AutoGen Integration

AutoGen is a powerful multi-agent framework that enables developers to build collaborative AI systems capable of reasoning, planning, and executing complex workflows. By connecting AutoGen to the HPC-AI Tech Model APIs platform, you can power your agents with high-performance models like Minimax-M2.5 through a unified OpenAI-compatible API.

In this guide, we'll walk you through how to integrate AutoGen with HPC-AI Tech.

🚀 Prerequisites

Before we dive in, make sure you have:

AutoGen installed
An HPC-AI Tech API Key (from the Model APIs platform)

🛠️ Configuration: Choose Your Method

AutoGen offers multiple ways to configure model providers depending on your workflow. Pick what suits you best.

Method 1: Interactive Configuration (Recommended)

Best for developers getting started quickly.

Create a new AutoGen project and configure your LLM provider with:

Base URL

https://api.hpc-ai.com/inference/v1

API Key

your-hpc-ai-api-key

Model

minimax/minimax-m2.5

Method 2: Config File (The Structured Way)

Best for reproducibility and production deployments.

Create or edit:

config.yaml

Add:

model_client:
  provider: openai
  base_url: https://api.hpc-ai.com/inference/v1
  api_key: ${HPC_AI_API_KEY}
  model: minimax/minimax-m2.5

Method 3: Environment Variables (The Lightweight Way)

Best for local development or CI/CD pipelines.

export HPC_AI_API_KEY="sk-your-hpc-ai-api-key"
export OPENAI_API_BASE="https://api.hpc-ai.com/inference/v1"

Then initialize your AutoGen agents using:

minimax/minimax-m2.5

as the model.

✅ Verifying the Connection

After configuration, it's important to confirm everything is working correctly.

Start an AutoGen agent workflow
Run a simple multi-agent conversation
Ensure responses are returned successfully from the model

A successful response confirms:

Your API key is valid
The endpoint is reachable
The model is correctly configured

🎯 Summary

By integrating AutoGen with HPC-AI Tech, you unlock:

OpenAI-compatible APIs
Access to multiple state-of-the-art models
Cost-efficient inference
Scalable multi-agent development

Whether you're building autonomous workflows, research assistants, or enterprise AI agents, HPC-AI Tech provides the performance and flexibility needed to scale.

Happy building!
