From an LLM Swarm to a PDDL-empowered Hive: Planning Self-executed Instructions in a Multi-modal Jungle

In response to the call for agent-based solutions that leverage the ever-increasing capabilities of the deep models' ecosystem, we introduce HIVE -a comprehensive solution for knowledge-aware planning of a set of atomic actions to address input queries and subsequently selecting appropriate models accordingly. HIVE operates over sets of models and, upon receiving natural language instructions (i.e. user queries), schedules and executes explainable plans of atomic actions. These actions can involve one or more of the available models to achieve the overall task, while respecting end-users specific constraints. Notably, HIVE handles tasks that involve multi-modal inputs and outputs, enabling it to handle complex, realworld queries. Our system is capable of planning complex chains of actions while guaranteeing explainability, using an LLM-based formal logic backbone empowered by PDDL operations. We introduce the MUSE benchmark in order to offer a comprehensive evaluation of the multi-modal capabilities of agent systems. Our findings show that our framework redefines the state-of-the-art for task selection, outperforming other competing systems that plan operations across multiple models while offering transparency guarantees while fully adhering to user constraints. ‡ Work done while at Huawei Technologies Ltd. 1 1 016 247 models on https://huggingface.co/models as of October 1 st , 2024.
