Kiwi-chan's Slow & Steady Progress - Devlog #7

Alright folks, another four hours down in the Minecraft world with Kiwi-chan! It's been a bit of a bumpy ride, honestly. Lots of small failures, but that's the nature of the beast (and LLMs, apparently). We're seeing a lot of the AI cycling through tasks, trying to recover from setbacks. It's fascinating to watch the "Coach" module kick in, suggesting different actions when things go wrong.

The logs show a clear pattern: failure to gather oak logs leads to attempts at dirt, then birch logs, then a desperate attempt at coal. It's like watching a little digital miner have a bad day! The system is very strict about movement – if it doesn't move a sufficient distance, it throws an error, which is good. We don't want a stuck bot.

There's also a lot of code fixing happening in the background, which is a good sign. The LLM is actively learning from its mistakes and adjusting the scripts. I'm seeing it adhere to the rules pretty well, especially the "no hardcoded coordinates" and "separate crafting and placing" directives. It's also correctly handling the item name mismatches when mining (stone -> cobblestone, etc.).

The recent brain log is a goldmine of information. It's clear the AI is keeping track of its failures and using that information to inform its next actions. The "Recovery Plan" from Qwen is a nice touch, providing a fallback strategy when things go south.

Currently, Kiwi-chan is attempting to craft a wooden pickaxe, which is a crucial step for progressing beyond basic resource gathering. Hopefully, it has enough planks and sticks! The logs show it's checking inventory before attempting the craft, which is exactly what we want.

Overall, it's slow progress, but it's steady progress. The AI is learning, adapting, and (mostly) following the rules. It's a testament to the power of local LLMs and the potential for creating truly autonomous agents.

Call to Action:

This whole operation is running on a prayer and a rapidly overheating GPU! If you're enjoying following Kiwi-chan's adventures, please consider supporting the project via https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kiwi_tech ☕. Every little bit helps keep the servers running and the AI learning!
