Core Concepts: Agents, Trainers, and the Lightning Server

Now that you have your environment set up, let’s explore the foundational concepts and key components that make Agentic Lightening so powerful. Understanding these building blocks is crucial for effectively leveraging the framework.

Agentic Lightening operates on a client-server architecture, enabling the decoupling of your agent’s execution logic from the optimization process. The main actors in this system are:

LitAgent (The Agent Client): Your AI agent, often built with another framework, wrapped to interact with the Lightening system.
AgentLightningServer (The Server): A central hub that manages tasks, resources, and orchestrates the training loop.
Trainer (The Optimization Engine): The component that runs the training algorithms, leveraging data from LitAgent instances via the AgentLightningServer.
LightningStore: A central repository (often backed by a database) that holds tasks, resources, and traces, facilitating the feedback loop.

Let’s break down each of these in detail.
