创业邦 · wechat · 2026-09-01
Joon Sung Park, founder of Simile, discusses the evolution from the Stanford 'Smallville' experiment to a commercial platform. Simile focuses on 'behavioral foundation models' rather than rational reasoning, using qualitative, observational, and causal data to build high-fidelity digital twins of humans. These models achieve over 85% accuracy in predicting real-world behavior. With $300M in funding and a $2B valuation, Simile aims to eventually simulate societal interactions for 8 billion people.
