Agent Lightning v1.0: A 3,500-Line Lightweight Agentic RL Framework for Training Agents with Real Harnesses

Agent Lightning v1.0 is a lightweight 3,500‑line framework designed to connect existing AI agents to reinforcement learning training. It simplifies the process of improving agents by handling tools, context, and decision‑making within a single, easy‑to‑integrate system. The framework allows developers to train agents with real harnesses without the need to rebuild complex underlying structures.

A team of Gemini 4 Argon agents beats Minecraft

A team of four Gemini 4 Argon agents autonomously defeated the Ender Dragon in a sandboxed Minecraft survival world. Using only the open‑source Mineflayer library, the agents coordinated via in‑game chat and shared memory, writing 2,783 programs over 27 hours and 14 minutes while dying 605 times. This marks the first end‑to‑end autonomous completion of Minecraft by AI agents without pre‑scouted seeds or human‑written game‑specific tools.
