I was really hoping the article would go into more detail on how the AI engaged with the human players.

Was it online? the picture on the article seems to imply IRL.

If IRL, what inputs did it have, simply cards shown or could it read tells? Did those players know they were playing an AI?

Pretty incredible that this has scaled down from 100 CPUs (and a couple terabytes of RAM) for their two player limit hold'em bot to just two CPUs for the no limit bot.

How long until a slightly worse version of this model is reverse engineered and appears at every table in online poker?

It was online. The players were playing from home on their own schedules. The bot did not look at any tells (timing tells or otherwise). The players knew they were playing a bot and knew which player the bot was.

Can you share some about what strategies the bot prefers and how these compare with common professional human strategies?

Congrats! As soon as I saw the title I thought “I wonder if this is the project Noam works on...”
