AGI Prototype Shows Real-Time Self-Correction
A groundbreaking AGI prototype demonstrates capabilities once thought years away: real-time action planning and self-correction based on visual input, with upcoming features including self-awareness and autonomous task execution.
Current Capabilities
The prototype already exhibits:
Visual Understanding:
- Process camera/screen input in real-time
- Understand spatial relationships
- Recognize objects and contexts
- Track changes over time
Action Planning:
- Generate step-by-step plans
- Adapt plans to changing conditions
- Optimize for efficiency
- Handle multi-step tasks
Self-Correction:
- Detect when actions fail
- Analyze failure causes
- Generate alternative approaches
- Retry with improved strategy
Real-World Demonstration
Example Task: "Make Coffee"
1. Agent observes kitchen via camera
2. Plans: Get cup → Add coffee → Add water → Start machine
3. Executes: Reaches for cup
4. Observes: Cup knocked over
5. Self-corrects: "Need to approach differently"
6. Replans: Stabilize cup first, then proceed
7. Successfully completes task
The Self-Correction Loop
How It Works:
Observe → Plan → Act → Evaluate
