We are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cs.cmu.edu\/~noamb\/\">Noam Brown<\/a> and Professor <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cs.cmu.edu\/~sandholm\/\">Tuomas Sandholm<\/a>. We recently developed the poker AI <a href=\"https:\/\/science.sciencemag.org\/content\/early\/2019\/07\/10\/science.aay2400\">Pluribus<\/a>, which has proven capable of defeating elite human professionals in six-player no-limit Texas hold&#8217;em poker, the most widely-played poker format in the world. Poker was a long-standing challenge problem for AI due to the importance of hidden information, and Pluribus is the first AI breakthrough on a major benchmark game that has more than two players or two teams. Pluribus was trained using the equivalent of less than $150 worth of compute and runs in real time on 2 CPUs. You can read our blog post on this result <a href=\"https:\/\/ai.facebook.com\/blog\/pluribus-first-ai-to-beat-pros-in-6-player-poker\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We are happy to answer your questions about Pluribus, the experiment, AI, imperfect-information games, Carnegie Mellon, Facebook AI Research, or any other questions you might have! A few of the pros Pluribus played against may also jump in if anyone has questions about what it&#8217;s like playing against the bot, participating in the experiment, or playing professional poker.<\/p>\n<p>We are opening this thread to questions now and will be here starting at 10AM ET on Friday, July 19th to answer them.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/NoamBrown\"> \/u\/NoamBrown <\/a> <br \/><span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/MachineLearning\/comments\/ceece3\/ama_we_are_noam_brown_and_tuomas_sandholm\/\">[link]<\/a><\/span>   <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/MachineLearning\/comments\/ceece3\/ama_we_are_noam_brown_and_tuomas_sandholm\/\">[comments]<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/MachineLearning\/comments\/ceece3\/ama_we_are_noam_brown_and_tuomas_sandholm\/\">Go to Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: \/u\/NoamBrown Hi all!
