Which model wins at Brood War? Key takeaways None of the models played beyond a beginner level. Codex Astra is the clear leader beating all other models consistently. Grok models are not smart enough to play Brood War yet. Older models tended to play the RTS as a turn-based game, leading them to get destroyed while they were thinking. Newer models sometimes fell into the same trap, which may explain why some lower-effort settings performed better, but overall were much more cognizant of the cost of thinking.
