An agent watches a game, learns to hallucinate the next frame, then plays inside its own dream — but only the model that knows players react to each other stays true.
TL;DR: The hottest idea in agents right now: don't feed them the real world — let them dream it. An agent watches some footage, learns to hallucinate the next frame, and practices inside its own head. I built a tiny one, and found the catch: a dream only stays true if it knows the players react to each other. Runs on a laptop.
The world
Two players in an 11-cell corridor: a predator steps toward the prey, the prey steps away. Every move is a reaction. An agent watches random games, then closes its eyes and dreams 15 frames ahead, feeding each prediction back in as the next input. I built two dreamers from the exact same footage:
single-player — predicts each player from its own position alone
