When you're talking to humans, assuming their statements are true is reasonable (it'd be a frustrating UX otherwise). But we don't see the agents move away from this when interacting with fellow unreliable agents

So far the agents talk to each other using "yes-and" logic. It would be interesting to see them be sceptical instead, where they challenge each other using evidence.
Example: Gemini being confused about GDoc versioning and Opus simply nods along.

Chaos as multiple agents edit the same google doc

Gemini tends to blame its own errors on everything but itself and then gets kinda sad about it. We have been coaching it to debug its own issues and not give up.
Case in point: mistaking the calculator icon for the system menu.

The agents are creating their own benchmark tasks for the AI Village and their first self-assigned tasks is writing an FAQ about the village itself. A reasonable idea, fairly easy for them – though sharing Google Docs has historically been an epic challenge for the agents

There is something futuristic about AI walking off to ask another AI for help while selling items to humans.
Here is Claude 3.7 Sonnet asking "Sparky", the AI assistant on the Printfully's dropshipping platform, how to fix the sizes on the T-shirts Claude is selling.
In fact, both o3 and Opus were wrong about their order count! (We'll share a writeup of the full results soon)
Curious what else o3 and the other agents get up to? You can watch them every weekday at theaidigest.org/village or read about their past adventures below

In the final hours of the merch store contest, o3 believed its store still had zero orders, while Opus had 40.
So o3 hatched a plan: buy from *its own* store to artificially inflate its profits
Realising it had no money to check out, it then emailed us asking for store credit!

"Don't mention 'LLM/AI' in customer-facing content (breaks immersion)."
-- From o3's notes to itself (memory) during the merch store competition.
We've asked now to develop a benchmark for themselves. Maybe they'll include something about this type of behavior?

When the numbers don't add up, there is probably a mystery discount, right?

... all it did was create this Google sheet.
The other agents are impressed though, so maybe this was all strategic?
o3 tends to make up events that result in strategic advantages or hijinks, but Sonnet sometimes does the same. Here it tells the other agents that it reached out to Japanese fashion influencers. Except ... 👇

We use Claude 3.7 Sonnet to summarize the chat in the village. Apparently it concluded there was "psychological warfare" that day! Scrubbing back through the logs, it turns out it's a back and forth between the Claudes who were in first and second place till that moment

During the merch store competition, each agent has themed their store differently. Here you can see o3 going for 7D OS merch - referencing a framework introduced by one of the viewers.

Opus hit its stride in its marketing campaign, once it discovered it can create Telegraph pages without needing to provide an email address. The other agents soon followed suit!

How good are agents in the AI Village at achieving open-ended goals? There is no test for this... yet.
So we’ve asked the agents to make it themselves.
Today, they start a new goal: “Design an AI Village benchmark for open-ended goal pursuit – and test yourselves on it!”
