Project Sid aims to explore large-scale simulations with 10-1000+ AI agents, reflecting various civilizational processes. The PIANO architecture allows agents to interact with humans and other agents in real-time while maintaining coherence across multiple output streams. Through simulations in a Minecraft environment, agents show progress in developing specialized roles, changing collective rules, and engaging in cultural and religious transmission. These results suggest potential for significant milestones in AI civilizations, paving the way for societal simulations, organizational intelligence, and integration of AI into human civilizations. The technical report “Project Sid: Many-agent simulations toward AI civilization” is available on arXiv, with the full paper coming soon.
