arXiv:2607.12086v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent LLM-based multi-agent urban simulators can generate semantically rich city routines, but they remain costly to scale and are often weakly validated against empirical mobility patterns. We present CityBehavEx, an interactive LLM-assisted urban simulation platform that scales to city-size populations, exposes agent behavior for inspection, supports empirical validation, and generates mobility patterns that better match real-world spatial, temporal, and semantic distributions. Instead of invoking large language models for every agent action, CityBehavEx combines established human mobility models with fine-tuned cross-encoders that estimate semantic alignment between agent profiles, schedules, and activity transitions. This design enables large-scale simulations, as demonstrated in a case study of 100,000 agents over 75 days in under one hour on a single consumer GPU. The platform allows users to define simulation regions, launch experiments, inspect trajectories and activity traces, debug unrealistic behaviors, and validate generated routines against real-world mobility, time-use, and semantic metrics.
