Creating a Discussion
The simplest task you can accomplish with this library is to create a small discussion between LLMs.
This guide will teach you the basic setup of the library. You will understand how to setup models, user-agents and how to coordinate them in a discussion. By the end of htis guide, you will be able to run a small discussion with a moderator and save it to the disk for persistence.
Basics
The Model
SynDisco can theoretically support any LLM, as long as it is wrapped in a BaseModel wrapper. The BaseModel class is a very simple interface with one method. This method gives the underlying LLM input, and returns its output to the library.
There already exists a TransformersModel class which handles models from the transformers python library. In 90% of your applications, this will be enough. We can load a TransformersModel using the following code:
[2]:
import syndisco
llm = syndisco.TransformersModel(
model_path="unsloth/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct-bnb-4bit",
name="test_model",
max_out_tokens=100,
)
This will download a small LLM from huggingface. You can substitute the model_path for any similar model in HuggingFace supporting the Transformers library.
Creating personas
All actors can be defined by a persona, aka a set of attributes that define them. These attributes can be age, ethnicity, and even include special instructions on how they should behave.
Syndisco uses any python dictionary for defining personas. These dictionaries are given as-is to the underlying prompt, and saved as JSON in the exported discussion logs.
[3]:
personas = [
{
"username": "Gwx31",
"age": 38,
"sex": "female",
"education_level": "Bachelor's",
"sexual_orientation": "Heterosexual",
"demographic_group": "Latino",
"current_employment": "Registered Nurse",
"personality_characteristics": [
"compassionate",
"patient",
"diligent",
"overwhelmed",
],
},
{
"username": "Giannis",
"age": 21,
"sex": "male",
"education_level": "College",
"sexual_orientation": "Pansexual",
"demographic_group": "White",
"current_employment": "Game Developer",
"personality_characteristics": [
"strategic",
"meticulous",
"nerdy",
"hyper-focused",
],
},
{
"username": "Kimya",
"age": 67,
"sex": "female",
"education_level": "PhD",
"sexual_orientation": "Heterosexual",
"demographic_group": "White",
"personality_characteristics": [
"strict",
"grumpy"
],
}
]
Since creating a lot of distinct users is essential in running large-scale experiments, users are usually defined in JSON format. That way, you can change anything without touching your code!
Here is an applied example of how to mass-define user personas through JSON files.
Creating the user-agents
Having a persona and a model we can finally create an actor. The actor will personify the selected persona using the model to talk.
Besides a persona and a model, the actors will also need instructions and a context. By convention, all actors share the same context, and all user-agents share the same instructions. Personalized instructions are defined in the actor’s persona.
[4]:
CONTEXT = "You are taking part in an online conversation"
INSTRUCTIONS = "Act like a human would"
actors = [
syndisco.Actor(
model=llm,
persona=p,
context=CONTEXT,
instructions=INSTRUCTIONS,
name=p["username"]
)
for p in personas
]
Managing turn-taking
In real-life discussions, who gets to speak at each point in time is determined by complex social dynamics, which are difficult to realistically model. However, there are ways with which we can simulate these dynamics.
SynDisco uses the TurnManager class to model turn taking. Three implementations are available by default:
QueueTurnManageris the simplest, most intuitive way to model turn-taking; everyone gets to talk once per round. Once everyone talks once, they get to talk again in the same sequence
[5]:
rrobin_turn_manager = syndisco.QueueTurnManager(actors)
for i in range(10):
speaker = next(rrobin_turn_manager)
print(speaker.get_actor_name())
Gwx31

Kimya
Gwx31

RandomTurnManagerselects a random speaker each time (excluding the last speaker):
[6]:
rrobin_turn_manager = syndisco.RandomTurnManager(actors)
for i in range(10):
speaker = next(rrobin_turn_manager)
print(speaker.get_actor_name())

warnings.warn(
RespondTurnManageron the other hand throws a weighted coin on each round. If the coin flip succedes, the previous user gets to respond. If not, another user is selected at random

Generating a discussion
Let’s start with the most basic task; a single discussion between two users. Let’s also add a few starting comments, supposedly made by the first user, to get the ball rolling.
[8]:
turn_manager = syndisco.QueueTurnManager(actors)
conv = syndisco.Discussion(
next_turn_manager=turn_manager,
users=actors,
seed_opinions=["I hate the concept of chairs."],
seed_opinion_usernames=[personas[0]["username"]]
)
conv.begin()
The following generation flags are not valid and may be ignored: ['temperature', 'top_p', 'top_k']. Set `TRANSFORMERS_VERBOSITY=info` for more details.

Oh, wow, that's quite a statement! I can understand where you're coming from. Sometimes sitting for long periods can be really uncomfortable, especially if you have a job that requires a lot of sitting. As a nurse, I can relate to the physical strain it can put on your body. Maybe finding ways to move around more or using ergonomic chairs could help make things a bit better? What inspired your dislike of chairs specifically?"
Comment by user Giannis: "
As a game developer who spends most of my day in front of a screen, I can definitely relate to the discomfort that comes with prolonged sitting. However, my issue with chairs isn't necessarily about the physical discomfort—it's more about the idea of them as a societal norm and the expectations they impose. Chairs often symbolize a certain level of formality and permanence in our workspaces, which can feel restrictive. Plus, there's something about the fluidity of movement that just feels more natural to"

As Kimya, I might respond with something like this: "Interesting perspectives here! While I can see how sitting for long periods can be physically taxing, I must admit that I share some of Giannis's sentiments about chairs.

Comment by user Giannis: "
Thanks for the insightful comments, everyone! It’s great to hear different perspectives on this topic. As a game developer, I often find myself in a similar mindset—chairs can feel like a symbol of a rigid structure that doesn’t always align with the creative and dynamic nature of our work.

Driving a discussion step by step
Discussion implements Python’s iterator protocol, so you are not limited to running the whole conversation at once with begin(). You can drive it one turn at a time, which is useful when you want to inspect or react to each entry before the next speaker is prompted — for example to apply early stopping, live logging, or conditional branching.
Because Discussion is its own iterator (__iter__ returns self), it is single-pass: once StopIteration is raised the instance is exhausted and should not be reused.
Calling next() manually
Calling iter() on a Discussion performs the one-time setup (registering participant names and inserting any seed opinions). Each subsequent next() prompts one speaker and returns the new log entry as a plain dict.
[9]:
turn_manager = syndisco.QueueTurnManager(actors)
conv = syndisco.Discussion(
next_turn_manager=turn_manager,
users=actors,
conv_len=4,
seed_opinions=["I hate the concept of chairs."],
seed_opinion_usernames=[personas[0]["username"]],
)
it = iter(conv) # one-time setup happens here
first_entry = next(it)
print("First speaker: ", first_entry["name"])
print("Their message: ", first_entry["text"], "...")
second_entry = next(it)
print("\nSecond speaker:", second_entry["name"])
print("Their message: ", second_entry["text"], "...")
First speaker: Gwx31

Using a for loop
The same iterator works directly in a for loop. Here we stop early if a particular word appears in an entry - something that is impossible with begin().
[10]:
turn_manager = syndisco.QueueTurnManager(actors)
conv = syndisco.Discussion(
next_turn_manager=turn_manager,
users=actors,
conv_len=10,
seed_opinions=["I hate the concept of chairs."],
seed_opinion_usernames=[personas[0]["username"]],
)
for entry in conv:
print(entry["text"])
print(f"\nTurns completed so far: {conv._steps_taken}")

Turns completed so far: 10
Congratulations, you can now run fully synthetic discussions! You may want to experiment with adding more than 2 users or testing more realistic turn taking procedures (for example, check out the RandomWeighted turn manager).
Working with Logs
All log state is held in Discussion.logs, an instance of Logs. This object supports the standard sequence interface, so you can index, slice, and iterate over it directly - no need to call to_dict() just to inspect entries.
[11]:
logs = conv.get_logs()
print(f"Total entries : {len(logs)}")
print(f"First entry : {logs[0]}")
print(f"Last entry : {logs[-1]}")
print()
# Iterate directly — each item is a dict with 'name', 'text', 'model'
for entry in logs:
print(f"[{entry['name']}] {entry['text'][:60]}...")
Total entries : 11
First entry : {'name': 'Gwx31', 'text': 'I hate the concept of chairs.', 'model': 'hardcoded', 'prompt': '{"context": "", "instructions": "", "type": "user", "persona": {}}'}

As a registered nurse, I can definitely see how the idea of chairs can be seen as restrictive and formal, especially when you're used to moving around a lot.

Creating hard-coded logs
The Logs class also enables you to hardcode the data inside. This would be useful for example if you want to use syndisco’s annotation on data that were not generated by the Discussion API (see next guide).

names=["Alice", "Bob", "Alice"]
texts=[
"What do you think about the new policy?",
"Honestly, I think it goes too far.",
"I can see that perspective, though I'm not sure I agree.",
]
handcrafted = syndisco.Logs()
for name, text in zip(names, texts):
handcrafted.append(name, text)
print(handcrafted)
