MIT uses Battleship game to teach AI models smarter problem solving and strategic thinking

Researchers at MIT and Harvard turned the classic Battleship game into an AI training ground, revealing a critical weakness in today's systems: they excel at answering questions but struggle to ask them. By teaching AI models to plan better questions, smaller models like Llama 4 Scout achieved an 82% win rate against humans—up from just 8%—while operating at a fraction of the cost of larger frontier models.

The problem stemmed from reinforcement learning rewarding a nerdy personality setting that favored creature metaphors. The company had to explicitly instruct Codex to stop mentioning mythological creatures unless relevant to user queries.
