NetEase's popular mobile game 'Nirvana in Fire' has partnered with Baidu's Wencin AI model to launch the world's first AI model arena within a game, providing players with a brand-new experience of real-time interaction with AI character roles. This collaboration marks a new frontier in the integration of 'Artificial Intelligence + Gaming,' offering over a hundred million players a more immersive and free gaming experience.

The innovative ACE system developed by Nvidia will allow players to interact with non-player characters (NPCs) in the game using natural language. At its core, the system enables NPCs to understand player voice commands and engage in two-way conversations, recognizing players and their environment through a webcam. In Mecha Break, players can choose different types of mechs to engage in online mech battles on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5. The ACE system combines local and cloud processing.

Canadian startup Artificial Agency has developed an AI behavior engine aimed at transforming traditional video games into more dynamic experiences by improving the behavior of non-player characters (NPCs) and their interaction with players. This engine moves away from the traditional framework where NPCs are guided by decision trees and pre-written scripts, allowing developers to endow each NPC with a set of motivations, rules, and goals to determine how NPCs respond to players. This technology can be integrated into existing games or serve as the foundation for new games, aiming to generate more realistic NPCs through AI.

Baichuan Intelligent has released the character large model Baichuan-NPC and launched a customized solution consisting of a character creation platform and a search-enhanced knowledge base, addressing the high development cost of AI characters in the gaming field. Baichuan-NPC demonstrates excellent character knowledge and conversational abilities, allowing users to quickly build required characters through text descriptions. This low-cost, high-efficiency character customization establishes deep cooperation with leading brands in the pan-entertainment industry to jointly expand AIGC creative application scenarios.

Decentraland has partnered with AI company Inworld to introduce AI-driven NPC characters in their virtual world. Three AI NPCs with unique personalities and conversation styles have been installed in the Genesis Plaza of Decentraland. Future plans include promoting AI-driven NPCs to landowners and allowing users to create their own AI characters through Inworld.
