| 2016 || December 5 || Userbase || DeepMind announces open-sourcing DeepMind Lab, its 3D game-like platform for agent-based AI research, so that others can try and make advances in the field of AI. The DeepMind Lab project was used to create enviroments capable of testing AI systems’ ability to achieve goals in a wide range of environments. Tasks such as navigation in mazes, collecting fruit, traversing dangerous passages, laser tag and interaction with bots have been developed to refine the programs. The development of mazes and challenges were designed using video game {{w|Quake III Arena}}’s 17-year-old software, to teach its artificial intelligence programs how to operate in 3D spaces.<ref>{{cite web |last1=McCarthy |first1=John |title=Google DeepMind releases source code to the Quake III levels its using to train AIs |url=https://www.thedrum.com/news/2016/12/05/google-deepmind-releases-source-code-the-quake-iii-levels-its-using-train-ais |website=thedrum.com |accessdate=30 May 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Condon |first1=Stephanie |title=OpenAI, DeepMind open source AI training platforms |url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/openai-deepmind-open-source-ai-training-platforms/ |website=zdnet.com |accessdate=30 May 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Shead |first1=Sam |title=DeepMind is opening up its 'flagship' platform to AI researchers outside the company |url=https://www.businessinsider.com/deepmind-opens-up-lab-to-ai-researchers-2016-12 |website=businessinsider.com |accessdate=30 May 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Kahn |first1=Jeremy |title=Google DeepMind Makes AI Training Platform Publicly Available |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-12-05/google-deepmind-makes-ai-training-platform-publicly-available |website=bloomberg.com |accessdate=30 May 2019}}</ref>
