ChatArena is an open-source multi-agent language game framework designed to facilitate research and development of autonomous language model agents and their social interactions. It provides a flexible environment for defining multiple AI players, their environments, and their interactions based on Markov Decision Processes. ChatArena supports building, benchmarking, and training language models in multi-agent scenarios, enabling experimentation with cooperative and adversarial agent behaviors. It offers user-friendly interfaces including a web UI and command-line tools, making it accessible for researchers and developers interested in advancing the understanding of multi-agent AI systems.
