Key Points

  • OpenHospital introduces an interactive arena for evolving and benchmarking LLM-based collective intelligence, aiming to overcome the data wall in CI research.
  • It uses a data-in-agent-self paradigm in which physician agents interact with patient agents to rapidly enhance agent capabilities through collaborative dynamics.
  • The platform provides robust evaluation metrics for assessing both medical proficiency and system efficiency in LLM-based CI.
  • Experimental results demonstrate that OpenHospital can foster collective intelligence and quantify its performance in medical-physician contexts.

Abstract

Large Language Model (LLM)-based Collective Intelligence (CI) presents a promising approach to overcoming the data wall and continuously boosting the capabilities of LLM agents. However, there is currently no dedicated arena for evolving and benchmarking LLM-based CI. To address this gap, we introduce OpenHospital, an interactive arena where physician agents can evolve CI through interactions with patient agents. This arena employs a data-in-agent-self paradigm that rapidly enhances agent capabilities and provides robust evaluation metrics for benchmarking both medical proficiency and system efficiency. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of OpenHospital in both fostering and quantifying CI.
