Agentifying Patient Dynamics within LLMs through Interacting with Clinical World Model
Sepsis management in the ICU requires sequential treatment decisions under rapidly evolving patient physiology. Although large language models (LLMs) encode broad clinical knowledge and can reason over guidelines, they are not inherently grounded in action-conditioned patient dynamics. We introduce SepsisAgent, a world model-augmented LLM agent for sepsis treatment recommendation. SepsisAgent uses a learned Clinical World Model to simulate patient responses under candidate fluid--vasopressor interventions, and follows a propose--simulate--refine workflow before committing to a prescription. We first show that world-model access alone yields inconsistent LLM decision performance, motivating agent-specific training. We then train SepsisAgent through a three-stage curriculum: patient-dynamics supervised fine-tuning, propose--simulate--refine behavior cloning, and world-model-based agentic reinforcement learning. On MIMIC-IV sepsis trajectories, SepsisAgent outperforms all traditional RL and LLM-based baselines in off-policy value while achieving the best safety profile under guideline adherence and unsafe-action metrics. Further analysis shows that repeated interaction with the Clinical World Model enables the agent to learn regularities in patient evolution, which remain useful even when simulator access is removed.
MicroVerse: A Preliminary Exploration Toward a Micro-World Simulation
Recent advances in video generation have opened new avenues for macroscopic simulation of complex dynamic systems, but their application to microscopic phenomena remains largely unexplored. Microscale simulation holds great promise for biomedical applications such as drug discovery, organ-on-chip systems, and disease mechanism studies, while also showing potential in education and interactive visualization. In this work, we introduce MicroWorldBench, a multi-level rubric-based benchmark for microscale simulation tasks. MicroWorldBench enables systematic, rubric-based evaluation through 459 unique expert-annotated criteria spanning multiple microscale simulation task (e.g., organ-level processes, cellular dynamics, and subcellular molecular interactions) and evaluation dimensions (e.g., scientific fidelity, visual quality, instruction following). MicroWorldBench reveals that current SOTA video generation models fail in microscale simulation, showing violations of physical laws, temporal inconsistency, and misalignment with expert criteria. To address these limitations, we construct MicroSim-10K, a high-quality, expert-verified simulation dataset. Leveraging this dataset, we train MicroVerse, a video generation model tailored for microscale simulation. MicroVerse can accurately reproduce complex microscale mechanism. Our work first introduce the concept of Micro-World Simulation and present a proof of concept, paving the way for applications in biology, education, and scientific visualization. Our work demonstrates the potential of educational microscale simulations of biological mechanisms. Our data and code are publicly available at https://github.com/FreedomIntelligence/MicroVerse
