What if we set GPT-4 free in Minecraft? ⛏️ I’m excited to announce Voyager, the first lifelong learning agent that plays Minecraft purely in-context. Voyager continuously improves itself by writing, refining, committing, and retrieving *code* from a skill library. GPT-4 unlocks a new paradigm: “training” is code execution rather than gradient descent. “Trained model” is a codebase of skills that Voyager iteratively composes, rather than matrices of floats. We are pushing no-gradient architecture to its limit. Voyager rapidly becomes a seasoned explorer. In Minecraft, it obtains 3.3× more unique items, travels 2.3× longer distances, and unlocks key tech tree milestones up to 15.3× faster than prior methods. We open-source everything. Let generalist agents emerge in Minecraft! Welcome you all to try today: voyager.minedojo.org/ Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2305.16291 Code: github.com/MineDojo/Voyager Deep dive with me: 🧵
