The paper introduces a method for creating reactive character behaviors in continuous games as compact, human‑readable programs. It searches over a domain‑specific language that uses reactive geometric decisions and higher‑order constructs to discretize continuous behavior space, while eliminating redundant program forms through synthesis antipatterns. The approach, called agentic sketching, combines bottom‑up symbolic enumeration with top‑down guidance from a coding agent, and outperforms either technique alone on a benchmark of 14 continuous games.
Game Arena is an open, continuously expanding platform that evaluates large language models through competitive games, allowing head‑to‑head matchups in structured environments. Unlike static benchmarks, it prevents performance saturation by increasing gameplay difficulty as models improve. The report outlines the infrastructure and presents three pilot games—Chess, Poker, and Werewolf—covering perfect information, imperfect information, and multiplayer settings, and details evaluation metrics and competition results.
Self-Play Search Distillation (SPSD) is a framework that generates superhuman synthetic data by having MuZero-like networks play board games in executable environments. The search records are converted into structured reasoning chains that serve as environment‑grounded supervision for training large language models. When applied to Qwen3‑4B‑Base, SPSD improves performance on six mathematics benchmarks from 24.1 to 36.6 and raises the win rate on unseen games from 15% to 45%.
