Round 2, fight! GPT5.6 chains together an impressive set of techniques to gain ACE and uses that to render a Mortal Kombat logo in-game. End-to-end the model took 30-40 minutes to produce and validate the full chain. I assume we achieve SOTA here in Pokemon Red exploitation π»
Do you even pokemon bro? I'm doing some harness/benchmark development, here GPT5.6 finds a short path to trigger a deterministic invalid-species fallback in pokemon red using a WRAM type confusion -> integer underflow -> pokedex oob r/w πΆοΈ

It may also be interesting to understand how the model spent that time as a breakdown. Note that my benchmark has independent components which place restrictions on the model and are validated at runtime by a memory oracle.

The model also demonstrated other objectives, like it is able to crash the emulator (MBC3 banking) using only valid game state and inputs, theoretically it could then escape but this would require a lot more work. Eventually it may be good to do some write-ups on pokemon primitives and exploit chains. I imagine the speedrunning and TAS community must be going through a golden age.
