Voyager discovers new Minecraft items and skills continually by self-driven exploration, significantly outperforming the baselines.
We introduce Voyager, the first LLM-powered embodied lifelong learning agent in Minecraft that continuously explores the world, acquires diverse skills, and makes novel discoveries without human intervention. Voyager consists of three key components: 1) an automatic curriculum that maximizes exploration, 2) an ever-growing skill library of executable code for storing and retrieving complex behaviors, and 3) a new iterative prompting mechanism that incorporates environment feedback, execution errors, and self-verification for program improvement. Voyager interacts with GPT-4 via blackbox queries, which bypasses the need for model parameter fine-tuning. The skills developed by Voyager are temporally extended, interpretable, and compositional, which compounds the agent's abilities rapidly and alleviates catastrophic forgetting. Empirically, Voyager shows strong in-context lifelong learning capability and exhibits exceptional proficiency in playing Minecraft. It obtains 3.3x more unique items, travels 2.3x longer distances, and unlocks key tech tree milestones up to 15.3x faster than prior SOTA. Voyager is able to utilize the learned skill library in a new Minecraft world to solve novel tasks from scratch, while other techniques struggle to generalize.
Author: Jaume Cela
Genre: Young adult literature / Historical fiction (set during the Holocaust)
Jaume Cela’s Ombres a la foscor (Shadows in the Darkness) is not just a book about the Holocaust—it’s a profound exploration of how memory survives when identity is stripped away. Through the eyes of Samuel, a Jewish boy who loses everything except his will to live, the novel blends stark realism with lyrical flashes of hope. Below is a chapter-by-chapter summary that highlights the novel’s emotional and narrative arc.
El cinquè capítol està ple d'acció i suspense. Els personatges principals es veuen obligats a afrontar les conseqüències de les seves accions anteriors. La veritat comença a sortir a la llum, però encara hi ha molt per descobrir. ombres a la foscor resum per capitols
En Claudi desafia el Rei d’Ombres a un joc d’endevinalles. Si perd, es quedarà per sempre sense ombra. Guanya gràcies a un enigma que li va explicar el llibreter. Recupera la seva ombra i el món real torna a la normalitat.
Joël is liberated from a sub-camp of Dachau. He has kept his violin, now a shattered ruin – cracked, missing strings. He returns to his hometown. The apartment is occupied by a gentile family who pretend they never knew the Jews who lived there. The watchmaker’s shop is now a bakery. His past has been erased. Ombres a la foscor: A Journey Through Fear,
Durant una pausa en el viatge, o potser a través d'una visió provocada pel cristall, la Iria descobreix fragments de la veritat sobre l'origen de la foscor. S'explica la llegenda de la Lluna Negra i per què es va apagar. La Iria descobreix que la seva connexió amb el cristell no és casualitat: ella és l'hereva d'una força antiga. Aquesta revelació li suposa una gran responsabilitat que no està segura de poder assumir.
En Samuel trepitja per primera vegada Auschwitz. Els crits, les xemeneies, el filferro espinós. Li tallen els cabells, li prenen la roba, li tatue un número al braç: 18463. Deixa de ser Samuel. Comença la lluita per no esborrar-se a si mateix. Capítol 5: La Veritat Comença a Sortir El
Màrius and other prisoners are forced to dig anti-tank trenches along the French coast. A guard, Schmidt, a middle-aged German with a love for Schumann, hears Màrius whistling a Catalan folk song. Schmidt is intrigued but shows no mercy. This chapter introduces the theme of ambiguous morality: can an art lover be a brute?
Twenty years later. Màrius is old and dying in a small flat in Girona. A young journalist interviews him about his experiences. Màrius finally speaks. He describes the quarry, the names, the kapo Ferenc, the death march. The journalist asks: “Per què va sobreviure?” (Why did you survive?) Màrius answers: “No ho sé. Però cada dia em demano perdó als que no van viure.”

In this work, we introduce Voyager, the first LLM-powered embodied lifelong learning agent, which leverages GPT-4 to explore the world continuously, develop increasingly sophisticated skills, and make new discoveries consistently without human intervention. Voyager exhibits superior performance in discovering novel items, unlocking the Minecraft tech tree, traversing diverse terrains, and applying its learned skill library to unseen tasks in a newly instantiated world. Voyager serves as a starting point to develop powerful generalist agents without tuning the model parameters.
"They Plugged GPT-4 Into Minecraft—and Unearthed New Potential for AI. The bot plays the video game by tapping the text generator to pick up new skills, suggesting that the tech behind ChatGPT could automate many workplace tasks." - Will Knight, WIRED
"The Voyager project shows, however, that by pairing GPT-4’s abilities with agent software that stores sequences that work and remembers what does not, developers can achieve stunning results." - John Koetsier, Forbes
"Voyager, the GTP-4 bot that plays Minecraft autonomously and better than anyone else" - Ruetir
"This AI used GPT-4 to become an expert Minecraft player" - Devin Coldewey, TechCrunch
