What is Nvidia's Foundation Agent?

Will Linxi invent something cool soon?

Hey Everyone,

Linxi "Jim" Fan is a Senior Research Scientist at NVIDIA and Lead of AI Agents Initiative. He’s also one of the more recognizable AI influencers on X and LinkedIn. He recently spoke at TED Talks, and in case you haven’t seen it here it is:

Researcher Linxi “Jim” Fan presents the next grand challenge in the quest for AI: the "foundation agent," which would seamlessly operate across both the virtual and physical worlds. He explains how this technology could fundamentally change our lives — permeating everything from video games and metaverses to drones and humanoid robots — and explores how a single model could master skills across these different realities.

His mission is to build generally capable agents across physical worlds (robotics) and virtual worlds (games, simulation). He says he shares insights about AI research & industry extensively on Twitter/X and LinkedIn.
