This is madness... OpenAI o1 model builds a fully functional "chess game" that allows me to compete against an AI-based opponent. o1-preview is the real deal.

it's a damn good model:

Finally a non-snake game coding example. Looks amazing.

Lmao, I believe it's also a common game, but what sets it apart is the competition between AI & human.

hm... Nc6 is strange for a minmax algorithm, since it looses a piece on e4

I think situations like this really highlight the difference between human and computer chess understanding. we might see Nc6 and instantly recognize the danger, relying on pattern recognition and experience. the engine, on the other hand, might be focusing on a narrow set of calculations and miss the bigger picture.

I built this months ago in 4o, and mine has the 2 ai's play against each other. o1 can do it in less prompts but its not some emergent capability...

This is one of the tests that AI models were failing to build up until now. #o1 is truly amazing at coding!

I'm blown away, it took me almost 8-10 minutes. Question is: Are we (devs) going to replace it in the future?

I can do this in seconds, with a quick search and a ‘git clone’. How much novel programming is it really doing? A better test would be to create something truly novel

What is mad about it? Chess code is probably the more common code out there in public internet. My hard disk can also give you that code. PHD level hard disks !
