Epoch AI to publish over a thousand SpireClimb gameplay recordings

What happened

Epoch AI recorded over a thousand runs of Slay the Spire and its sequel for SpireClimb and will publish them over the coming weeks with subtitles showing models’ in-game thinking. The videos are reconstructed from model play data rather than recorded live; the archive will not include future models’ runs.

Epoch AI said frontier models could barely beat the game six months earlier. Epoch AI also said it had recorded more than a thousand runs of Slay the Spire and its sequel for SpireClimb and would publish them on YouTube over the coming weeks, with subtitles showing the models’ in-game thinking. The videos are reconstructed from model play data rather than recorded live. Epoch AI said it does not plan to add future models’ runs to the archive.
