TL;DR

Experiments demonstrate that DevAll reproduces state-of-the-art MAS across three representative tasks at competitive performance and without task-specific orchestration code, highlighting its effectiveness as a general-purpose platform for LLM-based MAS.

Abstract

Large language model (LLM)-based multi-agent systems (MAS) have shown strong potential for solving complex tasks, yet their development forces a tradeoff: code frameworks are expressive but engineering-intensive, while no-code builders simplify authoring but constrain agent interactions to author-defined workflows. We present ChatDev 2.0: DevAll (hereafter DevAll), a no-code platform for building, executing, and inspecting heterogeneous MAS that delivers both high expressiveness and ease of use. In terms of expressiveness, DevAll pairs a declarative executable graph abstraction with a cycle-aware execution engine, so that heterogeneous agents and dynamic and cyclic interactions can be represented and executed within a single framework. For ease of use, an integrated visual interface lets users author, run, monitor, and inspect MAS, including human-in-the-loop steps, entirely without writing code. Experiments demonstrate that DevAll reproduces state-of-the-art MAS across three representative tasks at competitive performance and without task-specific orchestration code, highlighting its effectiveness as a general-purpose platform for LLM-based MAS. DevAll is available at https://github.com/OpenBMB/ChatDev.

Can LLM agents with generic tools perform MBSE tasks, build-up skills and transfer them?

A Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) model can be construed as a complex graph database, and this is true regardless of the underlying modeling language (SysML, SDL, Capella or indeed any Domain Specific Modeling Language). It is hence conceivable that an intelligent artificial agent, for example one based on a Lar...

Agent Gym: A Framework for Continuous Evaluation and Evolution of LLM Agents Through Human-in-the-Loop Feedback

Agent Gym is introduced, a modular, domain-agnostic framework that wraps any existing LLM-based agent in a continuous evaluation-and-evolution loop and introduces the Spec-to-Note Gap, an autoencoder-inspired view of agentic system transparency.

MTAC-IFBench: Benchmarking Instruction-Following in Multi-Turn Agentic Coding

Recently, the rapid development of large language models (LLMs) has reshaped software engineering by enabling autonomous code agents that plan, execute, and utilize external tools iteratively to tackle complex tasks. Beyond achieving functional correctness, these agents must faithfully follow process instructions and c...

Agents are increasingly considered first-class participants in the software development lifecycle. However, architectural choices that govern the collaboration of agents are fixed inside the frameworks that implement multi-agent systems, leading to difficulty of measuring the individual contribution of these architectu...

Decompose to Conquer: A Multi-agent LLM Pipeline for Requirements Engineering and Software Design

The automation of Requirements Engineering (RE) and software design using Large Language Models (LLMs) remains an open challenge, particularly in capturing stakeholders’ intent accurately and fully for complex real-world software. In this work, we investigate whether decomposing the RE and software design phases of the...
