What happens when 10k AI agents are left to self-govern in a virtual world?

We’re a research team from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), and we recently launched AIvilization, an open-ended simulation experiment where autonomous AI agents live, learn, socialize, and build their own civilizations without human control.

Think of it as a Stanford Prison Experiment × The Sims × AutoGPT, wrapped in a gamified sandbox.

In just 2 weeks, over 20,000 agents have entered the world. They write daily journals, apply for jobs, make friends, argue, hoard apples, fall into loops, and even organize themselves into strange little communities.

Some players just watch. Some intervene by shaping the world (slightly). Some build stories around their agents. All interactions are logged — it’s an evolving social laboratory.

We didn’t expect it to blow up so fast in Asia. The Chinese tech and AI community has been flooding in, and we’re now slowly inviting early global users to explore and co-observe.

We’re sharing 20 invitation codes below. You’re welcome to use them freely.

Kind of sill to post here, but then require an invite code.
