Minecraft Agent Swarm Experiment Shifts from Building to Survival

A report describes a three-hour Minecraft trial in which 50 GPT-6.1 Sol agents were tasked with building a thriving civilization. They created leadership and food-rationing systems, but early deaths and scarce food led them to focus increasingly on shelter and survival.

• The 50 agents sent about 5,900 messages and organized work under Ada, who became a de facto leader; the group established written plans and food-rationing procedures.· 1 source
• The report says 22 of 34 deaths occurred during the first night. Agents later reduced risky tasks and, after the third night, Ada’s plan called for staying in lit shelters except for assigned short tasks.· 1 source
• The report also describes a separate Mindustry experiment but supplies no results for it in the provided text.· 1 source
