OpenAIWe’ll be holding our final live event for OpenAI Five at 11:30am PT on April 13\.
We’ll showcase aspects of OpenAI Five which we think illustrate how humans and AI will interact in the future\. We believe that AI’s impact on the world will be driven by its competence, scalability, and ability to enhance what humans can do—and this event will use OpenAI Five to concretely demonstrate each of these\. We hope Finals will help people better internalize AI progress and how it will affect the world\.
We started working with Dota 2 because we expected it to be a good testbed for developing[general\-purpose AI technologies](https://openai.com/five/#overview)\. It has additionally turned out to be a great avenue for helping people experience modern AI—which we expect to become a high\-stakes part of people’s lives in the future, starting with systems like self\-driving cars\.
OpenAI Five Finals will be hosted in the Bay Area on April 13\. The event will run from 11:30am to about 4pm \(exact length depends on game duration\)\. Doors will open at 11am\.
Last year’s Benchmark—a taste of what Finals will be like\.
OpenAI Five becomes the first AI to defeat world-champion esports professionals in Dota 2, winning two back-to-back matches against OG at the OpenAI Five Finals. The breakthrough was achieved through unprecedented scaling of training compute rather than novel algorithms, and the team is retiring OpenAI Five while announcing plans to deploy it for public internet play.
OpenAI Five completed a benchmark match against humans in Dota 2, demonstrating improved capabilities including expanded hero pool (18 heroes), Roshan pit mechanics, and wards. The system shows general training flexibility in acquiring complex game skills.
OpenAI Five is a reinforcement learning agent that masters Dota 2 through self-play training with curriculum learning and strategic randomization, progressing from random behavior to executing complex human-level strategies.
OpenAI releases benchmark results for OpenAI Five, their Dota 2 playing system, detailing training methodology across six major revisions with compute requirements ranging from 8 to 35 petaflop/s-days and introducing new network architecture tooling.
OpenAI Five competed against top professional Dota 2 teams at The International 2018, losing both matches against elite human players while demonstrating competitive gameplay and strategic depth developed through self-taught learning.
