  • Patent number: 11745109
    Abstract: An artificial intelligent agent can act as a player in a video game, such as a racing video game. The game can be completely external to the agent and can run in real time. In this way, the training system is much more like a real world system. The consoles on which the game runs for training the agent are provided in a cloud computing environment. The agents and the trainers can run on other computing devices in the cloud, where the system can choose the trainers and agent compute based on proximity to console, for example. Users can choose the game they want to run and submit code which can be built and deployed to the cloud system. A resource management service can monitor game console resources between human users and research usage and identify experiments for suspension to ensure enough game consoles for human users.

    Abstract: An artificial intelligent agent can act as a player in a video game, such as a racing video game. The agent can race against, and often beat, the best players in the world. The game can be completely external to the agent and can run in real time. In this way, the training system is much more like a real world system. The consoles on which the game runs for training the agent are provided in a cloud computing environment. The agents and the trainers can run on other computing devices in the cloud, where the system can choose the trainers and agent compute based on proximity to console, for example. Users can choose the game they want to run and submit code which can be built and deployed to the cloud system. Metrics and logs and artifacts from the game can be sent to cloud storage.

  • Publication number: 20220219087
    Abstract: A method for processing an artificial intelligence (AI) model for a gaming application. The method includes training the AI model from a plurality of game plays of a scenario of the gaming application using training state data collected from the plurality of game plays of the scenario and associated success criteria of each of the plurality of game plays. The method includes receiving first input state data during a first game play of the scenario. The method includes applying the first input state data to the AI model to generate an output indicating a degree of success for the scenario for the first game play. The method includes performing an analysis of the output based on a predefined objective. The method includes performing an action to achieve the predefined objective based on the output that is analyzed.
