About Paper

HuggingGPT is an LLM-powered agent that leverages large language models like ChatGPT to manage and coordinate a wide array of specialized AI models from the Hugging Face ecosystem. It uses ChatGPT for task planning, model selection, execution, and response summarization, enabling it to solve complex, multi-modal, and multi-domain AI tasks autonomously. By acting as a controller that interfaces with existing AI models through natural language, HuggingGPT demonstrates impressive results in language, vision, speech, and other challenging tasks, paving the way toward artificial general intelligence.

Key Features

LLM-powered task planning using ChatGPT
Model selection from Hugging Face based on function descriptions
