Agent Architecture
The organizational structure and interaction patterns of internal components within an AI agent, such as perception, decision-making, and action modules.
Detailed Definition
Agent architecture defines how an AI agent organizes its internal functional modules to achieve its goals. Common architectures include layered architectures, reactive architectures, and BDI (Belief-Desire-Intention) architectures. The choice of appropriate architecture depends on the agent's task complexity, environmental characteristics, and requirements for real-time response, adaptability, and other factors. A well-designed architecture ensures that the agent operates efficiently and reliably. Modern agent architectures often incorporate large language models and advanced reasoning capabilities to handle complex, multi-step tasks in dynamic environments.
