awesome-language-agents
VerifiedCurated collection of language agent papers organized via the CoALA framework.
What is awesome-language-agents?
awesome-language-agents is an open-source GitHub repository that gathers papers on language agents and organizes them according to the CoALA framework. The framework breaks down agent design into external grounding actions and internal actions for reasoning, retrieval, and learning, supported by working and long-term memories.
Papers are labeled by their primary action types such as grounding or reasoning, with dates based on arXiv submissions. The list draws from a larger BibTeX collection and welcomes contributions to expand coverage of highly cited work.
It serves researchers and developers who want a structured starting point for exploring how language models can be turned into agents that plan, act, and learn over time.
