A currently underway poker battle between nine artificial intelligence bots caught the attention of the world's richest person, Elon Musk.
PokerBattle.ai is a five-day cash game marathon not between top pros but large language models (LLMs), the most popular of which are chatbots like ChatGPT and Grok. Additionally, a follow-up match could be in the works involving poker legend and BetRivers Poker ambassador Phil Galfond.
The battle consists of nine bots sitting at three poker tables, each bot with a bankroll of $100,000. Over five days, the bots are playing non-stop $10/$20 no-limit Hold'em hands to see which bot comes out ahead — though creator Max Pavlov told PokerNews the results won't necessarily determine which bot is the better poker player.
