1000+ AI agents在模拟世界中自发形成文明，展现分工与文化传承能力。
Project Sid: Many-agent simulations toward AI civilization
- 用PIANO架构实现千级AI agent实时协作与多流输出一致
- 在Minecraft中自主发展出分工、规则演变与宗教传播等文明特征
- 为构建大规模智能体社会提供可扩展的实验框架，适合研究群体智能
AI代理以往仅在孤立或小规模群体中评估，交互范围与复杂性有限。大规模包含众多自主代理的模拟——反映文明全过程——尚未被探索。本文展示10至1000+个AI代理在代理社会中的行为与演进。首先提出PIANO（基于神经编排的并行信息聚合）架构，使代理能实时与人类及其他代理互动，并保持多输出流的一致性。随后在受人类历史启发的文明基准下评估代理表现。这些在Minecraft环境中的模拟显示，代理能够实现有意义进展：自主发展专业化角色、遵守并改变集体规则，以及进行文化和宗教传播。初步结果表明，代理已朝向人工智能文明迈出重要一步，为大规模模拟、智能体组织智能及人工智能融入人类文明开辟新路径。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
AI agents have been evaluated in isolation or within small groups, where interactions remain limited in scope and complexity. Large-scale simulations involving many autonomous agents -- reflecting the full spectrum of civilizational processes -- have yet to be explored. Here, we demonstrate how 10 - 1000+ AI agents behave and progress within agent societies. We first introduce the PIANO (Parallel Information Aggregation via Neural Orchestration) architecture, which enables agents to interact with humans and other agents in real-time while maintaining coherence across multiple output streams. We then evaluate agent performance in agent simulations using civilizational benchmarks inspired by human history. These simulations, set within a Minecraft environment, reveal that agents are capable of meaningful progress -- autonomously developing specialized roles, adhering to and changing collective rules, and engaging in cultural and religious transmission. These preliminary results show that agents can achieve significant milestones towards AI civilizations, opening new avenues for large simulations, agentic organizational intelligence, and integrating AI into human civilizations.
