    Introducing Simile. Simulating human behavior is one of the most consequential and technically difficult problems of our time. We raised $100M from Index, Hanabi, A* BCV, @karpathy @drfeifei @adamdangelo @rauchg @scottbelsky among others.

    Simulating human behavior with AI agents promises a testbed for policy and the social sciences. We interviewed 1,000 people for two hours each to create generative agents of them. These agents replicate their source individualsโ€™ attitudes and behaviors. ๐Ÿงตarxiv.org/abs/2411.10109

    How might we craft an artificial society that reflects human behavior? My paper, which introduced โ€œgenerative agents,โ€ will be presented at #UIST2023 and now has an open-source repo! w/ @joseph_c_obrien @carriejcai @merrierm @percyliang @msbernst arxiv.org/abs/2304.03442 ๐Ÿงต

    My TED Talk from October 2023 is live! ted.com/talks/joon_sunโ€ฆ I talked about generative agents, and what their power to simulate ourselves and our societies will mean for us in the future. Here is the message I ended with: ๐Ÿงต

    How might an online community look after many people join? My paper w/ @lindsaypopowski @Carryveggies @merrierm @percyliang @msbernst introduces "social simulacra": a method of generating compelling social behaviors to prototype social designs ๐Ÿงต arxiv.org/abs/2208.04024 #uist2022

    We were also really excited to offer this course on AI Agents and Simulation as part of our CS curriculum at Stanford for the first time this quarter! Thank you @johnjhorton for your kind words and inspiring work! And a shoutout to my amazing TAs, @cqzou and @HelenasResearch!

    For those interested in generative agents (aka the Stanford Smallville experiment), I will be speaking at #TEDAI2023 this October about simulating human behavior using LLMs and other foundation models, and what this will enable us to do.

    Our new research estimates that *one in twenty* comments on Reddit are violations of its norms: anti-social behaviors that most subreddits try to moderate. But almost none are moderated. ๐Ÿงต on my upcoming #cscw2022 paper w/ @josephseering and @msbernst: arxiv.org/abs/2208.13094

    I will be presenting generative agents during the "Beyond Words" session (the first session starting at 11am) today at #UIST2023. Hope many of you will be able to join our session! Meanwhile, here is our demo simulation of 25 agents in Smallville: reverie.herokuapp.com/arXiv_Demo/
