Stanford Research Shows Swarms of LLM Agents Follow Statistical Physics Laws

Stanford's James Zou and Surya Ganguli teams published 'Physics of Agents,' showing that communities of over 10,000 LLM agents exhibit collective opinion dynamics that follow compact statistical physics laws, such as flowing toward low social-pressure states.
