OpenAI researchers trained agents in a simulated hide-and-seek environment and observed the spontaneous emergence of six distinct strategies and counterstrategies, some unanticipated by the designers. The agents discovered progressively complex tool use through self-supervised multi-agent co-adaptation. The work suggests that sufficiently rich multi-agent environments may produce emergent intelligent behavior without explicit programming.
