Agent + tool-use harness

A reusable harness: a tool registry, a tool-using agent loop, a task suite, and a scorer.

Trained from scratch in Ropedia Academy — an interactive, bilingual course on embodied & spatial AI. Educational model: small and quick to train; the value is the method and a reproducible pipeline, not a leaderboard score. Try it live in the Ropedia demos Space.

At a glance

Dataset

• Name: Tool-use task suite
• Type: synthetic — procedural
• Size / stats: 5 graded tasks (arithmetic + string ops) with ground-truth answers
• Split: eval suite
• Source: procedural

Training config

No training — a tool registry + ReAct-style loop + scorer over a 5-task suite.

Evaluation results

Inference example

import torch
state = torch.load("model.pt", map_location="cpu")   # this repo's checkpoint
# Rebuild the exact module from the lab notebook (see "Reproduce"), then:
# model.load_state_dict(state); model.eval()

Limitations

Educational scale. Trained quickly on CPU on small or synthetic data, so absolute numbers are not competitive with production systems — the value is the method and a reproducible pipeline. No large-scale data, no hyperparameter sweep, and no multi-seed variance is reported. Not for production use.

Failure cases

Only as strong as the task suite & scorer; brittle tool-call parsing; doesn't probe long-horizon planning.

Reproduce / train your own

One click: open the notebook in Colab → Runtime → GPU → Run all, then run its Publish to the Hugging Face Hub cell.

From a shell:

git clone https://github.com/ChaoYue0307/ropedia-academy.git && cd ropedia-academy
pip install torch numpy matplotlib scikit-learn scikit-image gymnasium
jupyter nbconvert --to notebook --execute notebooks/training/AG_agent_harness.ipynb --output run.ipynb
# optional: override training length, e.g.  STEPS=2000  (or EPISODES=600)  before running
