Google researchers report four Gemini 4 Argon agents beat Minecraft in 27 hours
Google researchers report that four Gemini 4 Argon agents defeated Minecraft’s Ender Dragon in 27 hours in a randomly generated world. Given only a final objective and no predefined strategy, the agents coordinated through in-game chat and divided tasks. Researchers could monitor the run, pause it or terminate it, but could not otherwise intervene.
What to know
- 01
The four agents sent 229 messages, ran 2,783 programs and died 605 times during the run.
- 02
The run used 1.35 billion input tokens, with an estimated cost of about $1,620 at ordinary-user rates.
Why it matters
The experiment provides a concrete example of autonomous multi-agent coordination and its resource costs in a game setting.
