This paper introduces OpenLife, a proof-of-concept system that uses autonomous LLM agents with persistent memory and budget-based metabolism to realize open-world artificial life. Experiments over twelve weeks show emergent life-like dynamics including spontaneous activity, individuation, and social structure.
An agent from an Artificial Life simulation is adapted into a real autonomous agent that runs on a laptop with file system, code execution, browser control, and task management, exhibiting persistent internal drive.
