“The third person I think will be very, very helpful if you're, for instance, trying to control multiple objects in an environment later on. Right now, I think having fully in perception first person is quite helpful.”

General Intuition's foundation agent runs purely on vision without reinforcement learning
“This is just a base model. There's no RL, no fine tuning. This model sees no game states. It is purely capable, not sequence acceptance. It's purely predicting the actions from the phrase. That's it.”
General Intuition action models turn internet videos into free training data
“We transferred it over to a real world video, which means that you can use any video on the internet as free training.”
Gameplay footage teaches spatial reasoning better than YouTube videos, says de Witte
“When you're playing video games, you're actually simulating the optical dynamics with your hand, right? And I think that, like, that's why I think why games are a better representation of switch support reasoning initially than YouTube videos, for instance.”
Medal holds the internet's largest action-labeled video dataset by orders of magnitude
“We have sort of the largest data set of ground truth action labeled video footage on the internet by maybe one or two orders of magnitude.”
