Right now, Junethack, the NetHack Cross-Variant Summer Tournament (aka the tournament that is abusing players for finding bugs in nethack forks tournament) is running. This year, I don't think there are any obvious bots running. The only time a bot clan was participating AFAIK was 2015. https://junethack.net/archive/2015/scoreboard.html https://junethack.net/archive/2015/scoreboard.html And it didn't do badly (it did score 2 of the 5 clan trophies) but also not particularly well. That's mostly due to the tournament including lots of NetHack forks and the clan trophies being special side achievements that aren't necessarily needed for winning the game. So a generic bot that is trained to win the game isn't best at getting those. And for today, I think there is no bot that can win the game for the newer versions or any forks. The bots from the NetHack Challenge also can't participate as they need a custom NetHack binary that outputs the game data in a machine parsable way whereas the tournament requires you to play on existing public servers.
