Meta paper: agents live unaware in simulated "digital lives" with 10-14 AI contacts to make training data

A Reddit post recaps section 6.2 of Meta's Muse-Glimmer-30B on-device agentic model paper with a Truman Show framing: to train tool-using agents, Meta generates synthetic SFT data via an always-on agent harness in Docker containers.
The paper's "universe" design gives each simulated agent a pre-populated digital life — a persona backed by 10-14 contacts, weeks of correspondence, calendar events, documents and messaging history — while the agent stays agnostic to the simulated nature of its interactions; the "humans" are largely other AIs. Tools mirror real apps' argument structures and JSON formats, with access to the real web. The punchline about Meta "deleting" agents that figure it out is a joke; the substance is a detailed synthetic-data pipeline.
