Summary of Changes

Hello @MervinPraison, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly enhances the agent framework by integrating advanced reasoning capabilities. It introduces two new specialized agent types, ReasoningAgent and DualBrainAgent, designed to tackle complex problems through structured thought processes and multi-model coordination. A new reasoning module underpins these agents, providing a robust framework for configurable reasoning, step-by-step analysis, confidence scoring, and flow control, ensuring more intelligent and traceable agent behavior.

Highlights

  • New Agent Implementations: I've added two new agent classes, ReasoningAgent and DualBrainAgent, to introduce advanced reasoning capabilities into the system. These agents are designed to handle complex problem-solving more effectively.
  • Enhanced Reasoning Framework: A new reasoning module has been introduced, providing core components such as ReasoningConfig for configurable parameters, ActionState for flow control, ReasoningStep for individual steps, and ReasoningTrace for tracking the entire reasoning process, including confidence scoring.
  • Dual-Brain Architecture: The DualBrainAgent specifically implements a 'dual-brain' approach, utilizing separate Large Language Models (LLMs) for conversational responses and analytical reasoning. This allows for more specialized and coordinated problem-solving by leveraging the strengths of different models.
  • Step-by-Step Reasoning: The ReasoningAgent enables agents to perform step-by-step reasoning, track their internal thought processes, and assess confidence levels for each step. This enhances transparency and provides greater control over how complex tasks are approached and solved.

Code Review

This pull request introduces the ReasoningAgent and DualBrainAgent classes, adding advanced reasoning capabilities. The implementation of the data models in reasoning.py is well-structured. The main concerns are that the ReasoningAgent doesn't fully implement the step-by-step reasoning parsing, and the DualBrainAgent has a potential thread-safety issue. Addressing these, along with adding unit tests, will improve the robustness of this feature.

critical

The chat method instructs the LLM to perform step-by-step reasoning but does not parse the response to create ReasoningStep objects, so the reasoning_trace.steps list remains empty. Define a structured format (e.g., JSON) for the LLM to return reasoning steps, update the prompt to request the output in that format, and parse the LLM's response to populate the trace.

high

The _reason_with_analytical_brain method modifies the instance attribute self.llm, which is not thread-safe. If chat() is called concurrently, this could lead to race conditions. Consider passing the LLM configuration directly to the chat completion method or creating a temporary, isolated client for the reasoning call.

The calculation for overall_confidence can result in a ZeroDivisionError if self.reasoning_trace.steps is empty. Add a check to prevent this.

Consider defining the default model names ("gpt-4o" on line 70, and "o1-preview" on lines 75 and 88) as constants to improve maintainability. This centralizes these values, making them easier to update.

main_llm = llm or "gpt-4o"  # Consider making this a module-level constant

Instead of directly updating self.reasoning_llm_config with the entire reasoning_config dictionary, selectively update only the keys relevant to the LLM configuration (model, temperature, system_prompt). This prevents potential issues if reasoning_config contains unrelated parameters.

        if isinstance(reasoning_config, dict):
            llm_config_keys = {"model", "temperature", "system_prompt"}
            llm_specific_config = {k: v for k, v in reasoning_config.items() if k in llm_config_keys}

The confidence scores for the reasoning steps are hardcoded. To make confidence scoring more dynamic, parse the confidence scores from the LLM's response instead of hardcoding them.

Bug: Incorrect Attribute Access in `reason_step` Function

The reason_step function incorrectly attempts to call .get('steps', []) on agent.reasoning_trace. When agent.reasoning_trace exists, it is a ReasoningTrace Pydantic BaseModel object, not a dictionary. Pydantic models do not have a .get() method, leading to an AttributeError. The steps attribute should be accessed directly from the ReasoningTrace object.

src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/reasoning.py#L117-L119

step = ReasoningStep(
step_number=len(getattr(agent, 'reasoning_trace', {}).get('steps', [])) + 1,
title=f"Step {len(getattr(agent, 'reasoning_trace', {}).get('steps', [])) + 1}",
