+**Auto-GPT** is your go-to toolkit for supercharging agents. With its modular and extensible framework, you're empowered to focus on:
-### ๐ด USE `stable` not `master` ๐ด
+- ๐๏ธ **Building** - Lay the foundation for something amazing.
+- ๐งช **Testing** - Fine-tune your agent to perfection.
+- ๐ **Viewing** - See your progress come to life.
-**Download the latest `stable` release from here: https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/Auto-GPT/releases/latest.**
-The `master` branch is under heavy development and may often be in a **broken** state.
+Be part of the revolution! **Auto-GPT** stays at the forefront of AI innovation, featuring the codebase for the reigning champion in the Open-Source ecosystem.

-Auto-GPT is an experimental open-source application showcasing the capabilities of the GPT-4 language model. This program, driven by GPT-4, chains together LLM "thoughts", to autonomously achieve whatever goal you set. As one of the first examples of GPT-4 running fully autonomously, Auto-GPT pushes the boundaries of what is possible with AI.

+## ๐ฅ Current Best Agent: AutoGPT
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
+Among our currently benchmarked agents, Auto-GPT scores the best. This will change after the hackathon - the top-performing generalist agent will earn the esteemed position as the primary AutoGPT ๐
-
-
-
-
-
-
+๐ To enter, submit your benchmark run through the UI.
-
-
-
-
-
-
+## ๐ Quickstart
-
-
-
-
-
-
+- **Jumpstart your journey!** ๐ To activate the best agent, follow the guide [here](https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/Auto-GPT/blob/master/autogpts/autogpt/README.md).
+Want to build your own groundbreaking agent using Auto-GPT? ๐ ๏ธ Fork this repository! Detailed guidance is on the way. There are three major components to focus on:
+### ๐๏ธ the Forge
-
+**Forge your future!** The `forge` is your innovation lab. All the boilerplate code is already handled, letting you channel all your creativity into building a revolutionary agent. It's more than a starting point, it's a launchpad ๐ for your ideas.
-## โ ๏ธ Limitations
+๐ [Learn More](https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/Auto-GPT/tree/master/forge)
-This experiment aims to showcase the potential of GPT-4 but comes with some limitations:
+### ๐ฏ the Benchmark
-1. Not a polished application or product, just an experiment
-2. May not perform well in complex, real-world business scenarios. In fact, if it actually does, please share your results!
-3. Quite expensive to run, so set and monitor your API key limits with OpenAI!
+**Test to impress!** The `benchmark` offers a stringent testing environment. Our framework allows for autonomous, objective performance evaluations, ensuring your agents are primed for real-world action.
-## ๐ก Disclaimer
