Finally, this work is out!!

We found that controlling vehicle speeds to mitigate traffic across a city can cut carbon emissions between 11 and 22 percent. To do this, we used deep reinforcement learning to optimize one million eco-driving scenarios. ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿค–๐Ÿง

Checkout our recent work on cooperative eco-driving with deep RL at city scale. #reinforcementlearning #eco-driving #autonomousvehicles

Congrats Eugene!! Looking forward to seeing how far we can push well-engineered meta learning.

We built an AI assistant that plays Minecraft with you.
Start building a houseโ€”it figures out what youโ€™re doing and jumps in to help.

This assistant *wasn't* trained with RLHF. Instead, it's powered by *assistance games*, a better path forward for building AI assistants. ๐Ÿงต

We've built a simulated driving agent that we trained on 1.6 billion km of driving with no human data.
It is SOTA on every planning benchmark we tried.
In self-play, it goes 20 years between collisions.
