OpenTinker's new architecture eliminates the need for local GPUs in reinforcement learning, offering built-in distributed training and seamless agentic workflows. Its high-level Python API abstracts system complexity, enabling developers to focus on task design while scaling experiments efficiently.

Google researchers have unveiled Dreamer 4, an AI agent that mastered diamond collection in Minecraft using purely offline data—a first in reinforcement learning. By training within an ultra-accurate neural world model that simulates complex physics and object interactions, the agent outperforms predecessors while using 100x less data than OpenAI's VPT. This breakthrough demonstrates the potential for real-world applications where physical trial-and-error is impractical, such as robotics.

A new AI system from Skild AI enables robots to continue functioning even after catastrophic damage—like losing limbs to a chainsaw. This 'omni-bodied brain' learns across diverse hardware and tasks, representing a leap toward adaptable robotic intelligence.

DeepSeek's R1 model, a low-cost AI powerhouse excelling in reasoning tasks, has been peer-reviewed in Nature, revealing it learned through pure reinforcement learning—not by mimicking rivals. Costing just $294,000 to train on restricted Nvidia chips, this Chinese innovation has been downloaded over 10 million times and is reshaping how AI transparency and efficiency are approached globally.

A groundbreaking simulation models flies as agents operating in SE(3) space—combining 3D translations and rotations—with real-time reinforcement learning. Users manipulate attractors, repellents, and plumes to shape swarm behavior, revealing how generative proposals and GAN-like critics evolve collective movement. This fusion of differential geometry and AI offers new insights for robotics and autonomous systems.

A provocative analysis challenges conventional AI scaling dogma, predicting specialized reinforcement learning and tiny reasoning models will dominate real-world deployment by 2028—while the first true AGI emerges not as a superintelligent giant, but as a stubborn, benchmark-failing 'dumb' system with emergent personhood. This timeline reshapes how developers should approach AI infrastructure today.
