Latency matters a lot here. A model thinking for 5 secs per move is dead in real-time.

I want to see it lose to a Bronze player first. Then I'll believe it's real.

Would pay to watch a tournament of LLMs on ladder. Make it a stream.

Games are harder to contaminate than static test sets, so I like it as a signal.

The benchmark name 'Star Skirmish' is cute, small maps only though so not full game.

Pretty sure the scripted bots still crush it at macro. LLMs are bad at consistent micro.

Cool demo but the harness does so much of the work, the result is more about scaffolding than the model.
