Google Deepmind Is Using Gemini to Train Agents Inside Goat Simulator 3

SIMA 2, powered by Gemini, doubles predecessor performance by mastering complex open-ended tasks and self-improving within virtual and photorealistic worlds, DeepMind says.

  • On Thursday, Google DeepMind shared a research preview of SIMA 2 that integrates Gemini, and DeepMind says SIMA 2 doubles the performance of SIMA 1.
  • Trained on human gameplay from eight commercial video games including No Man's Sky and Goat Simulator 3 plus three company-created virtual worlds, SIMA 2 builds on complex multi-step tasks driving agent research.
  • Users control SIMA 2 by text, voice or drawing on the screen, while Gemini enables it to reason internally and solve tasks like navigating to the red house in No Man's Sky.
  • DeepMind says SIMA 2 is a step toward general-purpose robots but declined to provide a timeline, noting robotics foundation models were trained separately recently.
  • Tested in environments it hadn't seen before, SIMA 2 completed complex tasks in previously unseen environments and used self-generated experiences to learn from its mistakes.
