    Excited to introduce Dreamer 4, an agent that learns to solve complex control tasks entirely inside of its scalable world model! 🌎🤖 Dreamer 4 pushes the frontier of world model accuracy, speed, and learning complex tasks from offline datasets. co-led with @wilson1yan

    Really enjoyed this conversation on the BuzzRobot podcast! 🤖⚡ We covered a lot of ground on the future of the field: - the path from frontier models to AGI - discovering instead of distilling reasoning - continual learning - scalable objectives - how to solve robotics

    Key points from my recent conversation with @danijarh - Architecture doesn’t matter to achieve AGI. What is missing: algorithmic advances and objective function improvements. More compute still matters. - AI shouldn’t be limited by human reasoning. It will be able to go beyond

    Today is my last day at @GoogleDeepMind. After almost exactly 10 years at Google including 12 internships and the last 2 1/2 years full time, it really feels like a chapter coming to an end. I'm grateful for all the experiences and friends I've made at Google and DeepMind. I
