🎮 People Are Using Super Mario to Benchmark AI Now
Researchers from Hao AI Lab at the University of California San Diego tested AI models on Super Mario Bros., with Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 outperforming other models like Google’s Gemini 1.5 Pro and OpenAI’s GPT-4o.
The game used was modified to run in an emulator with a framework called GamingAgent, which allowed the AI to control Mario by generating Python code based on instructions and in-game screenshots.
Reasoning models struggled with real-time gameplay due to their slower decision-making process, highlighting challenges in using games as effective benchmarks for evaluating AI capabilities.
