Stop agent ?

[gpiroux]

Hello,

Once an agent is created after a message is sent to it, is there any way to stop it and release its resources?
In pykka, we can do

actor_ref.stop()

We have not yet implemented explicit stopping/destruction of agent instances

Thanks for your prompt reply.
Is it planned to implement that ?

Cheers

I though there was an issue for it somewhere but i couldnt find it so i made a new one: #5374

This would be really useful to take the full advantage of the actor model behind AutoGen.

For example in the debate demo we made with our akgentic framework based on the actor model, the user can ask dynamically to add supporters of one of the debaters to support him. But also to remove them... We have a pure dynamic chaos of interactions where the debaters are listening to everybody in an async mode to produce their answer :-)
