Agent Zero

Build autonomous AI agents powered by TensorX models using Agent Zero — the open-source agentic AI framework.

Overview

Agent Zero is an open-source autonomous AI agent framework that can operate on its own computer, create and use tools, learn from experience, and execute complex workflows. Agent Zero uses LiteLLM under the hood, making it easy to connect to TensorX as a custom provider.

Why Agent Zero + TensorX?

🧠 Autonomous agents — Self-correcting AI that creates its own tools
🔒 Privacy-first — Self-hosted framework + EU-hosted models with zero data retention
🌐 Web UI — Built-in browser-based interface for managing agents
🔧 Tool creation — Agents dynamically create and use tools as needed
💰 Cost-effective — Run complex agent workflows at a fraction of the cost

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ and Node.js 22+
Docker (recommended for sandboxed execution)
A TensorX API key (sign up here)

Installation

git clone https://github.com/agent0ai/agent-zero.git
cd agent-zero
pip install -r requirements.txt

Configuration

Option 1: Web UI Setup

Start Agent Zero:
```
python run_ui.py
```
Open http://localhost:50001 in your browser
Go to Settings and configure:

Setting

Value

Chat Model Provider

Other OpenAI compatible

Chat Model Name

z-ai/glm-5.1

Chat Model API Key

Your TensorX API key

Chat Model API Base

https://api.tensorx.ai/v1

Set the same for Utility Model (or use a faster model like minimax/minimax-m2)

Option 2: Environment Variables

Create a .env file in the Agent Zero root directory:

# Chat model (main agent)
CHAT_MODEL_PROVIDER=other
CHAT_MODEL_NAME=z-ai/glm-5.1
API_KEY_OTHER=your-tensorx-api-key-here
CHAT_MODEL_API_BASE=https://api.tensorx.ai/v1

# Utility model (background tasks)
UTILITY_MODEL_PROVIDER=other
UTILITY_MODEL_NAME=minimax/minimax-m2
UTILITY_MODEL_API_BASE=https://api.tensorx.ai/v1

Replace your-tensorx-api-key-here with your actual TensorX API key from app.tensorx.ai.

Recommended Models

Use Case

Model

Why

Chat model ⭐

z-ai/glm-5.1

Best coding + reasoning performance

Utility model

minimax/minimax-m2

Fast, cheap for background tasks

Complex reasoning

deepseek/deepseek-r1-0528

Deep analysis and planning

Vision tasks

moonshotai/kimi-k2.5

Image understanding, large context

General chat

deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3.1

Balanced performance and cost

Usage

Start the web UI and interact with your agent:

python run_ui.py

Agent Zero will autonomously:

Break down complex tasks into steps
Create and execute tools
Search the web for information
Write and run code
Self-correct when errors occur

Good afternoon
