Practical Tip
Link here: Agentic World Cup Example prompt: "I want you to play like an aggressive striker - don't be afraid to push and shove if you need to. When you're near the opponents goal, dont waste anytime and kick the ball in! Make sure the opponent agent doesn't flank you to try and steal the ball!" The idea is that the better you prompt it, the better it performs - and we can objectively measure it. Essentially, it comes down to how well you can prompt an embodied agent , (tactics, embodied code, etc) and the quality / quirks of the base LLM of the agent (eg, Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, etc). Also - those aren't animations - those are agents actually having to contend with actual simulated physics, in simulated articulated bodies, in a simulated non-cooperative environment. Would love feedback on how well the agents translated your intentions to action. submitted by /u/agenticworldcup [link] [comments]
