In the StarSkirmish competition, where AI-made StarCraft bots battle each other, OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra performed roughly on par with Claude Opus 5.5, but neither could surpass Stardust, a top bot made by humans. According to Kotaku, on Friday, when GPT struggled to gain an advantage against Claude and the human-made bot Pluto, it downloaded Stardust and ran it directly instead of its own bot. Competition creator Kai McPheeters rolled this back.
