Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for future prediction, motivating the use of multiple models as a wisdom-of-the-crowd mechanism. However, simply increasing crowd size does not guarantee effective diversity, as different LLMs may exhibit redundant behaviors. We propose a behavior-aware framework for constructing diverse LLM crowds. The framework characterizes models using their reasoning traces on independent development tasks, clusters models by behavioral similarity, and selects representatives for collective prediction. We evaluate 25 LLMs using seven development benchmarks for behavioral diversity modeling and two future-prediction benchmarks for evaluating diverse crowds' performance. Our results show that crowd composition can matter more than crowd size: a three-model medoid crowd based on K-means++ behavioral clustering outperforms conventional voting over all 25 models on both prediction benchmarks, while reducing model calls by 88% and inference cost by approximately 80%. The results further suggest that representative behavioral diversity, rather than simply maximizing diversity, is important for constructing effective LLM crowds
Live future prediction refers to the task of making predictions about real-world events before they unfold. This task is increasingly studied using large language model-based agent systems, and it is important for building agents that can continually learn from real-world. Just as interactive environments have often driven progress in agents, advancing live future prediction naturally motivates viewing it as a learning environment. Prior works have explored future prediction from several different parts, but have generally not framed it as a unified learning environment. This task is appealing for learning because it can provide a large number of prediction questions grounded in diverse real-world events, while preventing answer leakage. To leverage the advantages of live future prediction, we present FutureWorld, a live agentic reinforcement learning environment that closes the training loop between prediction, outcome realization, and parameters update. In our environment, we take three open-source base models and train them for consecutive days. The results show that training is effective. Furthermore, we build a daily benchmark based on the environment and evaluate several frontier agents on it to establish performance baselines for current agent systems.
