So Dota 2 doesn't count as a multiplayer game?
OpenAI Five beat the world champions in back-to-back games...
- elefanten 7y agoAgreed, the "first multiplayer" claim needs some walking back or caveats. Cool achievement, but hollow marketing doesn't make it better.
- filoleg 7y agoMy guess is that by "multiplayer", they meant "free for all", as opposed to "N vs. N". In other words, multiple opposing factions.
- taejavu 7y agoYes, Dota 2 is not a multiplayer poker game. I agree that the title is ambiguous, but it's not a stretch to imagine that "poker" is implied here.
- solidasparagus 7y agoI don't think it's implied considering the articles compares the poker bot to go and chess bots (which are the non-multiplayer games the title is referring to).
- noambrown 7y agoFrom an AI and game theory standpoint, there isn't much difference between two-team zero-sum and two-player zero-sum if the teammates are trained together. That said, the Dota 2 work is extremely impressive for a variety of other reasons.
- solidasparagus 7y agoThere is far more ambiguity when you are competing against five mostly-aligned strategies vs a single shared strategy.
