One thing to note is that the AI does not orchestrate all 5 players on the team at once like 1 superhuman player would. Instead it runs 5 instances of itself on each of the heroes and they play together based on how selfish they need to be in any given moment. This earlier blog post[1] has some additional information about how the bot works, including an interactive view into the bot's eyes. >"OpenAI Five does not contain an explicit communication channel between the heroes’ neural networks. Teamwork is controlled by a hyperparameter we dubbed “team spirit”. Team spirit ranges from 0 to 1, putting a weight on how much each of OpenAI Five’s heroes should care about its individual reward function versus the average of the team’s reward functions. We anneal its value from 0 to 1 over training." [1] https://blog.openai.com/openai-five/ https://blog.openai.com/openai-five/
