“The external world of Agent has just begun.”
The next-generation agents will strive for control over the external world. Their core feature lies in shifting from executing single tasks to building the ability to interact with the real environment. Current technologies rely mainly on internal knowledge bases and simulation data, while future agents will need to connect to the physical world through sensors, robots, and digital twins, achieving a unified closed loop of perception, decision-making, and action. This transformation requires agents to have stronger real-time response capabilities, multi-modal data processing abilities, and adaptive planning skills in dynamic environments. The industry is exploring the deployment of large models on edge devices to ensure low latency, and establishing secure sandbox mechanisms to prevent risks of external command injection. With the improvement of hardware computing power and the increase in the realism of simulation environments, agents will evolve from “digital assistants” into intelligent entities with autonomous action capabilities, reshaping the human-machine collaboration model.
