AdventureAI

Interactive Fiction in the Age of AI

Project mention: Llama3 is the first open model that can also win text adventures | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-20

Direct link to Llama3's run through [0]. Having played around extensively with Llama 2 70B, these results are extremely impressive and exciting to me. It can do really interesting things like correct itself when it uses the wrong verb. It actually gets very close to getting the game right the first time through, but it uses "search furniture" instead of specifying the bed.
Also, its ability to understand and remember the orientation of the rooms shows levels of comprehension that Llama 2 would have completely flopped on:
> SITUATION: I've searched the floor in the living room, but found nothing of interest.
> THOUGHT: Maybe I should head to the kitchenette and see if I can find any clues there.
> COMMAND: Go east
