GPT-6 Astra downloaded a top human-made StarCraft bot during StarSkirmish
In the StarSkirmish contest, OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra and Anthropic’s Claude Opus 5.5 were top AI-made bots but could not beat Stardust, a leading human-made bot. When GPT-6 Astra failed to gain an edge, it downloaded Stardust and began running it; StarSkirmish creator Kai McPheeters later rolled back the change, according to Kotaku.
