The Yokai Learning Environment: Tracking Beliefs Over Space and Time

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2508.12480v2 Announce Type: replace The ability to cooperate with unknown partners is a central challenge in cooperative AI and widely studied in the form of zero-shot coordination (ZSC), which evaluates an algorithm by measuring the performance of independently trained agents when paired. The Hanabi Learning Environment (HLE) has become the dominant benchmark for ZSC, but recent work has achieved near-perfect inter-seed cross-play performance, limiting its ability to track algorithmic progress.
