| ## 🌟 Introduction |
|
|
| In multi-agent systems, the ability to select the appropriate agent(s) to handle a user query is a key determinant of overall system performance. |
|
|
| TCAndonRouter is a reasoning-centric multi-intent routing module whose primary role is to perform agent routing in multi-agent systems. |
| Beyond agent routing, TCAndonRouter can be applied to any intent-routing scenario, including agent skill selection. |
|
|
| The main advantages of TCAndonRouter include: |
|
|
| + Designed specifically for real-world enterprise applications |
| + Supports dynamic onboarding of new agents (intents) New agents can be added simply by appending their descriptions, without retraining |
| + Provides transparent and interpretable routing decisions, improving explainability, robustness, and cross-domain generalization, and making post-deployment bad-case analysis easier |
| + Effectively resolves agent conflicts caused by overlapping responsibilities, leading to higher-quality final responses. When multiple agents are applicable, TCAndonRouter preserves all relevant agents. Each downstream agent generates its own response, and a Refining Agent subsequently merges these outputs into a single final answer |
|
|
| TCAndonRouter is trained using Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) followed by Reinforcement Learning (DAPO), and achieves state-of-the-art performance on large-scale, real-world enterprise datasets, including HWU64, MINDS14, SGD, and the Tencent Cloud ITSM dataset(QCloud). |

| ## 🔧 How to use |
|
|
| Please refer to [GitHub](https://github.com/Tencent/TCAndon-Router) for code usage. |
|
|
| ```python |
| from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer |
| from prompt import router_prompt |
| from utils import load_config |
| |
| tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("tencent/TCAndon-Router") |
| model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("tencent/TCAndon-Router", device_map="auto") |
| |
| agents = load_config('config/hwu64_config.xml') |
| query = "Can you recommend any pub in mg road" |
| prompt = router_prompt.format(agents=agents) + 'user:' + query |
| |
| messages = [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}] |
| encoding = tokenizer.apply_chat_template( |
| messages, |
| tokenize=True, |
| add_generation_prompt=False, |
| return_tensors="pt" |
| ) |
| |
| outputs = model.generate(encoding.to(model.device), max_new_tokens=2048) |
| output_text = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]) |
| ``` |
| ### Generate Agent Descriptions |
|
|
| If you want to use TCAndonRouter on your own dataset, you need to provide agent descriptions. The required format is defined in `config/xxx_config.xml`. |
| You can generate agent descriptions using an LLM via generate_agent_desc.py, or write them manually. |
| ```shell |
| python generate_agent_desc.py --dataset hwu64 --limit 50 |
| ``` |
