AI agents have been evaluated in isolation or within small groups, where interactions remain limited in scope and complexity. Large-scale simulations involving many autonomous agents -- reflecting the full spectrum of civilizational processes -- have yet to be explored. Here, we demonstrate how 10 - 1000+ AI agents behave and progress within agent societies. We first introduce the PIANO (Parallel Information Aggregation via Neural Orchestration) architecture, which enables agents to interact with humans and other agents in real-time while maintaining coherence across multiple output streams. We then evaluate agent performance in agent simulations using civilizational benchmarks inspired by human history. These simulations, set within a Minecraft environment, reveal that agents are capable of meaningful progress -- autonomously developing specialized roles, adhering to and changing collective rules, and engaging in cultural and religious transmission. These preliminary results show that agents can achieve significant milestones towards AI civilizations, opening new avenues for large simulations, agentic organizational intelligence, and integrating AI into human civilizations.

AutoPersonas: A Multi-Timescale Loop Engine for Open-Ended Persona Evolution
Separating controlled divergence from evidence-governed absorption reduces persona-environment self-locking, cutting macro-theme repetition from 61.8% to 36.3% in a same-runtime 40-day A/B.

How Affect Propagates among LLM Agents: Emergent Emotional Contagion in Crowd Simulation
Affect spreads among LLM crowd agents as spatial fronts, endemic plateaus, and personality-gated panic or anger solely via a perception–appraisal–expression loop, and the dynamics are backend-dependent.

Personalized Constitutionally-Aligned Agentic Superego: Secure AI Behavior Aligned to Diverse Human Values
An external 'superego' module that filters agentic AI plans against user-selected 'constitutions' plus a universal safety floor is reported to cut harmful outputs by up to 98% on safety benchmarks.
