM
The HybridAgent is an innovative hybrid agent that has been gaining traction on Hacker News. It addresses the frustration of skyrocketing token costs when using LLMs to perform step-by-step reasoning. The HybridAgent combines symbolic reasoning in latent space with natural language text generation, resulting in reduced token usage, robust planning, and performance that has caught the attention of the Hacker News community.
This article explains how HybridAgent works, how to install it quickly, run real-world use cases, and monitor token consumption.
1. How HybridAgent Works
The HybridAgent leverages a latent vector space to represent concepts, functions, and constraints. Symbolic algorithms, such as graph search, type unification, and constraint resolution, operate on this vector, completely outside of the LLM. The symbolic output is then converted into a short text prompt that the LLM responds to in natural language or invokes external APIs. This architecture significantly reduces the number of tokens sent to the model, as most of the "thinking" occurs internally in the CPU.
2. Quick Installation (Docker + HuggingFace)
1. Clone the repository: `git clone https://github.com/hybridagent/hybridagent.git cd hybridagent`
2. Build the Docker image (includes the Mistral model): `docker build -t hybridagent:latest .`
3. Run the container, exposing port 8000: `docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -e HF_MODEL=mistral-7b-instruct hybridagent:latest`
The HybridAgent REST API will be available at `http://localhost:8000/v1/agent`.
3. Step-by-Step Tutorial
3.1. Basic Endpoint
`curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/v1/agent -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"task": "What is the capital of Norway?"}'`
Output: `{ "answer": "Oslo", "tokens_used": 12 }`
3.2. Python Integration
```python
import requests
url = "http://localhost:8000/v1/agent"
payload = {"task": "Generate a shopping list for a vegan dinner for 4 people"}
r = requests.post(url, json=payload)
print(r.json()["answer"])
```
3.3. Node.js Integration
```javascript
const fetch = require("node-fetch");
(async () => {
const res = await fetch("http://localhost:8000/v1/agent", {
method: "POST",
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
body: JSON.stringify({
task: "What is the fastest car route from São Paulo to Rio de Janeiro?",
}),
});
const data = await res.json();
console.log(data.answer);
})();
```
4. Practical Use Cases
4.1. Automated Code Debugging (Python)
```python
from hybridagent import Agent
agent = Agent()
code = """
def soma(a, b):
return a - b # bug intentional
"""
prompt = f"Find and fix the bug in the code below:\n{code}"
result = agent.run(prompt)
print(result["answer"])
```
Expected output: The bug is in the subtraction operation. The corrected code is: `def soma(a, b): return a + b`
4.2. Travel Planning (Node.js)
```javascript
const { Agent } = require("hybridagent");
(async () => {
const agent = new Agent();
const task = `Plan a 5-day trip to Lisbon: - economy class flights - 2 4-star hotels in the city center - 3 seafood restaurants - maximum budget of 1500 EUR`
const plan = await agent.run(task);
console.log(plan.answer);
})();
```
Example output: Day 1 - Arrive, check-in at Hotel Lisboa Plaza, dinner at Cervejaria Ramiro. Day 2 - City tour, lunch at Time Out Market, dinner at Sea Me. ... Total estimated cost: 1,420 EUR.
5. Token Consumption Benchmark
Traditional LLM (tokens):
- Debug function (10 iterations): 1,200
- Travel planning (5 days): 950
- Simple query (capital): 30
HybridAgent (tokens):
- Debug function (10 iterations): 210
- Travel planning (5 days): 180
- Simple query (capital): 12
Reduction:
- Debug function (10 iterations): 82%
- Travel planning (5 days): 81%
- Simple query (capital): 60%
The reduction comes from HybridAgent solving most of the problem before calling the LLM.
6. Token Monitoring with Slack Alert
6.1. API Wrapper (Python)
```python
# API wrapper code snippet (omitted for brevity)
```
Token monitoring and Slack alerts can be set up using the provided API wrapper, ensuring optimal use of resources and timely notifications when token thresholds are reached.
