Ubisoft Bordeaux
Founded in 2017, Ubisoft Bordeaux works with passion on the biggest AAA titles to deliver the best gaming experiences. Today, the studio is composed of 400 talents from 20 different nationalities, working on licenses such as Assassin's Creed, Beyond Good & Evil 2 and a free to play game, BattleCore Arena. At the same time, the studio has set up a Tech branch which works on all Ubisoft's online services (named Online Services) as well as on the Anvil game engine. Ubisoft Bordeaux is also home to a R&D team, La Forge, which brings together engineers and researchers to work together on prototypes for game production, particularly around AI topics.
Recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLM) and Visual Language Models (VLM) are revolutionizing many fields, including video games. Multiple video-game companies are already studying how to leverage LLMs for game-changing innovations, such as enabling players to cooperate in natural language with NPCs (non-player characters). Within academia, multiple research labs are studying how to adapt LLMs/VLMs to new use cases, such as interacting in complex environments through reinforcement learning or evolutionary strategies. These breakthroughs open up vast opportunities for enhancing player immersion through more intelligent and responsive NPCs.
This internship aims to explore the integration of LLMs and VLMs with reinforcement learning (RL) or evolutionary strategies to enhance the intelligence and behavior of NPCs and bots in video games. By combining the creative potential of LLMs with the interactive feedback loops of RL, we aim to build better NPCs and reduce iteration time for game developers.
