Patrick Chanezon<p>Really cool paper from NVIDIA et al., iterating on LLM-generated rewards algorithms to teach robots in an in-silico simulation environment.</p><p><a href="https://eureka-research.github.io/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">eureka-research.github.io/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>From the paper conclusion: &quot;The versatility and substantial performance gains of EUREKA suggest that the simple principle of combining large language models with evolutionary algorithms is a general and scalable approach to reward design, an insight that may be generally applicable to difficult, open-ended search problems.&quot;</p>
