This is our earlier work. Since May we've made it really easy for the community to build their own agents to play the game: you can now hook up your terminal to get Claude Code to play the game.
Is there going to be some kind of plugin support for other games? Id love to see Claude playa age of empires. Claude plays command and conquer. I already know there a huge AI starcraft 2 scene, but I don't think those are LLM AI.
I am really keen on plugging into Age of Empires 2 - although practically I think we need a couple of years of improvements before LLMs would be smart/fast enough to react to the game in realtime. Currently they can't react fast enough - although specially trained networks could be viable.

Open AI tried to create a Dota 2 AI with reinforcement learning. Some of its best people worked on that.
They had to dumb down the game and keep the bot playing on the same patch, even then it could not win against a proffesional team.

I'm pretty sure that AI did take at least a few games off of the pros. IIRC the professional team only had one win, the last match.
I do agree that the game was terribly dumbed down to make it tractable. I keep hoping they'll revisit Dota 2 to see if they can find meaningful improvements and tackle the full game.

The last time they deployed it... It beat the current world champions

#16This is dope. When is it appropriate to start enabling multiple agents for one player to see if they can collaborate and divide up roles?

Yes, the OpenAI Five bots won a best of three in their custom format, back in 2019. The bots won the first two games, then a third game was played which the humans won, which is the point I was trying to make (I'm not the GP).
Unless you know of another time the bots were deployed formally against a pro team more recently, which I'd love to hear about.
