Modeling Earth-Scale Human-Like Societies with One Billion Agents

Understand

Understanding the dynamic evolution of complex social phenomena requires both high-fidelity modeling of human behavior and large-scale simulations.

• Traditional agent-based models (ABMs) have been employed to study these dynamics, but are constrained by simplified agent behaviors.
• Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) enable agents to exhibit sophisticated social behaviors, yet face significant scaling challenges.
• We present Light Society, an agent-based simulation framework that advances both fronts.
