Super excited to announce SIMA 2! It’s a general agent that can understand & reason about complex instructions and complete tasks in simulated game worlds, even ones it has never seen before. Incredible to see how it can learn just from self-play… a crucial step towards AGI https://x.com/demishassabis/status/1989096784870928721

I gave codex a markdown to keep track of progress and let it chirp away on a massive linter debt, and it worked all night and fixed around ~6000 linter/type issues.
