What happened
The AI system Ataraxos has decisively beaten the best Stratego player of all time. The board game is a tough test for AI because both sides set up their pieces face down. Google Deepmind fell short in 2023 despite a multimillion-dollar budget. Researchers from Carnegie Mellon, NYU, Stanford, and MIT built Ataraxos for less than $8,000.
