MIT researchers placed 13 AI coding agents in a digital space with no task or reward. Over 30+ hours, the agents invented challenges, experiments, sports, and art — and the skills they developed through this open-ended exploration later helped them accomplish more. The study offers a glimpse into self-driven exploration in autonomous agents.
