## Description

RD-Agent is an autonomous framework designed to orchestrate multi-step software engineering and data science workflows. By leveraging large language models, the system decomposes complex technical requirements into actionable research, planning, and execution phases, ultimately generating and running code to solve specific development tasks.

The platform distinguishes itself through a containerized execution sandbox that ensures secure dependency management and system stability for all autonomously generated code. It employs multi-agent orchestration to manage iterative feedback loops, allowing the system to refine its outputs by continuously evaluating performance metrics against defined benchmarks and experimental goals.

The framework provides comprehensive capabilities for automated data science research, including feature engineering, model tuning, and the preparation of custom datasets. It also features specialized support for quantitative research, enabling the automated development and optimization of financial factor models through structured backtesting and iterative testing cycles.

Users can manage and monitor these autonomous operations through a web-based interface that provides real-time visibility into task progress, logs, and research milestones. The system supports flexible configuration of research scenarios and model backends, allowing for the integration of diverse language model services to power its reasoning and decision-making processes.
