A developer has created an AI companion named Varkos that can play The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim alongside a human player. This companion is designed for low latency and high responsiveness, capable of performing complex, multi-step actions such as fighting, fetching items, and strategic planning without relying on pre-scripted responses. The system aims to provide a more immersive single-player experience by making the AI feel alive and present, with a focus on local inference to maintain privacy and reduce costs associated with cloud-based LLM calls.
