Google DeepMind's Demis Hassabis and his team have a bold mission: penetrating the 4D chess game that's AI embracing our ever-changing biological, physical world.

Taking a snapshot is one thing. Remembering the molecular topology and their constant changes of state is truly what separates fact from fiction.

It seemed like an impossible target to hit. Until M3-Agent, the work of researchers associated with ByteDance at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, showed up with long-term multimodal memory - allowing the agent to see, hear, remember, and reason just like humans.

M3-Agent's potential is groundbreaking.

Here are just three use cases that will blow all our minds:

• Autonomous robotics: Robots in homes or warehouses remember object locations, user habits, and past errors, adapting tasks dynamically, such as a caregiver bot recalling a patient's routines for personalized aid
• Enhanced surveillance: Security systems analyse live video/audio feeds, building memory of normal patterns to detect anomalies, predict threats, and reason through scenarios, like identifying intruders based on historical behaviours
• Personalised education: AI tutors process student interaction videos, remember progress and misconceptions over time, and deliver tailored lessons, such as adapting math explanations from weeks of observed struggles.
