• AgentGarten: Code Worlds for Evolving Agents

  AgentGarten couples physics engines to a shared neural renderer through untextured 3D geometry maps. This separation lets AI agents interact with photorealistic virtual worlds in real time while keeping physical rules and object coordinates explicitly controllable in code.
