Researchers from Carnegie Mellon, MIT, NYU, and Stanford built an AI system called Ataraxos that defeated top Stratego player Pim Niemeijer by 15 wins to 1, with four draws. The result is notable because Stratego is an imperfect-information game with long-horizon hidden information, and the model was trained using just 16 GPUs and a few thousand dollars.
