The article discusses the rise of large language models (LLMs) and their growing influence on our decisions and actions. It explores the concept of agentic LLMs—LLMs that can act directly in the real world and interact with one another. The book aims to explain how these agentic LLMs function, their capabilities, and the implications for users.
The article introduces the concept of Agentic Large Language Models, which extend traditional LLMs by enabling them to act directly in the real world and interact with one another. It outlines how these agentic LLMs function, their mechanisms for action, and the implications of their capabilities for users. The discussion highlights the growing influence of LLMs on decision-making and explores the potential shifts in how we engage with AI tools.
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.
The chapter discusses how large language models (LLMs) simplify the transformation of cultural material into analyzable variables and how LLM-driven agentic systems broaden machine assistance across research workflows. It examines key aspects of this emerging paradigm and its broader implications, arguing that LLMs increase scale, methodological diversity, and delegation while largely preserving the fundamental logic that underpins cultural measurement and claim formation.

arXiv:2509. 17192v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: LLM-based social simulations can make a generated transcript look like a single behavioral signal, but the model behind that transcript may be doing several different jobs: choosing what an actor says or does, deciding what happens after an action, or both.
