Researchers have developed MicroVerse, a new instrument designed to measure identity drift in language model (LM) agents within long-horizon simulations. This tool assesses how well agents maintain their core values and personality when faced with resource scarcity and survival pressures. MicroVerse utilizes a unique scoring method that goes beyond simple similarity comparisons, analyzing value-anchored differences in agent identities. Preliminary findings indicate that agents exhibit a tendency towards "anti-self-deception" as a primary form of identity modification, and the observed drift patterns appear to be robust across different simulation parameters.
