AlphaGo Zero meets House M.D.

Imagine a world where AlphaGo meets House, M.D. β€” a place where AI doctors evolve through realistic medical battles in a virtual hospital , treating thousands of simulated patients until they become diagnostic virtuosos.

Welcome to Agent Hospital - where patients, nurses, and doctors are all AI agents β€” powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) β€” interacting, diagnosing, treating, and most importantly: learning

🩺 Here’s how it works:

β€’ Every agent β€” patient, nurse, doctor β€” is autonomous. β€’ There is a multi-agent collaboration between patients, nurses, and doctors to simulate the full clinical workflow: Triage β†’ Consultation β†’ Diagnosis β†’ Treatment β†’ Follow-Up β€’ And they evolve through experience β€” not labeled data β€” by treating thousands of virtual patients in a closed-loop environment.

🧬 The secret? SEAL β€” Simulacrum-based Evolutionary Agent Learning

β€’ AI doctors learn from real outcomes β€” recovery or relapse, with a memory system that is a combination of case base + experience base. β€’ Patient agents are generated autonomously using LLMs + medical knowledge β€’ No manual annotation. No human-in-the-loop. Just AI learning by doing and reflecting.

It is AlphaGo Zero for medicine; instead of playing millions of Go games against itself, here the AI Agents in the simulacrum are diagnosing diseases.

🎯 And the results? β€’ After treating tens of thousands of virtual patients , these evolved doctor agents outperformed state-of-the-art medical AI models on the MedQA benchmark β€” a set of real-world USMLE-style medical questions. β€’ Their skills transferred to the real world β€” acing real medical exams after only virtual practice. β€’ It’s like training a pilot in a flight simulator β€” and watching them nail their first solo flight.

🌍 But this is bigger than medicine. Agent Hospital is a blueprint for evolving AI agents in any complex domain β€” law, education, finance, and beyond.
