Google Gemini 4 agents just beat Minecraft with no human intervention

Google's Deepmind "AlphaGo" AI is famous for winning at Go, but the company's latest Gemini AI just mastered a far more complex game. Four Gemini 4 Argon agents beat Minecraft's final "Ender Dragon" foe with no human intervention by working individually while sharing tips, threats and mistakes, Google researchers revealed in a new paper. The experiment shows how general agentic AI models can now beat complex games, a feat that used to required custom AI software. To tackle Minecraft, the Gemini 4 team set four AI agents into a sandboxed, randomized Minecraft survival world with a goal to defeat the Ender Dragon. No roles, strategies or game-specific tools were assigned.
