With endorsements from professionals across industries, it's clear that Native AI is setting a new standard for efficiency and effectiveness in the workplace.

Gato is the generalist agent DeepMind introduced in its May 2022 research post "A Generalist Agent." One transformer policy with shared weights handles chat, image captioning, Atari games, and real robot arm block stacking from the same model. The post describes it as a multi-modal, multi-task, multi-embodiment policy that picks whether to emit text, joint torques, button presses, or other tokens based on context.

Most tools in this space train a separate model per task domain. Gato instead serializes every modality and environment into a flat token sequence and runs it through a transformer shaped like a large language model. That means one pretrained checkpoint moves between dialogue, vision, and control without swapping architectures.

During training, data from simulated and real environments mixes with natural language and image datasets, with loss masked so Gato predicts only action and text targets. At deployment, a prompt tokenizes first, each new observation appends to the sequence, and the model samples an action vector one token at a time inside a 1024-token context window. The blog includes domain-grouped charts of tasks where the pretrained model clears expert score thresholds.
