GAIA Agent SDK

Developing AI agents capable of handling complex real-world tasks like the GAIA Benchmark typically requires weeks of integrating APIs, writing tool wrappers, and debugging infrastructure. The newly open-sourced GAIA Agent SDK eliminates this friction by providing a production-ready foundation for building 'Super Agents' in seconds.

The GAIA Benchmark Challenge

GAIA evaluates AI systems across reasoning, web search, code execution, and browser automation through increasingly complex tasks (Level 1-3). Traditional approaches demand extensive setup:

// Typical manual process
import { nightmare } from 'agent-dev';
const apiIntegrations = await nightmare({
  duration: 'weeks',
  errorHandling: 'custom_per_service',
  providerResearch: 'endless'
});

SDK Revolution: 3 Lines to Super Agent

GAIA Agent SDK abstracts this complexity:

import { createGaiaAgent } from '@gaia-agent/sdk';
const agent = createGaiaAgent(); // Reads .env automatically
const result = await agent.generate({
  prompt: 'Calculate 15 * 23 and find latest arXiv AI papers'
});

Core Capabilities

  • ReAct Reasoning: Built-in Reasoning + Acting framework for structured task decomposition
  • 18+ Pre-Integrated Tools: Including Tavily/Exa search, E2B sandbox, Steel browser automation, and Mem0 memory
  • Provider Swapping: One-line changes between services (e.g., search: 'exa')
  • Benchmark Mode: Execute GAIA tasks with granular analytics:
    pnpm benchmark:search # Web search tasks
pnpm benchmark:wrong --verbose # Retry failed tasks

Enhanced Benchmark Analytics

The SDK captures unprecedented detail:

{
  "taskId": "abc123",
  "correct": false,
  "toolsUsed": ["search", "calculator"],
  "stepDetails": [/* ReAct trace */],
  "summary": {"totalToolCalls": 7, "hadError": true}
}

Enterprise-Grade Extensibility

// Custom tool integration
import { ToolSDKApiClient } from 'toolsdk/api';
const emailTool = await toolSDK.package('@toolsdk.ai/mcp-send-email').getAISDKTool();

const agent = createGaiaAgent({
  tools: { ...getDefaultTools(), emailTool }
});

Why This Matters

GAIA Agent SDK democratizes top-tier AI agent development, allowing teams to:
1. Validate against rigorous academic benchmarks immediately
2. Swap infrastructure providers without code rewrites
3. Focus on domain logic instead of plumbing

The project’s Apache 2.0 license and automated publishing pipeline () signal its readiness for commercial adoption. For AI engineers battling toolchain fragmentation, this SDK represents the missing link between experimental agents and deployable systems.
