Altera needed a way to keep autonomous AI agents coherent over long interactions because data quality degraded as agents consumed their own outputs over time, limiting how long they could act independently.
Reported impact
Altera improved agent stability, extended autonomous runtime, and created a foundation for digital humans that can collaborate longer and handle more complex tasks than earlier agent systems.
Altera uses GPT-4o and other OpenAI models inside a parallel multi-module architecture inspired by brain functions to build longer-lived digital humans. Its first product is a set of autonomous agents that can play Minecraft with people like a friend, but the harder engineering challenge was preventing data degradation in long-running agent loops. To solve that, Altera combined OpenAI models with modules for functions such as attention bottlenecks, working memory, and social cognition so the system could preserve better decision quality over extended sessions. User interactions flow into those GPT-backed modules, are processed in parallel, and are then recombined into agent actions and dialogue that stay stable for far longer than prior approaches. The same architecture is intended to support future digital coworkers and multi-agent simulations, making OpenAI the reasoning substrate for more durable emotional and cognitive behaviors.
Human or virtual-world inputs enter Altera's parallel module system, GPT-4o processes cognition and interaction tasks across those modules, and the combined outputs drive longer-running agent behavior back into the game or collaboration environment.
As of mid-2024, Altera's digital humans can operate autonomously for up to four hours at a time
Our composite system combines various modules in parallel, each powered by OpenAI models
These agents achieve longer, more complex interactions without the rapid decline in performance
To combat data degradation and increase the long-term autonomy of their AI agents, Altera turned to OpenAI's language models
