I forgot about Tettleton's Chew, ha ha. Almost fits! 41 games to Cicero's 40.
In other news, doing some digging to try and see if I ever interacted with Tettleton's Chew let me know that Maniac invited me to a game eleven years ago:

Oops.
Finally, I get some sort of reply. I can sleep now having ticked this off my outstanding invites list
Eleven years is a long time, Maniac. But I'm up for the challenge. When do we start?

Amazing! Looking forward to reading the paper(s).

How much investment would it be to get that many gpu cores and how many diplomacy players (worldwide) would join this site as a result?

Are there any other communities/websites involved in similar efforts?
Did this bit also use other websites to train?
We’re definitely sniffing around trying to find these answers. First step is to get it running and do some experiments, see what the real constraints are, then we can figure out whether it’s feasible to get it in production of if optimisation/moore’s law is the only answer.

I don’t think other sites are involved. The original MILA no-press bot did incorporate data from other sites, but only webDip was involved in the full-press project. (I’m hoping to release the redaction system we built for this project so that perhaps in future other sites can see the level of filtering and white-listing that goes into it; perhaps if they don’t have to do the redaction work they’d be more comfortable sharing data to help improve the AI).

Lex Fridman's podcast with Noam Brown about Cicero. (The first half is about their prior work on poker. Diplomacy discussion starts ~ 1:12.)

For a standard fee per game it could still be doable.

Not sure that is the model webdip would like to go, but if was literally paying for the gpu time, it might be reasonable.

Are 56 GPUs required for each instance of the bot? If so, that's a prohibitively high cost. If 56 GPUs would be able to cover many instances, it seems high but possible.

I feel bad for the poor chap who really wants to register an account as the DiploMattress, but won't be able to since the username is already taken.

It’s franz_broseph and SchmendrickTheMagician

You can tell because the GitHub uses the Game IDs and country.
https://github.com/facebookresearch/dip ... cted_games

So if you played in any of those games, your conversations with the bots are now public
It looks like there must be another user too since franz-broseph and SchmendrickTheMagician only played 28 games between them:
https://webdiplomacy.net/userprofile.php?userID=137565
https://webdiplomacy.net/userprofile.php?userID=137560
The list of accounts the AI agent played under are:
franz-broseph
SchmendrickTheMagician
DiploMattress
fishandcrisps
small_riot_on_the_western_fron
MisterMiyagi
ambassador1

(from an email I received informing me I’d played in a press game with the AI)

Claesar, I've been analyzing some of Cicero's games and reading the chats. Yours have been some of the most interesting. I sent you a message if you want to compare notes.

I had no idea I was playing a bot in the 6 games I played against it! Very impressive communication.

Yes, it always replied with good grammar and interpunction. I typically do as well, and several others players do too. It didn't strike me as a tell.
Glad you enjoyed playing against it! It was a ton of fun working on the project!

This is fascinating and impressive! I'm happy to see webDip collaborating on these projects!

Congrats to the Meta team! it's not just the Zuckerverse they do some very cool stuff too. Look forward to reading and digesting this properly

I asked whether we'd be able to get it running permanently and was told the AI needed 56 GPUs to run.. so it'll be a while before you can play against a full press AI on play.webdiplomacy.net :( (hopefully not too long though.. I really want that functionality)
