Hyperparam Tech's Products and Services

• AI Bot: Provides human-like strategy models to give players a better gaming experience.

• AI Copilot: Features advanced interaction upgrades, enabling more complex engagement with players.

• AI Native Games: Combines AI NPC technology to build dynamically evolving NPC societies, offering rich player experiences.

Hyperparam Tech's Project Applications:

• GAEA System: The GAEA system launched by Hyperparam Tech is a technical platform capable of building an AI NPC ecosystem. By simulating real-world NPC behaviors, the system enables these characters to not only possess memory but also exhibit personalized responses based on player choices. This technology was fully demonstrated in the "Living Chang'an City" Demo released in 2023, where hundreds of AI NPCs with unique personalities and memories interacted freely within complex 3D scenes.

• AI NPC Technology: Hyperparam Tech has developed the GAEA system, capable of building an NPC world driven by a large number of AI Agents. These NPCs have their own souls and character backgrounds, are capable of self-decision-making, and engage in purposeful interactions with players.

• AI Game Applications: Hyperparam Tech's new title in development, "Distant Planet: Builder," deeply integrates AI technology into game design. The game allows players to build complex social relationships with NPCs, and an integrated AI logic system behind the NPCs makes their behavior more realistic and dynamic. Players are not just controllers but can also influence the game's progression through dialogue and decisions.

• Application of Large Language Models: Hyperparam Tech has introduced large language models into its games, giving AI NPCs more freedom and emotion, making their behavior not merely preset but continuously evolving through interaction with players.

• Commercial Implementation: Hyperparam Tech has established deep collaborations with multiple well-known teams, and its AI bots have been deployed in several products with tens of millions of daily active users, serving users across many countries worldwide.
