What is OASIS?
🏝️ OASIS is a scalable, open-source social media simulator that integrates large language models with rule-based agents to realistically mimic the behavior of up to one million users on platforms like Twitter and Reddit. It’s designed to facilitate the study of complex social phenomena such as information spread, group polarization, and herd behavior, offering a versatile tool for exploring diverse social dynamics and user interactions in digital environments.
Key Features
Scalability
Supports simulations of up to one million agents, enabling studies of social media dynamics at a scale comparable to real-world platforms
Dynamic Environments
Adapts to real-time changes in social networks and content, mirroring the fluid dynamics of platforms like Twitter and Reddit for authentic simulation experiences
Diverse Action Spaces
Agents can perform 23 different actions, such as following, commenting, reposting, and quoting for rich, multi-faceted interactions
Recommendation Systems
Features interest-based and hot-score-based recommendation algorithms, simulating how users discover content on real social media platforms
Use Cases
Research Simulations
Study complex social phenomena like information spread, group polarization, and collective behavior at scale
