So excited to share our work on the new frontier for generally capable agents in 3D worlds!! Some of the most exciting showcases of agentic capabilities in the blog post, including on entire unseen Genie generated worlds 😜

SIMA 2 is our most capable AI agent for virtual 3D worlds. 👾🌐 Powered by Gemini, it goes beyond following basic instructions to think, understand, and take actions in interactive environments – meaning you can talk to it through text, voice, or even images. Here’s how 🧵

The secret behind Gemini 3? Simple: Improving pre-training & post-training 🤯 Pre-training: Contra the popular belief that scaling is over—which we discussed in our NeurIPS '25 talk with @ilyasut and @quocleix—the team delivered a drastic jump. The delta between 2.5 and 3.0 is

For example I’ve been doing a bunch of late night vibe coding with Gemini 3 in @GoogleAIStudio, and it’s so much fun! I recreated a testbed of my game Theme Park 🎢 that I programmed in the 90s in a matter of hours, down to letting players adjust the amount of salt on the chips!

Super excited to announce SIMA 2! It’s a general agent that can understand & reason about complex instructions and complete tasks in simulated game worlds, even ones it has never seen before. Incredible to see how it can learn just from self-play… a crucial step towards AGI

3 years ago I started the SIMA project with the dream of using 3D games as worlds in which to train and test Gemini based game agents — all as a stepping stone towards real world AGI. See the linked DeepMind blog post for more information about what the team has since achieved!
