First, it learns how the world state evolves over time in response to player interaction. To do this, we train a model directly on the internal state of one or more gamesβin the case of Agora-1, GoldenEye. This model learns the underlying gameplay dynamics and how state transitions occur from player actions. Second, Agora-1 learns how to render that shared state visually. This is accomplished using a DiT-based world model conditioned directly on the shared game state, rather than prompts,…

β¨ Check out this trending post from Hacker News π π **Category**: π‘ **What Youβll Learn**: We are in the age of inference. Billion- to trillion-parameter neural networks are run on specialized accelerators at quadrillions of operations per second to generate media, author software, and fold proteins at massive scale. Inference workloads are more variable and less predictable than the training workloads that previously dominated. That makes them a natural fit for serverless computing, where applications are defined at a level above the (virtual) machine so that they can be more readily scaled up and down to handle variable load.…
