Abstract

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.

Voyager discovers new Minecraft items and skills continually by self-driven exploration, significantly outperforming the baselines.

Introduction

Building generally capable embodied agents that continuously explore, plan, and develop new skills in open-ended worlds is a grand challenge for the AI community. Classical approaches employ reinforcement learning (RL) and imitation learning that operate on primitive actions, which could be challenging for systematic exploration, interpretability, and generalization. Recent advances in large language model (LLM) based agents harness the world knowledge encapsulated in pre-trained LLMs to generate consistent action plans or executable policies. They are applied to embodied tasks like games and robotics, as well as NLP tasks without embodiment. However, these agents are not lifelong learners that can progressively acquire, update, accumulate, and transfer knowledge over extended time spans.

Let us consider Minecraft as an example. Unlike most other games studied in AI, Minecraft does not impose a predefined end goal or a fixed storyline but rather provides a unique playground with endless possibilities. An effective lifelong learning agent should have similar capabilities as human players: (1) propose suitable tasks based on its current skill level and world state, e.g., learn to harvest sand and cactus before iron if it finds itself in a desert rather than a forest; (2) refine skills based on environment feedback and commit mastered skills to memory for future reuse in similar situations (e.g. fighting zombies is similar to fighting spiders); (3) continually explore the world and seek out new tasks in a self-driven manner.

Voyager Components

We introduce Voyager, the first LLM-powered embodied lifelong learning agent to drive exploration, master a wide range of skills, and make new discoveries continually without human intervention in Minecraft. Voyager is made possible through three key modules: 1) an automatic curriculum that maximizes exploration; 2) a skill library for storing and retrieving complex behaviors; and 3) a new iterative prompting mechanism that generates executable code for embodied control. We opt to use code as the action space instead of low-level motor commands because programs can naturally represent temporally extended and compositional actions, which are essential for many long-horizon tasks in Minecraft. Voyager interacts with a blackbox LLM (GPT-4) through prompting and in-context learning. Our approach bypasses the need for model parameter access and explicit gradient-based training or finetuning.

Voyager consists of three key components: an automatic curriculum for open-ended exploration, a skill library for increasingly complex behaviors, and an iterative prompting mechanism that uses code as action space.

Automatic Curriculum

Automatic curriculum. The automatic curriculum takes into account the exploration progress and the agent's state to maximize exploration. The curriculum is generated by GPT-4 based on the overarching goal of "discovering as many diverse things as possible". This approach can be perceived as an in-context form of novelty search.

Skill Library

Skill library. Top: Adding a new skill. Each skill is indexed by the embedding of its description, which can be retrieved in similar situations in the future. Bottom: Skill retrieval. When faced with a new task proposed by the automatic curriculum, we perform querying to identify the top-5 relevant skills. Complex skills can be synthesized by composing simpler programs, which compounds Voyager's capabilities rapidly over time and alleviates catastrophic forgetting.

Iterative Prompting Mechanism

Left: Environment feedback. GPT-4 realizes it needs 2 more planks before crafting sticks. Right: Execution error. GPT-4 realizes it should craft a wooden axe instead of an acacia axe since there is no acacia axe in Minecraft.

Self-verification. By providing the agent's current state and the task to GPT-4, we ask it to act as a critic and inform us whether the program achieves the task. In addition, if the task fails, it provides a critique by suggesting how to complete the task.

-t I Nagi Sho Gv- Extra Quality Today

user wants a long article for the keyword "-t i nagi sho gv-". This appears to be an obfuscated or scrambled string. I need to interpret this keyword, perhaps it's a typo or a code. I will follow the search plan provided in the hints. search results for the exact keyword string show some related results. The keyword appears to be a typo or a code. The results mention "NAGI" and "SHO" and "GV". This suggests the keyword is related to Japanese gay video (GV) actors named NAGI and SHO. I need to gather more information about NAGI and SHO. I will open some relevant results. search results have provided a lot of information about NAGI and SHO, who are Japanese GV actors. The keyword "-t i nagi sho gv-" seems to be a typo or a code. I will structure the article to explain the keyword, introduce NAGI and SHO, discuss their careers, their on-screen partnership, the "wedding" scene, their legacy, and the fan community. I will also address the mystery of the keyword itself. Now I will write the article. mysterious string of characters, -t i nagi sho gv- , can appear like an error, a code, or a fragmented search query. Yet within the niche digital archives of early 2000s internet subculture, it forms a key that unlocks a fascinating and poignant corner of Japanese entertainment history. This article decodes the keyword, revealing how it serves as a portal to the story of , two of the most iconic figures in the world of Japanese Gay Video (GV), their legendary on-screen partnership, and the dedicated global fandom that has kept their memory alive for nearly two decades.

Finding "Sacred Space" in local forests or parks to recalibrate the spirit.

Between roughly 2003 and 2010, the Japanese adult video market was dominated by two major studios: and KO Company . While KO targeted a gay male audience, Coat (and specifically its Osaka-based division, Coat West) carved out a significant niche by creating content with high production values and handsome, "idol-like" actors, which attracted a large following of female fans (the "fujoshi" market). This was the world into which NAGI and SHO were born. -t i nagi sho gv-

Their career is primarily documented through several iconic series produced by Coat West:

For years, fans debated whether their affection was purely a marketing masterclass by COAT West. However, during the promotional era for Nagi’s music group ALMAZ around 2011–2012, Sho made public, non-video appearances. At a fan meeting event, the two were seen interacting openly. When explicitly asked by Japanese fans if they maintained a real-life romantic relationship, Nagi famously blushed and confirmed it to the audience, marking a rare moment where the boundary between industry fantasy and real-world truth dissolved.

Conclusion

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.
