  • Publication number: 20220036153
    Abstract: Methods and artificial intelligence agents are provided to train or guide an artificial intelligence agent. Visual data and/or text data are received from the artificial intelligence agent and/or an environment of the artificial intelligence agent. A text prompt is generated based on the visual information and/or the text data. The text prompt is provided to an ultra-large language model. Text output of the ultra-large language model is received in response to the text prompt. The artificial intelligence agent is supplied with the text output of the ultra-large language model and/or the text output converted into an alternative format. The artificial intelligence agent is configured to select an action, a series of actions, and/or the policy based on the state of an environment of the artificial intelligence agent and on the text output of the ultra-large language model and/or the text output converted into the alternative format.
