Pluribus, described in a 2019 Science paper by Noam Brown and Tuomas Sandholm, beat groups of professional poker players at six-player no-limit Texas hold'em across 10,000 hands, a substantially harder problem than the earlier two-player result (Libratus) because game-theoretic guarantees for Nash equilibria largely break down with more than two players. It was reportedly trained using under $150 of cloud computing resources, far less than prior game-playing AI milestones.

Pluribus, described in a 2019 Science paper by Noam Brown and Tuomas Sandholm, beat groups of professional poker players at six-player no-limit Texas hold'em across 10,000 hands, a substantially harder problem than the earlier two-player result (Libratus) because game-theoretic guarantees for Nash equilibria largely break down with more than two players. It was reportedly trained using under $150 of cloud computing resources, far less than prior game-playing AI milestones.
Pluribus, developed by Carnegie Mellon University and Facebook AI Research, defeated a table of five elite human professionals simultaneously (and separately, one elite pro against five copies of itself) at six-player no-limit Texas hold'em, the first superhuman AI result in a poker format with more than two players.
Change a parameter to stress-test whether a proposed result is still inside the published specification. This is an audit aid, not a proof checker.
This record has no editable parameters. Read the formal question and assumptions before challenging it.
Current frontiers derived from accepted Claims.
An observed or demonstrated result; no opposing bound is implied.
The frontier is not sacred
Most progress starts with a disagreement that survives contact with evidence. If you can push the known lower bound up or pull the upper bound down, show us the work.
≥ when you have shown that at least this value is achievable.≤ when you have shown that anything above this value is impossible.No vibes. State the value, define the scope, and link the paper, proof, code, or reproduction that lets another person check it. Editors review every challenge before the public record changes.
