A Research Scientist at Google DeepMind just dropped a 58 page paper on building agents that specialize in game theory.

Here are the most important parts: Image The problem with existing agents - You need to prompt the LLM to generate actions.

But this doesn't work in games that have perfect or imperfect information.

Instead, they implement a trick:

This is huge.

A group of 50 AI researchers (ByteDance, Alibaba, Tencent + universities) just dropped a 303 page field guide on code models + coding agents.

And the takeaways are not what most people assume.

Here are the highlights I’m thinking about (as someone who lives in Python + agents):Image 1) Small models can punch way above their weight

If you do RL the right way (RLVR / verifiable rewards), a smaller open model can close the gap with the giants on reasoning-style coding tasks.
