DeepMind AI agents beat Minecraft in 27 hours
Original: Google DeepMind says four AI agents beat Minecraft in 27 hours by writing 2,783 programs of their own — AI team died 605 times on Easy difficulty and ran up an estimated $520 in tokens
Google DeepMind reports that four AI agents completed Minecraft in 27 hours, writing 2,783 programs themselves along the way. The run was far from flawless: the agents died 605 times despite playing on Easy difficulty, and the token costs of the run are estimated at around $520. The project highlights both the growing autonomy of AI agents and how costly and error-prone long-horizon tasks remain.
Why now: It shows AI agents autonomously coding and completing a complex open-world game, with striking details about failures and cost.
