AI agents are artificial entities that sense their environment, make decisions, and take actions. \n\nDue to the versatile and remarkable capabilities they demonstrate, large language models (LLMs) are regarded as potential sparks for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), offering hope for building general AI agents. Many research efforts have leveraged LLMs as the foundation to build AI agents and have achieved significant progress.\n\nIn this repository, we provide a systematic and comprehensive survey on LLM-based agents, and list some must-read papers. \n\nSpecifically, we start by the general conceptual framework for LLM-based agents: comprising three main components: brain, perception, and action, and the framework can be tailored to suit different applications. \nSubsequently, we explore the extensive applications of LLM-based agents in three aspects: single-agent scenarios, multi-agent scenarios, and human-agent cooperation. \nFollowing this, we delve into agent societies, exploring the behavior and personality of LLM-based agents, the social phenomena that emerge when they form societies, and the insights they offer for human society.\nFinally, we discuss a range of key topics and open problems within the fiel","github_created_at":"2023-09-12T14:19:42+00:00","created_at":"2026-07-07T17:34:20.659937+00:00","updated_at":"2026-09-20T04:33:51.36201+00:00","categories":[{"slug":"ai-agents","name":"AI Agents","url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/categories/ai-agents","markdown_url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/categories/ai-agents.md","api_url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/api/graphcanon/categories/ai-agents"},{"slug":"evaluation-observability","name":"Evaluation & Observability","url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/categories/evaluation-observability","markdown_url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/categories/evaluation-observability.md","api_url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/api/graphcanon/categories/evaluation-observability"},{"slug":"model-training","name":"Model Training","url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/categories/model-training","markdown_url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/categories/model-training.md","api_url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/api/graphcanon/categories/model-training"}],"tags":[{"slug":"agent","name":"agent"},{"slug":"evaluation","name":"evaluation"},{"slug":"large-language-models","name":"large-language-models"},{"slug":"llm","name":"llm"},{"slug":"nlp","name":"nlp"},{"slug":"reinforcement-learning","name":"reinforcement learning"},{"slug":"survey","name":"survey"},{"slug":"training","name":"training"}],"trust":{"provenance":{"is_fork":false,"github_id":690609896,"owner_type":"User","methodology":"github_public_v1","parent_repo":null,"near_duplicate_slugs":[]},"computed_at":"2026-09-18T08:50:58.962Z","maintenance":{"label":"Dormant","score":18,"methodology":"github_public_v1","releases_90d":0,"days_since_push":371,"last_release_at":null,"stars_delta_30d":50,"open_issues_delta_30d":1},"security_summary":{"status":"no_lockfile","scanner":null,"low_count":0,"high_count":0,"last_scan_at":"2026-09-18T08:51:00.578Z","medium_count":0,"scan_profile":"none","critical_count":0}},"capability_facts":{"scan":{"source":"repo_scan","observed_at":"2026-09-18T08:50:57.880Z"}},"decision_facts":{"hosting":null,"pricing":null,"requirements":null,"constraints":null,"when_to_use":["When you need a comprehensive list of must-read papers on LLM-based agents, including detailed insights into AgentGym, a framework for developing and training LLM agents through reinforcement learning","If you are interested in the latest developments in training LLM agents for long-horizon decision making through multi-turn reinforcement learning, as detailed in the AgentGym-RL framework","When you require an interactive frontend for visualizing and analyzing agent decision-making processes, provided by AgentGym"],"when_not_to_use":["If you are looking for a tool that focuses on a broader range of AI agent development beyond LLM-based agents, as LLM-Agent-Paper-List is specifically curated for LLM-based agents","When you need real-time updates or a dynamic list of papers, as the repository is a static list and does not automatically update with new publications","If you require a tool that includes practical code implementations for all listed papers, as the repository primarily serves as a list and does not provide comprehensive code for every paper"],"source":"enrich:decision_facts","observed_at":"2026-09-18T10:48:19.229Z"},"constraint_facets":null,"decision_summary":[{"label":"Adopt for","value":"LLM-Agent-Paper-List is a curated repository of essential papers on large language model-based agents, focusing on AgentGym, a framework for developing and training LLM agents through reinforcement learning."}]}}
