Microsoft’s Muse AI edits video games on the fly
Microsoft's Muse, a 1.6-billion-parameter transformer model, can generate several minutes of gameplay from a single screenshot, trained on 500,000 hours of player data from Bleeding Edge. Unlike competitors, it incorporates controller inputs and maintains remarkable consistency. Associate Professor Julian Togelius emphasizes its significance: "They have trained what's essentially a neural game engine that has unprecedented temporal coherence and fidelity. That has wide implications and is something I could see being used in the future as part of game development more generally."
