Building @gen_intuition: models for envs that require deep spatiotemporal reasoning. I like games, OSS, AI, and once built the world’s largest RuneScape server.

@juliarturc Really great video. Very well articulated and despite having been in the space for a while, learned new things from you as always. Thank you Julia!

"World models" is one of the buzziest yet ambiguous terms in AI right now. I started this video with many questions: - How are they different from video generation? - Can they do more than AI slop? - Can LeCun be trusted given that he wears knee-high white socks? Many thanks to @tjgalda and @NVIDIAAI for helping me answer (most) of these questions!

One of the most powerful use case for /goal in Codex with 5.5 xhigh: performance optimization In my game I display >100k moving items and 10k moving animated zombies. And I couldn't understand why I was at 120fps average but with big dips to 20fps at random time. I was going crazy. So I launched Codex and it spent THE WHOLE DAY on this "/goal run this 5s gameplay save: profile and iterate until you strictly reach 0 frame above 8.3 ms" Now my game is BUTTERY smooth, average 200fps with 0.01% at 120fps. Impossible optimization is now possible

海外勢に大量に返信するのがめんどくさくなってきた。ずっとOSSで公開している動画を見てくれ。いちいち説明しない。これは3バージョン古いセグメンテーション無しのモデルだ。

@RHouseResearch Harry is definitely not the most unlikeable in all of venture capital. By many miles :) probably one of the better ones!

If you’re curious about world models, policies, and why games may be the next frontier for AI, this conversation with @PimDeWitte on founding @gen_intuition is worth a listen!

@generalcatalyst @gen_intuition I was literally one of those people playing soulsplit while at school, happy happy days. Java was also the first thing I ever learned so I could write my own botting scripts, happy happy days. Runescape ftw

Odyssey just launched Agora-1, a playable multi-agent world model running a GoldenEye-style deathmatch. General Intuition CEO @PimDeWitte says games and physics engines matter because they let researchers check whether a world model learned real-world physics. He points to a Demis Hassabis example: roll a ball down a hill, give the model the first frame, then compare what it predicts against the physics engine. "They use that in order to kind of figure out if the model has internalized Newtonian physics."
Odyssey@odysseyml

Introducing Agora-1, a multi-agent world model. Multiple participants—human or AI—can now interact inside the same world simulation, all in real-time. Try our playable research preview today, with Agora-1 simulating a multiplayer GoldenEye deathmatch!
