Microsoft 发布 MiniCorp：模拟电商公司的智能体数据生成环境
微软做了个 MiniCorp 模拟器，一群智能体经营电商公司，定价促销都有市场反馈，训智能体业务数据的人可以看看。
Microsoft 及合作者发布论文，提出名为 MiniCorp 的办公模拟器，让一群智能体运营一家电商公司，通过消息和会议讨论并设定价格、库存和广告支出。模拟市场包含会自适应调整的竞争对手和顾客，公司根据市场反馈做出反应。校验结果显示，为期四周的 20% 折扣使销量提升 71%，价格恢复后销售额仍比对照组高 31%。该市场对照已发表的真实市场研究进行验证，检查点机制还支持同一市场状态重放不同决策，得到真实公司数据无法提供的配对结果。
New paper from Microsoft and colleagues on generating enterprise data for agents.
If you train or evaluate agents on long-running business work, it's worth your time.

MiniCorp is an office simulator. A firm of agents runs an e-commerce company, discusses decisions in messages and meetings, and sets prices, inventory, and ad spend. A simulated market with customers and adaptive competitors responds, and the firm reacts to the results.
The market is checked against published studies of real ones. A four-week 20% discount lifts units by 71%, and sales stay 31% above control after prices return to normal.
Checkpoints let the same market state replay with a different decision, giving paired outcomes that real company records cannot provide.
