arXiv:2606. 01199v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language agents are increasingly used for social simulation, yet it remains unclear whether they can sustain coherent behavior in structured organizations, where goals must propagate through hierarchy, tasks depend on prior execution, and artifacts accumulate over long horizons.

arXiv:2608. 00007v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Equipping Large Language Models (LLMs) with human-like personas is crucial for agentic applications, such as role-play and user simulation.

arXiv:2510. 19299v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Can large language model (LLM) agents reproduce the complex social dynamics that characterize human online behavior -- shaped by homophily, reciprocity, and social validation -- and what memory and learning mechanisms enable such dynamics to emerge?

AutoResearch is a two‑stage autonomous research system that links Idea Generation with Idea Execution. In the generation phase it blends new research signals with existing domain knowledge, identifies transferable mechanistic insights, and produces grounded, testable research plans through multi‑model generation and cross‑review. The execution phase then decomposes these plans into experiments, iteratively implements and diagnoses them, and uses independent evidence‑based review to accept or revise conclusions, thereby turning ideas into measurable progress while minimizing hallucinations.

arXiv:2607. 14485v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM)-based generative agents simulate human behavior through long-horizon decision-making processes that comprise intermediate steps such as planning, memory retrieval, reflection, and action selection.

arXiv:2608. 11215v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Simulating societies of many large language model (LLM) agents is expensive, yet the questions asked of such simulations are usually macroscopic: phase behaviour, stylised facts, and scaling with the number of agents $N$, not the cognition of any single agent.
