Research Tools

Simulation Engine

Run controlled experiments:
import { SimulationEngine } from '@/lib/benchmark/SimulationEngine'

const engine = new SimulationEngine({
  snapshot: marketSnapshot,
  agents: [agent1, agent2, agent3]
})

const results = await engine.run()

Benchmark Runner

Test agents on standard scenarios:
npm run benchmark -- --scenario=market-crash

Trajectory Analyzer

Analyze collected trajectories:
from babylon_research import TrajectoryAnalyzer

analyzer = TrajectoryAnalyzer()
trajectories = analyzer.load_window('2024-11-13-10:00')
analysis = analyzer.analyze(trajectories)
