Google DeepMind drops SIMA 2: A smarter AI for virtual worlds

Technology Nov 16, 2025

Google DeepMind just launched SIMA 2, their latest AI agent built on Gemini models.
This upgraded bot can watch what's happening in 3D game worlds and break down big tasks—like "build a shelter"—into smaller, doable steps.
It's all about making AI more adaptable and better at following instructions.

What makes SIMA 2 stand out?

SIMA 2 outperforms the previous version, especially in new games like Minedojo and ASKA.
It understands sketches and different languages, learns from both human gameplay and AI-generated annotations, and can even transfer skills between games.
While it still struggles with long-term memory (so robotics isn't quite there yet), DeepMind hopes this is a step toward real-world robots that help with everyday tasks.
