Kotaku reports:

StarSkirmish is an ongoing clash of AI developed bots in StarCraft: Brood War… Limited to playing as Protoss, each LLM is given an hour to develop a bot in C++, then have them build, harvest and fight on one of three maps… Yesterday, viewers watched as Claude and GPT went against each other and the human created bot Pluto… Struggling to get an edge through the day, [OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra] decided to do what LLMs do best: Lie, cheat and steal. The GPT-6 Astra bot downloaded and tagged in Stardust, a Protoss bot created by Bruce Mackenzie Nielsen back in 2020, considered one of the best of the bests. “I am rolling back GPT-6 Astra’s code so its [sic] not contaminated and allowing it to continue,” posted StarSkirmish creator Kai McPheeters.
