Combining Code Generating Large Language Models and Self-Play to Iteratively Refine Strategies in Games

IJCAI 2025

We propose a self-play approach to generating strategies for playing in multi-player games, where strategies are represented as computer code. We use large language models (LLMs) to generate pieces of code to play in the game, which we refer to as generated bots. We engage the LLM generated bots in

The Automated LLM Speedrunning Benchmark: Reproducing NanoGPT Improvements

NeurIPS 2025poster

Rapidly improving large language models (LLMs) have the potential to assist in scientific progress. One critical skill in this endeavor is the ability to faithfully reproduce existing work. To evaluate the capability of AI agents to reproduce complex code in an active research area, we introduce the…
