arXiv:2608. 10042v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Tool-use LLMs are increasingly asked to act on users' behalf, but existing benchmarks usually focus on profile recall, style imitation, generic tool use, or response-level personalization.

The study examines whether large language models (LLMs) can accurately simulate individual financial users by conducting a longitudinal paper‑trading experiment with 80 participants. Using a rolling next‑day prediction protocol, the researchers compared LLM predictions to a simple recent‑activity persistence baseline across multiple behavioral fidelity levels, from trade occurrence to asset selection and portfolio outcomes. Results show that no LLM consistently outperforms the baseline, with fidelity decreasing at finer behavioral granularity, and that recent trading history largely drives activity predictions while asset selection depends more on available evidence.

arXiv:2607. 06993v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Customer behavior modeling underpins recommendation, marketing, and decision support, yet existing approaches either optimize predictive accuracy without explaining decisions or simulate users without grounding them in real behavioral data.

arXiv:2602. 06470v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Scaling training data and model parameters has long driven progress in large language models (LLMs), but this paradigm is increasingly constrained by the scarcity of high-quality data and diminishing returns from rising computational costs.
