On the Behavioral Traits of LLM Agents

Haokai Zhao, Jie Gao, Yunze Xiao +5

Users increasingly describe different AI agents as distinct colleagues to work with. AI personality research aims to quantify such impressions by attributing human- like "traits" t…

Agentopia: Long-Term Life Simulation and Learning in Agent Societies

Xintao Wang, Sirui Zheng, Hongqiu Wu +10

Humans learn from social life. Simulating this process with LLM-powered agents represents a promising research direction, raising a natural question: whether LLMs can learn from su…

You Only Align Once: Propagating Cooperative Behaviors in Multi-Agent Systems through Seed Agents

Nicole Hsing, Nicole Summer Hsing, Asuka Yuxi Zheng +4

Ensuring aligned agent behaviors in distributed open multi-agent systems remains challenging, especially as populations grow and unaligned agents may exist. We show that a single a…

Artificial Intolerance: Stigmatizing Language in Clinical Documentation Skews Large Language Model Decision-Making

Jen-tse Huang, Didi Zhou, Faith Kamau +5

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in high-stakes domains such as clinical decision support and medical documentation. However, the robustness of these models a…

SWE-Chain: Benchmarking Coding Agents on Chained Release-Level Package Upgrades

Man Ho Lam, Chaozheng Wang, Hange Liu +5

Coding agents powered by large language models are increasingly expected to perform realistic software maintenance tasks beyond isolated issue resolution. Existing benchmarks have…

How to Interpret Agent Behavior

Jie Gao, Kaiser Sun, Jen-tse Huang +8

Autonomous agents such as Claude Code and Codex now operate for hours or even days. Understanding their runtime behavior has become critical for downstream tasks such as diagnosing…

The Chameleon's Limit: Investigating Persona Collapse and Homogenization in Large Language Models

Yunze Xiao, Vivienne J. Zhang, Chenghao Yang +3

Large language models (LLMs) have powered multi-agent simulations such as survey respondents or application users. However, LLMs lack the population-level diversity required by the…

Knowing But Not Doing: Convergent Morality and Divergent Action in LLMs

Jen-tse Huang, Jiantong Qin, Xueli Qiu +3

Value alignment is central to the development of safe and socially compatible artificial intelligence. However, how Large Language Models (LLMs) represent and enact human values in…

The PIMMUR Principles: Ensuring Validity in Collective Behavior of LLM Societies

Jiaxu Zhou, Jen-tse Huang, Xuhui Zhou +5

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to simulate human collective behavior, yet claims that such simulations are human-like remain largely untested. We conducted a sy…

SOTOPIA-S4: a user-friendly system for flexible, customizable, and large-scale social simulation

Xuhui Zhou, Zhe Su, Sophie Feng +9

Social simulation through large language model (LLM) agents is a promising approach to explore and validate hypotheses related to social science questions and LLM agents behavior.…
