Google DeepMind's Four Gemini 4 Argon Agents Beat Minecraft From a Random Spawn in 27 Hours With 2,783 Programs

Satinder Singh and Roberta Raileanu report that four general-purpose Gemini 4 Argon coding agents, each driving a Mineflayer bot and coordinating only via in-game chat and a shared memory, defeated the Ender Dragon from a random seed in 27 hours 14 minutes. The team wrote 2,783 JavaScript programs, exchanged 229 messages, died 605 times, and converged on specialization, triangulation, and item-rescue behaviors with no pre-assigned roles or human-written game tools. The authors flag it as the first end-to-end autonomous completion of Minecraft by AI agents using only the standard Mineflayer library.
