From Theory to Running Code

Catatan ini adalah lab praktik dari aco-agent-routing-deepdive. Semua kode bisa di-copy & run langsung di Python 3.10+ tanpa dependencies tambahan. Setiap section membangun satu konsep — dari ACORouter kosong sampai full simulation dengan 5 provider + rate limit + auto-recovery. assert di akhir tiap section nge-verifikasi bahwa behaviour sesuai spek.

6. Skenario 1 — Standard Dispatch

Semua provider dalam kondisi normal (ability stabil sesuai η).

def normal_ability(agent_id):
    """Provider normal — quality sesuai eta_for."""
    agent = next(a for a in PROVIDERS if a['id'] == agent_id)
    eta = agent['eta_for'].get('coding', 0.5)
    # Small noise
    noise = random.gauss(0, 0.05)
    quality = max(0.1, min(1.0, eta + noise))
    return quality, True
 
# Run
router1 = ACORouter(PROVIDERS)
results = run_simulation(router1, 'coding', rounds=200, ability_fn=normal_ability)
print_results(results, 'coding', 200)
print_convergence(router1, 'coding', every_n=20)
convergence_ascii_chart(router1, 'coding')

Expected output:

============================================================
  CODING — 200 rounds
============================================================
Agent                Dispatch      %  Success  τ akhir
-------------------- --------- ------- -------- ---------
OpenCode Free             80   40.0%       80    1.483
DeepSeek Web              74   37.0%       74    1.523
Gemini Web                32   16.0%       32    0.652
Yuanbao                    8    4.0%        8    0.211
DuckDuckGo                 6    3.0%        6    0.168

OpenCode dan DeepSeek dominan karena η coding tinggi (0.90 dan 0.85). Gemini dapat trafik dari ε-greedy exploration. Yuanbao dan DuckDuckGo hampir tidak terpakai — pheromone mereka di bawah τ_min karena evaporasi > deposit.

7. Skenario 2 — Rate Limit Recovery

Gemini Web tiba-tiba rate-limited di round 50, pulih di round 100.

def rate_limit_ability(round_num):
    """Closure: Gemini bagus di awal, drop di tengah, pulih."""
    def fn(agent_id):
        agent = next(a for a in PROVIDERS if a['id'] == agent_id)
        eta = agent['eta_for'].get('research', 0.5)
        if agent_id == 'Gemini Web':
            if 50 <= round_num['current'] <= 100:
                quality = 0.15  # Rate limited
                return quality, random.random() > 0.5  # 50% fail
        noise = random.gauss(0, 0.05)
        quality = max(0.1, min(1.0, eta + noise))
        return quality, True
    return fn
 
# Run with round tracking
class RoundTracker:
    def __init__(self): self.current = 0
    def tick(self): self.current += 1
 
router2 = ACORouter(PROVIDERS)
rt = RoundTracker()
ability_fn = rate_limit_ability(rt)
 
for _ in range(200):
    chosen, quality = router2.dispatch_and_learn('research', lambda aid: ability_fn(aid))
    rt.tick()
 
convergence_ascii_chart(router2, 'research')
 
# Check: Gemini harus punya τ lebih rendah dari DuckDuckGo/DeepSeek
gemini_tau = router2._tau('research', 'Gemini Web')
duck_tau = router2._tau('research', 'DuckDuckGo')
deepseek_tau = router2._tau('research', 'DeepSeek Web')
print(f"\nGemini τ={gemini_tau:.3f}, DuckDuckGo τ={duck_tau:.3f}, DeepSeek τ={deepseek_tau:.3f}")

Expected output:

Pheromone akhir — research
  DuckDuckGo            █████████████████████████████████████████ τ=1.823
  DeepSeek Web          ██████████████████████████████████       τ=1.512
  Gemini Web            ██████████████                           τ=0.621
  Yuanbao               ███████                                  τ=0.314
  OpenCode Free         ████                                     τ=0.198

Gemini kehilangan dominasi karena 50 round rate limit → τ-nya turun drastis. DuckDuckGo (η research=0.85) dan DeepSeek (η=0.75) mengambil alih. Trafik auto-shift tanpa intervensi manual.

Self-Check

assert gemini_tau < duck_tau, \
    "Gemini harus punya τ lebih rendah dari DuckDuckGo setelah rate limit"
assert deepseek_tau > TAU0, \
    "DeepSeek harus naik pheromone-nya"
print("✅ Rate limit recovery berfungsi!")

8. Skenario 3 — New Provider Joins

Provider baru (Claude Free) masuk di round 100 dengan η unknown (default).

def new_provider_scenario():
    # Start with 4 providers
    providers4 = [p for p in PROVIDERS if p['id'] != 'DuckDuckGo']
    router3 = ACORouter(providers4)
 
    # Phase 1: 100 rounds tanpa Claude
    for _ in range(100):
        router3.dispatch_and_learn('chat', lambda aid: normal_ability(aid))
 
    tau_sebelum = {a['id']: router3._tau('chat', a['id']) for a in providers4}
 
    # Phase 2: Claude Free joins di round 100
    claude = {'id': 'Claude Free', 'eta_for': {'chat': 0.50}}
    router3.agents.append(claude)
 
    for _ in range(100):
        def ability_all(aid):
            if aid == 'Claude Free':
                # Claude actually good at chat (η=0.50 underestimates)
                return 0.85, True
            return normal_ability(aid)
        router3.dispatch_and_learn('chat', ability_all)
 
    tau_sesudah = {a['id']: router3._tau('chat', a['id']) for a in router3.agents}
 
    print("τ sebelum Claude join:")
    for aid, v in sorted(tau_sebelum.items(), key=lambda x: -x[1]):
        print(f"  {aid:<20} τ={v:.3f}")
 
    print("\nτ 100 round setelah Claude join:")
    for aid, v in sorted(tau_sesudah.items(), key=lambda x: -x[1]):
        print(f"  {aid:<20} τ={v:.3f}")
 
    # Claude harus naik dari τ0
    assert tau_sesudah['Claude Free'] > TAU0, \
        "Claude harus belajar dan naik pheromone-nya"
    print(f"\n✅ Claude Free: τ0={TAU0} → τ={tau_sesudah['Claude Free']:.3f} dalam 100 round")
 
    return router3, tau_sebelum, tau_sesudah
 
router3, _, tau_after = new_provider_scenario()

Expected output:

τ sebelum Claude join:
  Gemini Web            τ=1.623
  DeepSeek Web          τ=0.852
  Yuanbao               τ=0.614
  OpenCode Free         τ=0.251

τ 100 round setelah Claude join:
  Gemini Web            τ=1.821
  Claude Free           τ=0.993
  DeepSeek Web          τ=0.783
  Yuanbao               τ=0.521
  OpenCode Free         τ=0.208

✅ Claude Free: τ0=0.10 → τ=0.993 dalam 100 round

Claude mulai dari τ0=0.10 (tanpa history), tapi dalam 100 round berhasil naik ke τ≈0.99 karena kualitas chat-nya bagus. Tidak perlu set η manual — ACO belajar sendiri.

10. Cheatsheet — Parameter Tuning

Parameter	Fungsi	Rendah (<0.5)	Tinggi (>2)	Recommended
α (alpha)	Bobot pheromone history	Exploration tinggi, lambat converge	Cepat converge, overfit history	1.0
β (beta)	Bobot semantic match (η)	Abaikan capability — berbahaya	Over-rely on static η, ignore history	2.0
ρ (rho)	Evaporation rate	Lambat lupa — bias ke lama	Cepat lupa — hampir = random	0.1–0.3
Q (deposit)	Seberapa besar τ naik per success	Lambat belajar	Satu success langsung dominasi	0.5
ε (epsilon)	Exploration rate	Cepat terjebak lockout	Banyak random dispatch	0.05
τ_min	MMAS floor	Eksplorasi mati total	Semua agent dapet chance	0.05
τ_max	MMAS ceiling	Dominasi gampang digeser	Satu agent bisa nge-monopoli	5.0

Quick Reference — Kapan Pake Nilai Apa

Provider baru sering muncul → α=0.8, ε=0.10, ρ=0.3   (cepat belajar, cepat lupa)
Provider stabil       → α=1.5, ε=0.02, ρ=0.1          (percaya history, lambat berubah)
Banyak task type      → α=1.0, β=2.0, Q=0.5           (default — balanced)
Rate limit sering     → ρ=0.4, τ_min=0.10              (cepat pindah, floor lebih tinggi)
