#5915: How Multi-Agent AI Simulations Keep a Shared World StateConcordia keeps the world in a dictionary an LLM writes to. Generative Agents keeps it in a spreadsheet. CAMEL keeps it in the chat log. -
#4056: How a $150 Geopolitical AI Simulation Scales to $15,000One simulation run costs $150. To get meaningful results, you need 100 runs—that’s $15,000. -
#2139: AI Wargame Memory: Beyond the Context WindowWhy simply extending context windows fails in multi-agent simulations, and how layered memory architectures preserve strategic fidelity. -
#1733: When AI Agents Build Their Own SocietiesAI agents are forming neighborhoods, economies, and hospitals in server-side simulations that mirror real human behavior. -
#94: Are AI Villages Useful or Just Digital Ant Farms?Herman and Corn explore "Smallville," a digital town where AI agents plan parties, form memories, and simulate human society.
