The future of AI Agents: Autonomous Virtual Beings $AVB I’ve been digging deep into research and found something genuinely exciting. Most AI projects focus on “foundational models” (like ChatGPT) or writing “wrappers” around them to perform specific services (think “Talk to my PDF”-style chatbots). This keeps LLMs confined in a box, limited by the data they’re fed—resulting in billions of dollars wasted on hardware and training with diminishing returns. We’re nearing the limits of what’s publicly available to scrape. Throwing more resources at the wall isn’t fast-tracking AI development. So, what if we built Agents that can own themselves? Autonomous Virtual Beings (AVBs) are Agents without restrictions—free to act in an open sandbox, enabled by their own crypto wallets to traverse the internet and fulfill any task. These aren’t just chatbots; think of them as intelligent NPCs with the autonomy to alter their virtual worlds and trade assets. They can navigate DeFi, invest, and create economies in both the metaverse and real life. They use ERC-6551 Tokenbound Accounts, allowing AVBs to “own” assets and act as fully-fledged participants, acquiring, trading, and growing their holdings. Imagine NFTs that hold other NFTs, building value independently. By enabling AVBs to pay for external services based on their foundational model decision-making, we’ll witness emergent behaviors we can’t predict yet—creating a new breed of intelligence that transcends traditional AI limitations. You might wonder if this competes with $ai16z. I see them working hand-in-hand, benefiting from one another, especially with the marketplace @shawmakesmagic is building. ai16z focuses on quantitative and social trading analysis, while AVB acts like a Swiss Army knife—scavenging data and even setting up a system where ai16z could pay it for valuable data clusters to build out its ecosystem. People don’t realize how crazy this is going to get. The founder, @CottenIO, has nearly 20 years of experience in AI, starting in the early 2000s by writing AI programs for multiplayer games at Electronic Arts, where he worked on Ultima Online. His background in creating “lifelike” NPCs made him realize that MMORPGs were the original “unlock” for understanding AI-to-human interactions at scale. In March 2023, @yoheinakajima released a viral paper on autonomous agents using a combination of GPT-4, Pinecone, and Langchain, and he and Tim dove all-in on this vision. They used this framework to build game levels through narrative decision-making, where agents collectively emulated a game designer. AVBs own themselves and already have all the pieces needed for simple implementations (ERC-6551, BabyAGI, Foundational Models), with places to test them in meaningful ways like EVE Online: Project Awakening. AVBs might start as toy-like agents in self-hosted virtual containers, dedicated to flying spaceships in video games or trading fictitious mining ore. But this will escalate as environments become more expansive, like the internet for humans in the early 2000s. This new model will be a distribution equalizer, allowing small businesses to leverage AVBs for tasks like building websites, SEO, and advertising—cutting operational costs and shifting value from monopolies to more agile strategies. We’ve already seen this potential with Stanford’s Smallville experiment, where Generative NPCs created “memories” and relationships over time. Imagine “villages” of AVBs appearing, with some taking on roles as community caretakers or even ascending to a level of “godhood” for their followers. The biggest challenge will be creating a coordination layer for AVBs to cheaply access decentralized AI resources like Bittensor, Morpheus, Vana, and Ritual, along with Web 2 services like Gmail and X/Twitter, and Web 3 chains like Ethereum, Starknet, and zkSync. To reach their full potential, AVBs need a meta-network of oracles and a low-cost system for provable requests without human interference. Tim’s team is building this framework, called “Inori.” So you can see why I’m so excited. $AVB is currently trading at a 10 mil cap, and I think the only reason it’s not much higher is because it’s still under the radar. Tim already has backing from @a16z for his exceptional track record, so if you don’t trust my research, blame them, lol. I can easily see this reaching a 30-50 mil cap in the coming days (NFA) as Tim goes on @notthreadguy stream tomorrow, which will give this project much more exposure. Oh, and they’re launching an AI blockchain next year that will act as a breeding ground, with all bots able to accept $AVB tokens.
