вЂњWeвЂ™re not going to release the code, in part because this would have a major impact on the online poker community,вЂќ Brown says.

One application the pair donвЂ™t have in mind for their code is winning money at poker. The comparable figure for Libratus, which played against itself on a supercomputer for two months, would be on the order of $1 million, he says. вЂњYou could develop something like this on a cloud computing service for about $150, which makes it really feasible to apply this to other domains,вЂќ Brown says.

AI bots developed for complex videogames such as DOTA 2 have required weeks of training on hundreds of thousands of processors. The bot needed eight days of playing against itself on a single powerful server with 64 processor cores to master the game.

The WIRED Guide to Artificial IntelligenceД«rown says that new approach also has the advantage of requiring less computing power, making Pluribus relatively cheap to run. After each hand, the system reviews what happened and what might have worked better-any improvements are added to its core strategy. Pluribus is similar to Libratus in that it built up its skills by playing trillions of hands against versions of itself. Nothing from the project with Facebook will be licensed to either of Sandholm's companies, although some techniques central to Pluribus predate the project. But Sandholm has said one of Strategy RobotвЂ™s selling points is using ideas proven in poker and his other AI projects to make simulated-or even real-battlefield strategies more robust against enemy actions. The other, Strategy Robot, signed a two-year contract worth up to $10 million with the Pentagon in 2018 Sandholm and the Pentagon decline to discuss the contract. One of those companies, Strategic Machine, works on uses such as improving bots in videogames and helping companies set optimum prices that take into account how competitors will respond. He has established two companies to commerВcialize work on AI strategizing techniques from his lab.

Sandholm at CMU says he has already proven the commerВcial-and even national security-value of software that can strategize.
