Can AI self-improve on its own and reach superhuman performance? 🧠

In our Sima 2 paper, we dropped a Gemini agent into an unseen 3D world. The model acted as the task proposer, the agent, and the reward model - autonomously learning from self-generated experience. It surpassed human performance through self-improvement iterations!

The model act as both the 1) task setter - instructing the agent to perform tasks in the environment 2) agent, executing trajectories 3) and reward model - scoring its own trajectories. This builds a self-improvement flywheel purely through self-generated data.

We deploy the self-improvement process in ASKA, enabling the agent to autonomously acquire and improve upon new skills. The agent is capable of progressing significantly further than the SIMA 1 and SIMA 2 agents, despite only ever training on self-generated experience in ASKA.
