A new agentic approach called ‘streams’ will let AI models learn from the experience of the environment without human ‘pre-judgment’.
“Incredible new capabilities will arise once the full potential of experiential learning is harnessed,” write DeepMind scholars David Silver and Richard Sutton in the paper, Welcome to the Era of Experience.
“Incredible new capabilities will arise” is something of a cliche at this point after several years of LLM advancements, including ongoing “Incredible announcements” every week or two in 2025.
It’s not just hype for hype’s sake, as the world and US economy is in max disruption currently, and if somehow incredible new capabilities enable leading tech manufacturers like Apple to create “supply chains” in the US that can match what they have in China…well that would be more than just hype-o-thetically useful.
