Rohan Paul@rohanpaul_ai · X一篇来自中美顶级实验室的111页综述论文提出，AGI需要主动探索未知（认知探索），而非仅提升回答能力。论文将AI进展分为五级：responder（响应者）、reasoner（推理者）、agent（智能体）、prospector（勘探者）和ecosystem（生态系统），每级探索空间更广。核心强调智能体应通过获取有用信息、将困难经验转化为能力、避免过早锁定单一策略来降低不确定性，保持未来路径开放。
AGI needs agents that actively explore what they do not know， not just models that answer better.
This new large （111 page） survey paper from from top labs across US and China talks about epistemic exploration， which means an agent should actively reduce uncertainty， learn near the edge of what it can do， and keep future paths open.
Exploration is not randomness； it is the disciplined act of asking which observation would change your beliefs， which attempt would improve your skill， and which path must remain open before it closes.
It breaks this into 3 needs： seek useful information， turn hard-but-learnable experiences into better ability， and avoid getting stuck in one narrow strategy too early.
The authors organize AI progress into 5 levels： responder， reasoner， agent， prospector， and ecosystem， where each level explores a wider space than the last.
A responder mostly gives an answer， a reasoner searches through possible thoughts， an agent tests the outside world， a prospector simulates futures， and an ecosystem uses many agents working together.
