GPT-6 Sol plays arcade games from screenshots via autoresearch loop

wzenus · x · 2026-10-17

wzenus open-sourced sooool: GPT-6 Sol plays real-time arcade games (like Asterix) from screenshots as an "Agent as Policy", sending movement commands that stay held until its next reply arrives — the world keeps moving while it thinks.

Through an autoresearch loop it learns strategies like prioritizing escape over chasing food, finishing reachable pickups before switching targets, and choosing the next direction after a pickup instead of repeating the held action.

The repo includes visual policy evaluation, empirical latency profiles, and research artifacts; the author invites others to drop Sol into new environments to see what it learns.
