What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Wait for stronger evidence

Why
Real, quantified progress (roughly doubling SIMA 1, self-improvement without human data) with a clean cross-domain link to Genie 3, but still virtual-only, research-preview, with notable reasoning regressions and precision/long-horizon gaps.
Next
Track sim-to-real transfer and whether self-improvement loops generalize beyond games; revisit when DeepMind reports physical-robot results or opens broader access
