OpenAI Plays Hide and Seek…and Breaks The Game!

From the Author: We’ve observed agents discovering progressively more complex tool use while playing a simple game of hide-and-seek.

Through training in our new simulated hide-and-seek environment, agents build a series of six distinct strategies and counterstrategies, some of which we did not know our environment supported.

The self-supervised emergent complexity in this simple environment further suggests that multi-agent co-adaptation may one day produce extremely complex and intelligent behavior.
