The OpenAI’s o3 model has been assigned the challenge of embarking on a journey in Pokemon Red, with the objective of triumphing over the Elite Four to claim the title of Kanto’s champion.
Since May 27, the experiment being broadcasted on Twitch features an AI explaining its thought process behind each on-screen decision it makes while working towards completing a set of goals. The main objective may be for the AI to finish the entire game, but this larger goal is broken down into smaller, manageable tasks.
Currently, the model has successfully collected two out of the eight necessary Gym Badges, which are essential for reaching the final stage, the Elite Four. The next destination is Vermilion City where it plans to catch a ride on the S.S. Anne.
It’s yet unclear how much time it will require, but each action, whether it’s a move or a battle, goes through careful consideration for the optimal duration to ensure efficiency.

What is OpenAI o3?
Instead of ChatGPT, which is a versatile chatbot, OpenAI o3 is specifically engineered as a more advanced model, offering enhanced capabilities in logical problem-solving compared to its general counterparts.
It’s not explicitly stated why Pokemon Red was selected to demonstrate these traits, but it could be due to its methodical gameplay paired with intricate mechanics. The Game Boy classic has often been utilized for innovative projects in the past.
2014 saw the launch of TwitchPlaysPokemon, a platform that enabled viewers worldwide to jointly play Pokemon Red by casting votes on game commands. This communal effort became incredibly popular, eventually spreading like wildfire across the internet. After a grueling 16-day battle, the final boss, Blue, was defeated, bringing the stream to an exhilarating close.
Back in 2025, a software engineer didn’t create the first instance of using Pokemon for testing AI capabilities, though. As early as April of that year, they taught Google’s Gemini software to play Pokemon Blue.
