About LLM Game Bench

🎮 Why This Benchmark Matters

AI benchmarks today focus heavily on text, math, and coding. But real intelligence isn't just about predicting the next word in a sentence—it's about understanding the world, making decisions, and adapting to new challenges.

LLM Game Bench is a first-of-its-kind benchmark that tests AI models in a dynamic, visual environment: Pokémon Red. Unlike traditional tests, this evaluates AI on:

• ✅Visual Understanding – Can the AI interpret pixel-based game screens, recognize objects, and navigate the world?
• ✅Intuitive Decision-Making – Without explicit instructions, can it figure out game mechanics like a human would?
• ✅Context Memory – Does it remember its progress, track items, and set long-term goals?
• ✅Strategic Planning – Can it build a team, plan routes, and make battle decisions?
• ✅Adaptability – How well does it handle surprises and recover from mistakes?

By limiting the AI to screenshots, memory, and controller inputs, we force it to play like a human, making this a true test of problem-solving and reasoning.

🤖 Why Games Are the Perfect AI Benchmark

Unlike static datasets, games challenge AI to think, plan, and react in real-time. Pokémon Red provides the perfect environment because:

• 🎯No Model Is Pre-Trained on This – Unlike math or code tasks, AI wasn't built to play Pokémon, making this a fair benchmark.
• 🕹️It Combines Multiple AI Skills – Vision, memory, decision-making, and adaptability all come into play.
• 🌎It Mirrors Real-World Problems – From autonomous systems to workflow automation, this kind of AI reasoning applies beyond gaming.

The ultimate goal? To understand where AI models truly excel—and where they fall short.
