Autogen Studio Research is a GitHub-hosted research prototype for building, visualizing, and iterating on multi-agent AI applications. It offers a web-based UI that lets you drag and drop agent components, define communication channels, and configure execution pipelines. Under the hood, it uses a Python SDK to connect to various LLM backends (OpenAI, Azure, local models) and provides real-time logging, metrics, and debugging tools. The platform is designed for rapid prototyping of collaborative agent systems, decision-making workflows, and automated task orchestration.

The Mesa Predator-Prey Model is an open-source, Python-based implementation of the classic Lotka-Volterra predator-prey system, built atop the Mesa agent-based modeling framework. It simulates individual predator and prey agents moving and interacting on a grid where prey reproduce and predators hunt for food to survive. Users can configure initial populations, reproduction probabilities, energy consumption, and other environmental parameters through a web-based interface. The simulation provides real-time visualizations, including heatmaps and population curves, and logs data for post-run analysis. Researchers, educators, and students can extend the model by customizing agent behaviors, adding new species, or integrating complex ecological rules. The project is designed for ease of use, rapid prototyping, and educational demonstrations of emergent ecological dynamics.
