Lemur: Harmonizing Natural Language and Code for Language Agents

Today's conversational bots like Claude and GPT can chat impressively but aren't great at complex planning or executing technical tasks. To overcome this, new research from HKU builds open-source AI agents that blend natural language and coding skills. They're called Lemur and Lemur-Chat.

The researchers think achieving versatile real-world agents requires models that integrate both fluid natural language abilities and precise programming language control. Humans combine plain speech for higher-level goals with languages like Python when we need to plan …
