The advent of large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, PaLM, and GPT-4
has catalyzed remarkable advances in natural language processing, demonstrating
human-like language fluency and reasoning capacities. This position paper
introduces the concept of Professional Agents (PAgents), an application
framework harnessing LLM capabilities to create autonomous agents with
controllable, specialized, interactive, and professional-level competencies. We
posit that PAgents can reshape professional services through continuously
developed expertise. Our proposed PAgents framework entails a tri-layered
architecture for genesis, evolution, and synergy: a base tool layer, a middle
agent layer, and a top synergy layer. This paper aims to spur discourse on
promising real-world applications of LLMs. We argue the increasing
sophistication and integration of PAgents could lead to AI systems exhibiting
professional mastery over complex domains, serving critical needs, and
potentially achieving artificial general intelligence.

大型语言模型的出现催生了自然语言处理的重大进展，通过引入专业代理框架（PAgents）利用 LLM 的能力创建具有可控、专业级、互动型专长的自主代理，我们认为通过持续发展的专业知识，PAgents 可以重塑专业服务。本文旨在激发关于 LLM 的有前景的现实应用的讨论，我们认为 PAgents 的日益复杂和集成可能会导致人工智能系统在复杂领域展示专业掌握能力，服务于重要需求，并潜在地实现人工通用智能。
