September 3 News.TencentYoutuber Labs announced yesterdayOpen SourceAgentorganizing plan Youtu-AgentIt's a new product that is designed to be used out of the box. It focuses on "out-of-the-box use" and claims to allow both professional developers and AI enthusiasts to quickly get started and build their own smart body applications.
Tencent officials said that Youtu-Agent has three core advantages:
- Performance: Shining in authoritative tests, WebWalkerQA based on DeepSeek-V3.1 accuracy 71.47%, GAIA text subset Pass@1 72.8%. runs top-notch without relying on expensive closed-source models;
- Easy to get started: Compatible with DeepSeek, gpt-oss and other modeling APIs and tools, all you need to build an intelligent body is a YAML configuration (like filling out a list), and a single command can run it. It also supports "auto-generation of intelligences", you only need to run a script, it will be like a chat, through Q&A interaction to understand your needs, and then automatically generate and save a configured Agent for you;
- Completely open source: based on the open source ecosystem, does not rely on closed-source APIs, lower cost; support for secondary development and customization, can be used directly, but also on-demand expansion.
Youtu-Agent is an open source framework for real-world applications.Covering multiple application scenarios such as document management, data analysis, academic research and information synthesis.
For example, in a dissertation research scenario, a researcher only needs to input a PDF dissertation, and the framework automatically parses the content, retrieves relevant research, and generates a structured research note, saving time for organization and research.
1AIttached Tencent official use example:
Step 1: Get the code and install it locally
Enter the following command at the command line to pull the code locally from GitHub without having to train or prepare the model yourself.
git clone https://github.com/TencentCloudADP/Youtu-agent.git
cd Youtu-agent
uv sync # or `make sync`
cp env.example env # config necessary API keys
source /venv/bin/activate
//Write configurations for Agent to understand tasks
This step is to write a 'job description' for the intelligence, telling it what to do and how to do it.
Youtu-Agent already has configuration templates ready, and you can define the behavior of the intelligences by writing a YAML file (which can be interpreted as a list of tasks, with descriptions of the model and tools written in a simple format).
For example, the project comes with a configuration file "configs / agents/default.yaml", which defines a smart body that will use the search tool:
defaults.
- /model/base
- /tools/search@toolkits.search
- _self_
agent.
name simple-tool-agent
instructions "You are a helpful assistant that can search the web."
After saving the configuration, just run the following command to invoke this search assistant:
python scripts/cli_chat.py -stream -config default
In addition, Tencent announced plans to open source more tools in September and October, including the Youtu-GraphRAG knowledge graph framework, and the Youtu-Embedding LLM retrieval model.
